THE WONDERFUL
PIANOLA.
A New Musical InStru.
ment For Playing
the Piano.
Not an Attachment, But an In
strument Complete
In Itself.
Every Owner Of a Piano Will
Want a Pianola.

For many years owners OF pianos
have felt that a great portion OF the
enjoyment that a piano is capable OF
giving was escaping them Once In
year or So perhaps, some highly gifted
musician would play their piano for
them as II should be played. but the
rest OF the time only music Of a COM
paratiyely primitive sort could be heard
from H. For the skill necessary TO
bring out the full power and beauty Of
a piano required a life time OF study
and practice. But now this Is all
changed. With the advent Of the
Planola, you yourself can play every
thing that Paderewski played. and, If
you have meusical temperament you
can play every piece with the most
consumate skill and expression. The
Pianola Is in no sense an automatic
player-you can play, for instance. tho

any other artist whose conception Is
your ideal. The whole secret Of the
Pianola is this instead Of playing with
ten fingers (stlff and unruly fingers,
too) you play with sixty-hye pneumatic
fingers, each one light as a feather and
yet possessing prodiglous striking pow
er. But we are giving Planola exhibit
tons all day long on the main floor OF
our salesrooms Why not step In and
hear and play the Planola? Visitors
are not asked to buy, and we have yet
10 hear OF visitor who did not feel
repaid for a visit Pianolas are not
expensive. They are small and neat in
appearance, and when not in use may
be placed against the wall We sell
them on monthly payments when de-
sired.
