A WISE GUY.
Who is the gent who talks so loud
About the world at large,
Who seems to feel so justly proud
Of things put in his charge?
He tells with gusto of the way
He works the world's affairs,
And points with pride, as well he may,
To problems that he squares.

Touching upon the claims of the Strohber Grand on
the discriminative buyer this is said:
"No expense has been spared in its manufacture,
no refinement passed unnoticed, until you are offered
in the Strohber Grand an instrument of quality that
is unsurpassed."
The latest product of the Strohber Piano Com-
pany is the Strohber Reproducing Piano, of which the
booklet says:
"In the Strohber Reproducing Piano all the delicate
phrasings and fine shadings of the present-day mas-

can hear the world's greatest living artists. The

played by well known artists, are at your command.
For the music lover and the student the Strohber Re-
producing piano is invaluable. This superb instru-
ment is furnished in the Strohber, Style M, upright

You ask him where 'tis best to start
In life's uncertain road,
He'll answer, swift as any dart,
He's toted every load;
He once was clerk and then, you know,
He bought his boss's store,
And when he found trade going slow,
He changed his biz once more.
The knows the plot of every scheme
That ever fools the wise,
Discoursing freely every theme
Of any sort or size;
He counts the prospects of his friends,
In whatsoever trade,
And figures up the bitter end
Of losses to be made.
He knows how best to advertise,
And tells you how you lack
The very things that won the prize
When he ran on the track!
He is the guy who blocks your game,
And tells you not to call—
He knows his boss would say the same—
This guy who knows it all!
SEATTLE HOUSE QUITS.
C. C. Bender & Co., Seattle, Wash., have discon-
tinued business. Mr. Bender is widely known in the
trade and he has been in Seattle for ten years or
more. He had been doing a good business, and why
he discontinues is not reported.
The Greatness of a Piano should be Measured
by its Scale, not by the name on the Fallboard.
The scales from which we build
are designed and originated by C. C. Chickering who
commands a fund of piano tradition and experience reach-
ing back into the very beginnings of the piano industry.
