HOBART M. CABLE STORE
ANNOUNCES PIANO SCHOOL
Shelbyville Branch Organizes Classes Under compe-
tent Instructor to Begin June 13.
The Hobart M. Cable Store, Shelbyville, Ind., is
now offering a course of piano lessons for the sum-
mer months. This summer school was designed with
the thought of helping the children of Shelbyville to
spend their summar vacation wisely, in learning to
play the piano. All children who enroll, instead of
merely idling away the entire vacation period, will
be gaining a good foundation for a worthwhile mu-
sical education.
Each child enrolled in the course receives two pri-
vate lessons and one class lesson each week, under
the most competent direction. In fact, the Hobart
M. Cable store is so confident of the success of its
efficient, up-to-date method of instruction that it offers
a money back guarantee if a child fails to play the
piano by the 20th of August.
Mrs. Geneva Brown, of the Illinois University of
Music, has been engaged to take personal charge of
the Summer Piano School. Mrs. Brown received her
early musical education at the Illinois University of
music and she employs the most up-to-date methods
of great American and European teachers. Children
studying under her this summer will be indeed privi-
leged.
In order that each child may receive the utmost in
individual attention and instruction, the class is being
limited to 50 members. This is the maximum
