TOE LEXINGTON DISPATCH. Wednesday, December 13, 1905. THE UDDER & BATES PIANO CLUB. How it Was Organized, What it Gives Members and Who Join the Club. Sales Now a Hundred a Month to Satisfied Customers Who Save Nearly $125. Two mouths ago dates the advent of the Ladder* & Bates Piano Club in the city of Savannah and the country around. At that time we chose the Ludden & Bates Piano Club as our mpthnri of introducing the New Scale $400 Ludden & Bates Piano to the public. Since its first organization and a few people were permitted to know the merits of tliis elegant piano it has been almost impossible for us to supply the demand for it. Ludden & Bates Pianos have been sold over the entire South for the past 20 years, but never before have we been able to offer the public such value, such piano satisfaction, at a popular price and on such easy terms of payments. The New Scale $400 Ludden & Bates ! Piano appeals alike to musician and I mechanic. As a medium of corroborating our claims for it at that time the piano has allowed no doubt to remain even in the mind of the most skeptical as to the justice of onr reputation to make good every promise given or every responsibility we assume. The New Scale $400 Ludden & Bates Club Piano is "WARRANTED FOR A LIFETIME" and for the past 35 years the name "Ludden & Bates" has stood for truth, and this instrument in its embodiment of truth is our emblem. MUSICIANS HAVE CHOSEN IT? because it met their demands in every particular. Its resonance of tone, sympathetic quality and wonderful sustaining power, with its evenness of touch, have made it alike the favorite of singer and player. BUSINESS MEN HAVE SELECTED IT?because in all its mechanical appearances it has reached the standard of workmanship, and combining its artistic qualities with its pleasing design - of case, it offers them a Maximum of . Value for a Minimum of Price. MOTHERS DESIRE IT?because it | promises to implant in the minds of their children the purest conception of tone and to train their fingers to skilled teehnique, and besides giving the home the greatest air of refinement, it adorns it with majesty; in fact, all that pertains to the "Ludden & Bates" is regal. It is the only piano made or sold in the South at an absolute, unchangeabe price?to schools, colleges and to the individual alike?8287. There isn't a piano sold in the South that will compare with it for much less han double the club price of $287. Under our club plan nearly 200 people?at least half of whom might never have been able to possess a high grade piano ?are now enjoying the benefits and pleasures of one in their homes. By organizing the Ludden & Bates Piano Clubs we are enabled to sell pianos in lots of 100 at one price, either for cash or on time, with interest, absolutely -cutting out every dollar of expense attached to selling in the usual way. The member joining the club with 99 others purchase together, saving all middle men and agents' profits and expense. YOU BUY IN QUANTITIES ON A CASH BASIS?take time, if you like, by merely paying interest. This has been onr method 01 inducing custom ro our store, without causing extra expense, and by this method we liave successfully furnished individuals instruments at a saving of nearly $125. We ship 'Ludden & Bates'* Pianos everywhere? memberships come from all over the South. . If interested in the fairest and bestpiano proposition ever offered, call or send for details and application for membership blanks. Address Ludden & Bates S. M.

There is no other medicine manufactured that lias received so much praise and so many expressions of gratitude as Chamberlain's Cough. Remedy. It is effective, and prompt relief follows its use. Grateful parents everywhere do not hesitate to. testify to its merits for the benefit of others. It is a certain cure for croup and will prevent the attack if given at the first appearance of the disease. It is especially adapted to children as it is pleasant to take and contains notliing injurious. Mr. E. A. Humphreys, a well known resident and clerk in the store of Mr. E. Lock, of Alice. Cape Colony, South Africa, says: 'T have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to ward off croup and colds in my family. I found it to be very satisfactory and it gives me pleasure to recommend it." Tor sale by Kaufmann Drug Co. Curious Experiment. Anderson Intelligencer. Tbe agricultural department at Washington is now working on a curious experiment. A machine has been invented which does very successful work in the picking of cotton where the boils stand erect, but cannot gather the lint where tbe bolls are low down near the ground. The present type of cotton plant has a marked tendency to grow its bolls near the ground, and the department is now trying to develop a type of plant which will grow more erect?a ca9e where the plant is to be made to suit the machine instead of the machine the plant. Blind, bleeding, itching and protruding piles are instantly relieved by ManZan. This remedy is put up in collapsible tubes with nozzle attachment, so that the medicine may be applied inside directly where the trouble originates. ManZan relieves instantly.
