ARTHUR BREE MUSIC SERVICE I*adie3 and Gentlemen, One day last week a lady happened into our showroom, attracted by the wealth of music from our exclusive “Mastertone” Cabinet Gramophone, which is already winning public favour. Charmed by the melodious and beautiful instrument, she stood by listening intently until a third record was finished. Then she exclaimed with a sigh, “Well, we have a good piano at home, but nobody ever plays it. I wish we had that gramophone.” On being informed by my salesman that she could have the handsome gramophone before her in exchange for the piano, she promptly decided on a deal, to her immense satisfaction and to the pleasure of her family. A FAIB. EXCHANGE. This experience is one of many and it shows that there are numbers of people who could wisely avail themselves of my offer. Certainly it does seem foolish to keep a piano in a home where it is not regularly played, when such an opportunity is presented to enjoy the active music of a delightful cabinet gramophone, which any member of the family can operate for the general entertainment of the household. Such a proposition is worth the immediate consideration of those in a position to make such an exchange in preference to the usual sacrifice of a used piano at such a low price that replacing the instrument is sometimes out of the question. IN PAET PAYMENT. Other folk may have a used piano and wish to obtain a more modern new model. Here again, my special service is at your disposal. I am prepared to take your old instrument in part payment on any of the new pianos in my showroom. You may make your selection. Whether it is a Brinsmead (Stanley) or Cresswell, both foremost British makes, or one of the famous German pianos, the Hoeffner, it is for you to choose. Further, there are the latest Cresswell Player and the Weaver Player, both of these mechanically-per-fect instruments being the last word in faithful interpretation of the best in music from rolls manipulated with ease. There isn’t the slightest reason why anybody should not have a firstclass piano or gramophone. Think it over now. I undertake, at shortest notice, tuning, re-stringing, keyboard correcting, solo playing and accompanying. If you require piano advice and service ring phone 43-398. Yours faithfully, Drop in and see us. Principal, AIITHTJB BKEE PIANO CO., Phone 43-398.
