Another True Story With A Moral. 



• AST c'veuiug one of our fellow town's folks phoned me to 

 come over and "see tbeir new piano." Not hear it, but 

 see it. 



1 went, A more gorgeous case I never saw. The 

 grain of the wood stood out like a map. 



The lid and music rack was a patented slidable — 

 downable — upable — aflair that all the members 

 of the family each in turn showed me how it 

 work-i'd. It al.so had four pedals. This was con- 

 sidered a truly great advantage, I being in- 

 formed that most self-respecting pianos are 

 having only two. The keys had a particu- 

 larly peculiar slant. Just why they slanted 

 was not important. 

 g'Va.y^^ — '^' '{""^^^'^•ffl frir Xothing had been said of its musical tone 



/' J^& ^^^^^^ ^^S^i WM — so I ran my finger up and down the keys 

 ' ' ^ ' and found the tone to be just what you and 



I would have expected. 



It made musical sounds — not tones. As a 

 piece of cabinet work and sample of jim- 

 erack skill, that piano was a wonder. As a 

 musical instrument it ivas a Hat failure. 



On my way home. I couldn't help think- 

 ing how some growers bought their boilers 

 and greenhouses just like those folks bought 

 their piano. 



They allow themselves to put too much 

 Importance on the jim-crack unimportant 

 things and too little on the vital ones. 



What do you care whether a boiler has a 

 certain fandangle grate or not — what you want to know is: Will that boiler 

 beat your bouse economicallj'. 



What do you care about this or that particular unimportant fitting 

 that some concerns talk so loudly about using In their greenhouse con- 

 struction ? 



What you want to know is: Will the construction itself give you the 

 liest growing house fossible and last you longest possible with least possi- 

 ble repairs. 



First be sure you are sure of securing the vitally important things. 

 It's lime enough then, to consider the jim-cracks. 

 Our construction is weak on jim-cracks. 



I-Iut it's strong on the strong points that go to make your investment 

 an enduring paying one. 



rut it down in your note book that plan is. boilers and greenhouses 

 require great rare in their buying.

 business."
