A Gift With a

STRING TO IT. It was Molly's 21st birthday and Grandpa had sent her a letter wdth a curious little lump in the middle of it. Alolly couldn't guess what it could be aud great was her surprise when she found the letter contained a cheque with a piece of string around it. Just Grandpa's little joke, because his gift had a string to it! The cheque was to buy a piano—but it had to be bought at Begg's. The letter said that though Alolly was a smart girl, she didn't know much about piano values and she was to put all the responsibility on Begg’s, whose reputation would safeguard her. Grandpa wanted to make absolutely sure that Arolly didn't buy a piano with borer, or with a worn or out-of-date Action, or some other defect that might be irreparable. At best, repairs are costly and may take months under present conditions/ With depleted staffs and shortage of materials, music houses cannot always undertake outside repair work. Begg's piano service protects both buyer and seller. As a buyer you are guaranteed a sound instrument and full money's worth at Begg's. Tf you have a piano to sell you can rely upon receiving to-day’s best cash prices. Begg’s want to buy pianos of all makes and invite owners to make them an offer or to get Begg’s valuation.
