BLASIUS AWNINGS FOR BETTER HOMES Exhibit of Spencer Piano Feature of Exposition One of the many features of the Better Homes Exposition will be the exhibit of the Spencer Piano company of Evanston. This company specializes in grtlnd pianos and has been a north shore. institution for many years. Charles· H . Spencer attributes the success of his organization to the fact that he has a thorough knowledge of building pianos. being an expert at the busi ness himself. In the Spencer Piano company salesrooms at 522 Davis street, Evanston, there is a unique and beautiful studio. This studio displays the P. iano in true home environment. Entering, one feels as if he were being shown into the living room of a fashionable home, for the draperies, furniture, oriental rug, in fact, all of the f umishings are most luxurious, .vet in splendid taste. Besides creating a desirable atmosphere, this all insures honesty to the person selecting a piano as there is no chance of being deceived in the tone, for acquired acoustics are identical with those in a home. Selecting a piano from such a show room does not leave so much to the imagination, in wondering how it will look when placed . in the living room or music room of a home, as it is already so placed. This is the only company, as far as we know, that specializes in grand pianos. Only a very small number of uprights are carried in stock, as the modern trend in pianos is all for grands, and around it the home interests and activities are built. Whether chosen for private residence, club pavilion, hotel or business establishment; whether used for decoration or protection on porches, balconies or nook -B-asi us awnings are today preferred by those who want material of unique beauty and rugged dura· bility.
