Spotted this, while checking on the same page another advert from the travelling German accordion player/tuner/repairer I'm researching. Forres, Elgin and Nairn Gazette of 6 May 1903.

Advert from Campbell's Musical Instrument Makers of Glasgow for "MUSIC IN THE HOUSE, MAKES CHEERFUL HAPPY HOMES". Buy their Gold Medal Melodeons "NO HOME SHOULD BE WITHOUT ONE". "No knowledge of Music required by the player". Prices ranging from 6/9 to 16/6. Praised by "PROFESSOR BROWN, the Champion Melodeon player of Great Britain, Ireland and Wales".
