In_ fact, . == there are few pianos on the market sold for less than three hundred dollars that can be compared with it for artistic tone, splendid construction and superb finish. } We searched the market, East and West, to find a piano of superior qualities, to sell at this moderate price. And the maker told us that no dealer had ever sold the STROHBER for so little before. But he wanted his fine pianos represented in New York city, and we made a contract that is far more to the advantage of our public than it is to us. True, the STROHBER will make hundreds of good friends for us, but it will give infinite rend for a lifetime, to those who secure such a splendid instrument, at such a low price. Compared with other pianos selling at $225, the STROHBER excels them so far that there can be no comparison at all. Of course, those who best know true musical tone will most admire the beautiful STROHBER. True in its beautiful archi- tectural lines; high grade in every detail of workmanship and finish, it is little wonder that all who hear the STROHBER Piano are delighted with it. We have just six more of these beautiful pianos available before Christmas—and there is no value to equal them in all New York —at $225. Those who come early tomorrow will get them. EASY CHRISTMAS TERMS of payment. Your old piano if you have one will be taken in part payment.
