September and has stayed in almost perfect tune all
this time.
"The Weaver Modern Grand piano here in our own
home has been used almost constantly all year for
teaching and for private meetings. Everyone has
a very favorable impression of it. It has a lovely
tone."
Extensive Sales of All Instruments in Line of House

The Baldwin Piano Company, Cincinnati, has pub-

country is covered by the list. The favor of the pur-
chasers for the various instruments also is interest-
ing to the Baldwin representative.
In the Chicago Division the sales of Baldwin Grands
are in the largest proportion, a fact which shows the
strong appeal of that instrument. A similar degree
of favor for the Baldwin grand is expressed in the
sales by the San Francisco Division.
But the appeal of the Hamilton, Howard, Ellington
and Monarch pianos in all models of grand and up-
right pianos was strong everywhere, a fact made clear
by the interesting facts in the Roll of Honor.

USES MANY WEAVER PIANOS
Great Yenching Institution Orders Additional Instru-

Pianos made by the Weaver Piano Company, Inc.,
York, Pa., are used throughout the Yenching Uni-
versity, Peking, China, which is recognized as the
outstanding institution of higher learning and culture
in that country. Bliss M. Wyant, in charge of musi-
cal instruction in the university, in a recent letter to
the Weaver Piano Co. says:
"I am writing today to order two Weaver pianos,
Style 57, to be used in the School of Religion on our
new site. It is only the best that will stand the
strain of the changing climate here and since we are
making an investment now, which perhaps cannot be
made again for many years, the best is the cheapest
in the end.
