This is the season of music. Every heart is attuned to melody. We see it in the eye, we hear it in the voice. Even the elastic step of the pedestrian seems to be responsive to the harmonies of the soul within. And this brings us to the music store of Prof. Marquis, a gentleman and a scholar, whose accomplishments cover a wide range and who has long been regarded as an authority in all matters pertaining to music. Musical culture is not only a pleasure, but it makes us better, and to this Prof. Marquis has contributed his full share. There is a delicacy and a refinement in the presentation of a music instrument, or a sheet of music it may be, to a friend, that touches the finer sensibilities, making the friendship lasting and strong. Every kind of instruments, and a great variety of sheet music is found here and the Professor will be happy to serve you. --- kbz
