The American Musical Association has a membership of over 50,000. The object of the Association is to furnish literature at discounts ranging from 50 to 90 per cent. For 24 cents extra we will end you a copy of the American Musical Association's catalogue, which lists over 40,000 titles of standard classical and popular vocal and instrumental selections, all of which are subject to immense discounts when purchased from the Association. The catalogue also contains a list of about 5,000 pieces which are sold postpaid to members for only 6 cents per copy. The catalogue lists a new and magnificent line of pianos, organs, violins, mandolins and other musical instruments. The regular price of a membership in the American Musical Association is $1.00, but by special arrangement it is gluten free with the above offer. The Association publishes in each issue of Conkey's Home Journal a complete list of titles of new, up-to-date music, which may be obtained from the Association at less than half the regular price.

The Argus-Democrat is the oldest and leading local weekly in Southern Michigan. Now is the time to take advantage of this wonderful offer, for it will be withdrawn as soon as our stock of books is exhausted. Sample sets of the books may be seen at this office. Argus-Democrat, Ann Arbor, Mich.
