The supremacy of the Steinway Piano IS un- questioned. Its fame IS spread broadcast all over the globe. Its status wherever music holds sway is that of premier ship.
 Search the annals of the world and no other house in any line can be found that has been dis tinguished by such an ar ray of honors. The Roy, al and Imperial Houses of the Old World have near ly all signally honored the House of Steinway by ap- pointment as Pianoforte Manufacturers to their re- spective courts.
 Such royal appoint ments as H. R. H., the Princess of Wales and the Grand Duke Michael Alovandrowitsch broth CT of the present Czar of Russia) having designat- ed Steinway & Sons by Royal warrants as their official piano manufac- turers.
 Such recognition can be the result of but one thing the International Su- premacy of the ateinway Piano.
 That the Steinway rep resents the highest achievement in piano con- struction ever attained is self-evident.
