A new $40,000 powerhouse for the Hamilton piano
factories in Chicago has just been completed. The

A model home exhibited by the Fain Carter Home
Building Company, Houston, Tex., has been equipped
with a Mathushek piano by the Carter Music Co., of
that city. The Fain Carter Home Beautiful is a lead-
ing argument in the successful "Own Your Own
Home" campaign now in progress there, and the
piano is a "bungalow upright" style, a very popular
type in Houston.
In reporting the home demonstration the Houston

would be complete without a piano and selected the
Carter Music Company to furnish this instrument.
The Carter Music Company has established an en-
viable reputation among business concerns of the
city for the quality of their instruments and their
service, which is without equal. They at all times
keep apace of market conditions and are thereby en-
abled to render to their customers a valuable service
in pointing out to them the most economical manner
in which to purchase musical instruments.
