solemn hour of communion from which has come all
the greatness ever created."

MOVES IN CHICAGO.
The Chicago Musical Instrument Co., 311 S. Wa-
bash ave.. Chicago, which was formerly located at 23'1
South Wabash avenue, expresses its satisfaction
through its manager, M. H. Berlin, who was inter-
viewed last week by a Presto-Times representative.
Mr. Berlin, who is well known through the small
goods trade, stated: "We are very happy to take
over this store, as it provides us with one of the best
show windows along Wabash avenue and will be a
great stimulant to our retail trade. It also helps our
wholesale materially, as it gives us more space for
stock. Our dealers are invited to call at our new
location when in Chicago."
