) fltiiTin'iii WT* A. E. Richards Druggist Cedarvilie, Ohio Children Love The *Cheney As an entertainer of children, the Cheney haa.no pier. They dance with delight to its lively airs,. They march to its music like soldiers on parade. They listen, en­ tranced, when it plays chib drens reqords,nursery rhymes, fairy stories and jolly jokes o f minstrels and “ vaude- villians” and when they are ready for bed, the Cheney sings them to sleep. *■ cltSxe " ■ /C h e n e y . ... P H O N O G R A P H \Plaijsall records- heller The serene purity of Cheney tone endears it to all who hear. Great as is its value as an entertainer, this instru­ ment fills a much higher mission in the home, by in- a love for the very best in music. The Cheney Tonal System insures the correct in­ terpretation of the ma*terpieces of music. . For this reason it is particularly valuable as an aid to music students. Cheney cabinets are thoroughly in keeping with the superior musical qualities of the instrument. s'* .
