When I Leave One Of These Pianos InYour Home We Are Both S;

Two kinds of Pianos are to be had. One.Pianos in name only. The other.true royalty of the piano world. The purehase of one sort means

pleasures mared.to possess the other means lasting pleasure and satisfaction.At the store of Walter D. Moses & Co. you find the world's accepted best. Pianos and other instruments that there is no questioning the value of.The name.the trade-mark.on them is a badge of honor, a standing sign of superiority. Now that the glad holiday season is nearing, and you

are going to buy a Piano, do not trifle with your opportunity.get one of the Moses line.one of these.

Steinway, Weber, Hardman, Steck, Kimball, WheelocK, Stuyvesant,Brewster, Haines, Standard, Weser, Hinze and the Pianola Piano

These were purchased dircct from the factories. Each was pcrsonally selected. The different styles in Grands and Uprights are all here. Easymonthly payments if you wish.

Now~before youbuy.is the time tolearn the truthabout the PlayerPiano SituationYou simply cannot afford to make a

mistake in thc purehase of a player piano.Its quality.or lack of quality.may makeor mar the home circle's pleasure for manya year to come.

Yet some people do make a vital mistakein this very thing.The chief cause for trouble is this: The

terms "Pianola" and "Pianola Piano"become so commonly known.so widelyaccepted.so standardized.that many peo¬ple take "Pianola" to mean any pianoplayer and "Pianola Piano" to mean anypiano with a player built into it.Very few of the Pianola's imitators care

to correct this common mistake. So foryour own interest, learn the truth here andnow: Be SURE it is a Pianola Piano.

The player piano you buy is not aPianola Piano unless the name "Pianola"is actually on it.And your favorite piano, containing a

lesser player than this, cannot possibly doitself justice.

Victors and Vic¬trolas as Gifts

The Victor and Victrola are thcgreatest musical instruments theworld has ever known.You can judge of their perfection by

the fact that President Taft, besides mak-ing records for the Victor, has a Victorhimself. So has Preisdent Diaz, of Mex¬ico, and His Holiness Pope Pius X.And among the crowned heads of Europe

and Asia who use the Victor for^ theirpleasure may be mentioned the King ofEngland, the Emperor of Germany, theKing of Italy, the Queen of Spain, theKing of Portugal and the Shah of Persia.With all the money at their command

these rulers can secure nothing that givesthem so much pleasure as the Victor.
