Oar career as piano dealers since 1883 has demonstrated that it is possible to sell good goods at fair prices in spite of the sensational efforts of some piano houses to appeal, to. that weak side of humanity expects to get something for nothing. A little bit of local, business history may not be amiss at this time. When we bought out Wm. Baldwin in 1833 there was not a single piano business on the entire co tist owned by men who are doing business da Neither waa there a high-grade piano handled by the dealers in business at that time.

We commenced in a very humbta way, but immediately offered a better grade of pianos to the public. The first piano we sold was purchased by Mrs. Elizabeth Vreeland, who lived at 503 Asbury avenue. The instrument was a Weber, so it can well be seen that we commenced business by selling the best the very best piano in the market. From a dozen sales per year we have reached a point where we are selling more pianos than all of our competitors taken together.

From small local trade our business has grown so that we cover at least half the state. The story of our summer rental business can be told in few words. The summer of 1883 we rented 12 pianos in Ocean Orove and Asbury Park. Last season we delivered instruments from Atlantic Highlands to Mantoloking and had 363 out on rental. As the output is the key to profit, it can well be seen that with such a business, no one can compete with us in prices.

A patient once said of her doctor He has the largest practice in the city, yet he never seems to have any case but mine." We carry this principle out in our piano business. The consideration given a customer, the attention to his particular needs and our superior knowledge of instruments' is the plea we makefor your patronage. Oun line is unsurpassed it contains the Weber, Ivers Pond, AfcFhaii JSmerson and many others and our exdiange if not satisfactory is back of each sale we make. Our terms are very, very simple Cash if you have it, or Credit it ydnwaut it. J.

NORMAL SCHOOL FIGHT Trenton Will Endeavor to Keep All Accommodations in That City Plan to Enlarge Frilit.ies.

A movement has been inaugurated in Trenton looking to the keeping in that city of the entire Normal school accommodation of the state. A bill will be introduced in the coming legislature for an appropriation of $50,000 for the purchase of the old Magowan mansion as an addition to the school plant on North Clinton avenue. The present owners of the man4oa include former. Senator William H.fkirm and, a number of other politijjpijtt The; bijiling is well adapted for schoor purposes' "and the grounfS addition to the ttaw ohool pf Qflprfy. With this enlargement and some increase in the faculty it is believed tfiat all the Normal ichool pupils of the state could be accommodated at Trenton and that there would be no need of a new school in the northern part of the state.

This, however, vill mean an active opposition from Hudson and Essex county, each of which is looking for a Normal school of its wn. It is argued that many girls and voung men are kept from attending the tate school by reason of the expensf vhich is attached to living at Trenton, and lMs would be overcome if an institution vas provided nearer their homes in thf orthera counties, which are the centn population. Some lively "jockeying'' will result when the matter is brought ip before the lawmakers. PROMINENT MEN SPEAKERS Distinguished Jerseymen Who Have Presided Over Upper Branch of State Legislature.
