The polling was noteworthy from the
thousands Of automobiles employed IN

Der of motors at their command. They
were decorated gaudily with flags and

tanned a prestige and reputa

The name Stcinway on a piano has al
ways been synonymous with the highest
artistic ideals.
Similarly, in the field of Piano-players,
the PIANOLA, ever since its introduc-
ton, has held a position Of unquestloned
leadership.
Therefore, the union Of these instru
ments is properly regarded as one OF the
most significant developments that the
musical industry has ever known.
1t has been the steadfast aim Of the
house of Steinway, as handed down from
father to son, to conserve the great rcpu
tation that adheres to the name Of Stein
way, and every detail connected with the
production of it's pianos has been Jeal-
ously guarded against the intrusion of
any element which could possibly be con-
strued as conflicting with the sincerest
ideals of art.
By selecting the PIANOLA as the one
Piano-player worthy of being united with
the Steinway Piano, this distinguished
firm of piano manufacturers once more
justifes the confidence reposed In it by
the musical world

In a Piano-player, the Player is fun
damental. 1t is a serious mistake to Sc
lect an instrument of this style solely on
the reputation Of the piano alone. No
matter how high the standing Of piano,
no matter how excellent its tone, the mo-
ment it becomes inseparably united with
an inferior Player. the value Of the in
stlument as a whole is deprecated. This
is because the Player represents the char
acter Of music produced. Who would
choose to attend a concert given by an in
different amateur when on the same even
ing the great Paderewski plays?
The Messrs. Steinway fully appreciate

most careful and thorough investigation
of the comparative merits Of the various
Piano-players now before the public, in
Guiding those Of European as well as
those Of American manufacture. Just as
they rigidly examine every detail in the
production Of their pianos, so they in
vestigated the Piano player situation at
home and abroad
Their conclusion was that the Plan
OLA, and the PIANOLA alone should
be used in combination with their pianos.
The decision was based not only on the
higher order Of musical and artistic eff
fects for which the PIANOLA is cele-
brated. but also on its constructional SUI
periolity and the better grade Of work
manship and material that it represents.
