THE FINEST OF
NEW ENTERPRISES.
A St. Louis bank started the
trouble by establishing a “stock
ing room” for the convenience
of its lady patrons. Next a hos
iery manufacturer produced a
stocking with a pocket in it.
J^ow some Connecticut Yankees
are trying to contrive a combina
tion lock for the pocket. Very
enterprising banks may soon be
distributing lock-pocket socks
for savings on the you-have-the
bank-we-have-the-key plan. It
will be an inspiring sight when
| the depositors line up to be un
j locked, and the bank officer who
is appointed to act as turnkey
should be one capable of bend
ing to his work with energy, yet
j ever mindful of the grave re
sponsibilities of his position.—
: Bank Notes.
This thought has furnished
food for reflection as well as in
spiration to Captain T. D. Kin
man’s Newport friends, who
have been wondering how well
he would fulfill the duties of
official turnkey. That he wouid
preserve the dignity of his office
! in this act of the flunky no one
! doubts, but some one had to ask,
! what would the captain do in
case of a rusty lock that resisted
the efforts of the turnkey, and
another answered; “He would

the time and in a short while the
| trestle and a number of cars

KEYSTONE OF1
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, the founds"
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reaJhed the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. An
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
Jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball «ystem and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
