"SEMPLE & WILSON, PIANOFORTE, HARMONIUM, AND AMERICAN ORGAN WAREHOUSE,
123, DUKE STREET, GLASGOW. MESSRS. Semple & Wilson, after a valuable experience in the business extending to every branch, joined in partnership some three years ago, commencing operations in the premises they still occupy. Mr. Wilson retired from the firm some time ago, and Mr. John W. Semple is now the sole proprietor. The premises occupied are capitally well situated and are very desirable for their extent and convenience. They comprise a splendid show-room in the front, with two large plate-glass windows looking on the street, and stores and workshops below. Every department is thoroughly well fitted up, and the show-room is lofty, well lighted, and in every respect admirably adapted to display to the best advantage the superior collections of instruments it always contains. All the instruments offered are bought by himself, and every one before being sent out is thoroughly tested. He is thus able to fully guarantee all instruments, and patrons will find that nowhere can more reliable goods be secured than at Messrs. Semple & Wilson’s warehouse. The selection is of a very wide character, and includes the latest and most improved productions of the leading makers such as Collard & Collard, Broadwood, Erard, Steinway, Hopkins, Bechstein and others in pianos. In American organs are the best achievements of Bell, Estey, and Smith Organ Company, while harmoniums are equally well represented. The general stock is comprehensive, including ample selections of banjos, guitars, harps, flutes, piccolos, concertinas, violins, melodeons, cornets, and all kinds of wind and string instruments, among which will be found some striking novelties only just introduced to the trade. Prices here are of a very favourable kind, and every inducement in the way of payment is held out to purchasers. Everything in connection with the music trade is undertaken. Pianos are let out on hire by the day, week, or month; tuning is done singly or by contract; pianists are supplied, and bands are furnished for concerts, dances, &c. Business relations are maintained throughout the east end, with Dennistown, and for many miles in the suburbs. Mr. Semple is very popular in trading and professional circles, and much respected for his straightforward methods of doing business. He is young, able, and enterprising, and well worthy of the success he is winning."

"C. P. STEVENSON, DEALER IN PIANOFORTES, AMERICAN ORGANS, AND ALL KINDS OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, ARCADE, STIRLING. MR. Stevenson commenced business in this direction two years ago. Supplemented by energy and enterprise and a well-cultured musical taste, he soon became recognised as a leading man in his line. The premises occupied are capitally situated in a prominent part of the Crawford Arcade. There is a large and attractive plate-glass frontage, where a splendid display is always made of the high-class instruments for which the house is noted. The premises run 50 feet to the rear, and have been fitted up in a handsome and effective style. Mr. Stevenson procures his goods from the most famous and reliable makers, and insures their perfection in every detail by a close personal examination. His stock includes splendid specimens of the manufacture of such celebrated producers as Hopkinson, Barnett Samuel & Sons, Hilton & Hilton, and Kaps, Dresden, and he has also in stock organs by Mason and Hamlin, Chicago Organ Company, Kelly & Co., Karn & Co., and others. Mr. Stevenson is the appointed agent for the well-known firm of Messrs.

A special feature is made of hiring out pianos, and second-hand pianos are taken in part-payment of new ones. By supplying in every case the most desirable and satisfactory goods, and paying prompt and careful attention to the requirements of customers, a widespread and valuable connection is maintained among the leading families and musical societies in Stirling and the surrounding country. Mr. Stevenson is well known in professional circles, where his ability as a musician is fully recognised. He is frequently before the public as the leader of high-class vocal and instrumental concerts, and no one has done, or is doing, more to uphold the musical status and reputation of the town. As a business man he is upright, fair, and liberal in his dealings, commanding the respect of all who come into contact with him."
