A MUSIC SHOP FOR HALF-A-CROWN.

Of course, the above heading docs no* mean the shop itself, nor yet the whole contents : for it is manifest- to the most simple-minded person that one could not buy a piano, nor vet on© of its most humble musical rivals, a concertina, for half-a-crown. but- it will hardly be contended that in offering, as we do, to our readers for the modest sum above mentioned. over six hundred pieces of music, there is much exaggeration in the statement that we are giving away a music s-.op ; ior. in many places where music is sold, you would vainly search for such a varied collection as six hundred musical compositions. In accordance with the policy lately in* augurated by the -N. Z. Mail,” ” we have made such satisfactory arrangements as will enable us to supply to oui readers the ” DIAMOND BOOK Oh SONGS,” which contains over six hundred of the world’s favourite and best songs, including words and music. Tins book contains the greatest aggregation, of songs ever bound together' between tiie covers of one book, issued at a popular price. It contains negro, comic, sentimental, pathetic. and other treasures, many since iong out of print, and to be had in no other way ; others priceless on account of tender" memories or early associations—songs that will never die. This valuable book also has within its covers tlie war, patriotic and national songs of every country. Ii one had tc purchase each song separately. the cost would run into as many pounds as we are able to supply it at ior pence. AYe are in a position to send it to our readers to any address for Two .Shillings and Sixpence, posted free, or if before purchasing you would prefer seeing a list containing the names of all the songs in this incomparable book, send a stamp. Payment to be made b.y i .0.0., or postal note, to winch exchange should be added ; stamps 2d extra. Address—Anglo-American Publishing Co., Sussex Street. Sydney, X.S.W.
