VOLUME 27. iinnnnnnn. PIANOS, TERWAY The decided superiority of this style of Pinno, as manufactured Dy Messrs, Steinway & Sous, is now universally conceded. Ity perfec- tion is mainly the result of patent- od improvements, invented and controlied exclusively by its malc- ers. These matchless UPRIGH'TS Tinve been sold bf us for nine years, during which time they have, in no instance, failed to give the highest satisfaction. THEY ARE ’l‘l‘ilfl ONLY UPRIGHT PIANOS THAT HAVE STOOD THE TEST O TIME IN OUR MOST EX- ACTING: CLIMATE, From among the thousands who have bought Steinway Uprights we append the names of o few of our prominent citizens, who have recently purchased, and to whom we cheerfully refer as to their merits: Geo.

While Roberts was speak- ing, Negley inquired how long it was after Lo (Roborts) had dvawn his back-pay before ho cov- ored it into the 'rensury. Roberts roplied that if tho gontloman from Pennsylvanis had the np- probation of his conscienco for his own courno, that ought to eatisfy him withont seok- ing {o inquiro juto the motives of othors. Upon Nogley's pressing his query, Toberts, in & very dignified mannor, rofnsod to. pay attention to it, as not being of sufticiont im. portanco to be brought into the discussion, “The rebuke was well taken, and will have a good effect.
