NASHS TRIAL PIANOS! 



SJLES INCREASING. 

 Responsibility in Every Particular. 



lpSS^. I We have for twenty odd years been 

 ip£i4j#ftua engnged in the PIANO FOllTE busi- 

 nf ^ |i nT^ ness, and our sales liave been steadily 

 increnpino: up to the present time. 



Why is this '/ This is siiiei y an evidence of the su- 

 j)eri()Mty of our Pianos. We have sold thousands of 

 fhes(> Pianos to tlie most prominent and reliable men 

 in Virginia, tlie Carolinas and in the South generally, 

 and from them have the mc^st abundant and intrinsi- 

 cally the best proofs of their merit, and to them we 

 are always o;lad to refer, for in no instance have our 

 instruments failed to satisfy the demands of the most 

 exacting taste. 



To persons having dciubts as to where the best Pia- 

 nos are to be purchased, we simplv sav 



"TAKE OUKS UPON "TRIAL." 



Then why purchase from travellinjf agents, con- 

 cerning whose responsibilty you know nothing, whose 

 Pianos iinve not undergone this test in the South, and 

 when such liberal inducements too are offered in Pe- 

 tersburg, Virginia, by E. P. NASH,
