    ________________

    WANLESS' MUSIC STORE.

    An Extensive Establishment .

    For a business to have been conducted under one name for over forty years means something. As a rule it means that the application of sound business principles, integrity and upright dealing have begot public confidence to such an extent that it was possible to carry on a successful business for so long a period. Mr. Geo. Wanless who conducts the well known music store in Berlin has been in business for over 25 years. His father, the late John Wanless, conducted the same business for 16 years previously, so that the name 'Wanless' has become a synonym for all that is reliable and worthy in musical instruments. Wanless' music store is filled with a surprisingly large stock of all knds of musical instruments. It is not too much to say that it is a credit, not only to Berlin but also to this part of the Province. First and foremost Mr. Wanless handles the leading pianos of the country including the renowned Nordheimer, Canada's best instrument. The famous Doherty and Thomas organs are also on sale here, and a splendid variety of phonographs, violins, accordeons and other smaller instruments. The dolceola, a new musical invention, finds a place in this store, together with a vast amount of the latest sheet music and the latest automatic instruments, such as piano players, etc. In addition to the musical lines indicated, Mr. Wanless deals in all grades of the New Home sewing machine.
