AN ANTONIUS STRADIYARIUS VIOLIN, ( Auno'l’JJBl. ) 
$3. Violin Case, $3. Snakewood Bow, and 600 Pieces Choice Selected Music. 
(Sent C. O. D. with Privilege of Examination.) 
ONLY gio -QQ 
l\ave in stock afew VERY choice 
Violins of the above make that I 
think have had the misfortune- 
owing to a brainless Violin dealer, 
to have been “modernized/' 
namely, repobshed. The renova¬ 
tion has made them, without any 
exception the mostbeau- 
titfulViolins we ever saw. 
These Violins have always been 
famous for their artistic mode land___ 
graceful outhnesand as the repolishing has served to bring out all the rich 
elegance of the wood, shadings from almost black to a rich chestnut hue, words' 
are inadequate to describe the masterpiece of Art they present. The Bow was designed expressly for this offer, is 29 inches long, 
of Snakewood which is noted for beauty and strength ._T he wood is a dark chestnut, mottled with irregular snots of black, making a 
rich contrast to its Silver Bullion windings, "White Ivoty Frog inlaid with H I ot her of Pearl, and German 
Silver trimmings, which makes ita perfect Soloist’s Bow. The cut of the $3.00 Wooden Violin Case is from a 
Photograph, showing the case exactly as it is. Remember I send C. O. D. with privilege of examination, so you can 
seejust what you are buying. Address CHARLES W. STORY, 36 CENTR AL fe»T, BOSTOY, MASS.
