The JESSE FRENCH is a popular rival of all claimants for the second position, because of its acknowledged durability, elegant ton.e and action, while the RICHMOND is certainly the best commercial Piano in America, moderate in price and thoroughly reliable.

SIXTH, OLIVE AND LOCUST. ~~ 314 N. 6th The "Crown" Piano, the one of" many tones," embodies the highest attamments in the art of Piano making, and is in acconl with the best ideals of piano construction. The ''Crown" Piano is strictly and in the fullest sense a high grade piano. It is not surpassed in any way by any "single tone" piano. It is all, and has all that will be found in any other high grade piano; and, in addition thereto, its many-tone capabilities give it range and capacity above and beyond all others, doing away completely with the objections to the ordinary pianos, because of the monotony of their one ''single tone." Its multi-tone adjustment does not complicate its construction, or in any way affect the quality of the piano tone except to more than double its life. • It is an essential part in the construction of the ''Crown" Piano, and is built into each and every" Crown'' Piano made. All of the various tones and tone effects, aside from the regular piano tone, are produced by it. No other piano has this multi­ tone adjustment; no other piano can have it, because it belongs exclusively to the'' Crown" Piano. The great varieties of tone, tone shading and tone effects produced by the "Crown" Piano, give it the greatest and most varied capacity of any piano ever made. Any person who can play in the ordinary piano tone, can quickly learn to ex­ ecute in the various tones. The original and exclusive attributes and capabilities of the "Crown" Piano in its piano tone and its other " many tones" charm and attract all pianists and vocalists who hear it. It is much more pleasing, enter- •oprrl,hltd!S9s, by Goo. P. a.... taining and satisfactory than any" single tone" piano can be. The confidence nf the manufacturer in his product is evidenced by his ten years warranty, which is" burnt in the back" of each instrument. Illus­ trated catalogue with music free. GEO. P.
