the appearance of Jackie Coogan at the Liberty the-
ater in "Daddy" gave them an opportunity to do

T H E AMSCO TUNING PIN.
The American Music Supply Co., 451 Communipaw
avenue, Jersey City, N. J., has the proud distinction
of representing a quarter of a century of good ser-

of high quality. The famous Amsco pin is used in
the world's finest pianos and are considered among
the standard commodities in the list of piano sup-

American Musical Supply Co. are summarized in the
fact that the pianos of most admirable tone and con-
struction are equipped with them.
