life would have been fearful.

ville was here Tuesday night.
He was badly injured in the
wreck and had to be assisted to
and from the train.

was thrown from her berth into
another across the aisle, but not

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE. ,
- ^
m
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the 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 waves to the merest fraction y
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim 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 °ther 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 system and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
