In view of the , above facts we wish to state that as we have been in the Piano and Organ business in Seaforth for over fifteen years, we can reasonably claim the confidence of intending purchasers, and ask that they may call on us before buying from- agents, who have no stake in the town or country and who do not know whether the geode they are selling for the time being, are shoddy or not.
