Is the fact that every instrument Is
positively the highest grade in its
class made especially to 50 on
exhibition and for critical examina-
ton by expert manufacturers, deal
ers and musicians from all parts of
the United States these Pianos
have received extraordinary atten-
ton during each and every process
of manufacture, and therefore rep
resent the very highest type of the
artists and artisans handiwork.
The collection of these choice
Pianos from the various factory ex-
hibits in our salesrooms present an
excellent opportunity for an init
mate personal examination, and
this interesting and unique display
will. we promise you, prove both
pleasant and Profitable.
