HELENA’S BONDS SOLD.
Refunded Issue Commands Lower
Rate of Interest—Sold to a
Chicago House and Ma
ture in 1924.
Helena, May 22.—The council
of the city of Helena at its last1
meeting accepted the bid of N.
W. Harris & Co. of Chicago for
the purchase of the $155,000 is
sue of refunding bonds. Mayor
Sliger and every member of the j
council was in attendance and
Harris & Co. were represented j
by W. P. Chapman of Chicago, j
All terms regarding the sale i
of the bonds were agreed upon
and the transfer will be made
about July 1. The bonds which
will be retired by the present is-;
sue are those floated in the year
1884, and k»own as the railroad
compromise bonds.
These bonds amount to $100.
000, the largest holder being the
Municipal Tt ust Company of New
York, whose share amounts to
$40,GC0. hue other bonds, all of
which are payable at the Na
tional Park Bank in New York,
and are held in small quantities
by different parties.
The difference of $5,000 be
tween the amount of the present
indebtedness and the new bond
issue will be made up out of
money accumulated in the city
treasury, thus saving interest to
the city.
Another big saving of interest
will be caused by the rate of in
ceresr, me new oonas a rawing
but 5 per cent., whereas the old
drew 6. The fact that the new
bonds are serial in form will per
mit the retiring of several thou
sand dollars before the maturing i
of the greater portion ip 1924.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, Ihe founda
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 wavi s to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
t rise), but out of the few who have nearly reaJhod the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of th 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 cf other of Ihe
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, qualily considered
The Kimball system and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
