MUSIC IN WAR-TIME. i " The present is essentially a time for home-enjoyment—for simple diversions that keep the family-circle in courage and good cheer. Nothing so admirably meets this need as a highgrade English Piano, such as "one can easily obtain at ‘The Bristol.’ Of the many famous instruments stocked by this popular music warehouse none enjoys such an enviable reputation as ‘The Broadwood.’ Made by the oldest-established' firm of piano manufacturers in the British Empire— John Broadwood and Sons, Ltd. — every model is the result of nearly two hundred years’ adherence to the highest ideals in piano construction. Another notable Piano at ‘The Bristol’ is ‘The Sames’. Its exceptional durability is a tribute to the thoroughness of British craftsmanship. Prices are most reasonable, and easy terms of payment can be arranged if so desired. The Bristol Piano Co. Ltd,, . V Wellington. North Island Manager, M. J. B'rookes. Local Representative: H. J. Dashwood.
