ENOLISH HALL CLOCK
This stately timepiece is indicative of the kind of Hall
Clocks that we handle. You can easily see that it is no ordi-
nary affair. It is made of mahogany in a winsome Colonial design, and merely as an ornament would take high rank.
But when you add to its ornamental features the fact that
the movement is of the best English make, you get some idea of the pleasure which possession must afford. A choice of three movements may be had, either the plain strike, or the gong, or the tubular chimes. The fact that we guarantee all the clocks we sell to be the best on the market is an added assurance worth consideration. THE COBB-EASTMAN COMPANY Nos. Ill to 117 WASHINGTON ST., 0pp. Adams Sq.

The Pianola Piano
\
The Pianola Piano is entirely original in conception and in attain- ment. It is first of all an upright piano of very high character—such as the artist would select for the best expression of his musical interpre- tations. This one feature is alone worth its cost. But for those whose musical education is more or less circumscribed, or, indeed, for those who have no musical accomplishment whatever, there is the Metrostyle mechanism hidden from view in the upright itself, which enables any one to render even the most classical compositions in a highly accomplished manner. There is no evidence whatever of the Metrostyle attachment. Even the artist is delighted with the Pianola Piano. For the semi- automatic mechanism renders authorized interpretations as personally given by the composers and virtuosi, and thus trains the ear to the most delicate phases of technique.

BANKING ROOM, TEMPLE PLACE OFFICE
PERSON intending to open a bank account should ascertain with care the strength of the institution he selects. The strength of a bank or trust com-
pany is indicated by the amount of its capital and surplus, which, together with the stockholders’
liability, constitute the safe-guard of the deposi- tors against possible loss through depreciation of the assets of the institution. The combined capital, surplus and stockholders liability of the OLD COLONY TRUST COMPANY, amounting to $8,000,000, are larger than those of any other Trust Company in New England, and constitute a fund which is an ample guar- antee of the safety and integrity of its deposits. All accounts receive the same attention, whether large or small, active or inactive. Old Colony Trust Company Main Office Ames Building BOSTON Branch Office 52 Temple Place
