HE LOOKED INSIDE BUT HE DIDN'T SEE John Jones was a man who didn't believe In buying a pig in a poke, so when he was purchasing a piano for his family he did lift the lid and strike a few notes to make sure the "works" were there all right. But Mr. Jones wasn.'t a piano expert, and though he looked inside it didn't do him much good. For that piano had two defects which nobody but a piano expert could have detected. First, there was borer, not visible to casual inspection. Secondly, the plank was so badly strained that accurate tuning was impossible. You can imagine Mr. Jones' feelings when he learned the truth about his "bargain" piano! People without "inside Information" should buy only from recognised- piano dealers, whose reputation offers protection to the public. Chafles Begg pnd Co., Ltd., are a national institution with modern shops in ten cities. They are piano experts with 82 years' experience in buying, selling, constructing and repairing instruments. Begg's used pianos are all thoroughly examined and reconditioned, and are offered at prices that represent to-day's true value. Begg's service protects both buyer and seller. Begg's pay best cash prices for pianos of all makes, and keenly urge owners of idle pianos to make them an offer or to ask for Begg's valuation.— | Advt.
