That which is generally conceded is generally so. It has grown Into
a maxim that the Kimball Company represents the greatest aggregation
of brains employed in the making and marketing of Pianos and Organs.
Tile energy, brains, skill and iuventive genius drawn from all parts of
the world are employed In the building of Kimball Pianos and Organs, and
the unlimited capital and the unlimited ambition of the company has cre

If you arc an intending purchaser you shout dinvestigate the real
merits of these renown h.struments, and in the face of such a record take
no mau's word derogatory to them, remembering that makers of other
instruments, in endeavoring to build up their sales, canuot be expected
to till the real facts about our instruments, else they’d be en1 died to draw
a salary from us, and you will at all times deckle on the Kimball when
the facts are known. There is no instrument made today of equal value
with the modern improvements and valuable patents (about flfty) sold at
an equal price.
Investigate for yourself, as in buying a Piano or Organ you should
buy one to continue satisfactory tor a lifetime, and mistakes are very
