neSe pianos are maze WIN unCOmlnO
ials, by long experienced builders, in one of
ped factories in the piano industry. And
while there is high uniformity among
them, yet, as is the case with all pianos,
there is choice as to tone and touch.
1t is thus for the purpose of this most unusual
sale that Mr. c. Alfred Wagner President OF the
Lyrachord Co. personally selected each and everyndl
vidual instrument which will be sold on this cooper
ative plan The tone, the regulation, the voicng of
each and every Of these instruments therefore
be vouched for as being way above the average.
But SO proud are we of this magnificent lot of in
strumentS; in fact SO convinced we that this is
absolutely the test lot of piaros ever sold in this city,
at within One Hundred Dollars Of the price and SO
determined are we that this shall be so, that we
have arranged with Mr.. Nahan Frankie to act as
Secretary of this Sale and to personally test and
inspect every instrument to be offered upon this
cooperative plan.
Mr.. Frankie does not have to be introduced to
you by U.s. Hewas for years Conductor and Concert
meister of the Metropolitan Opera Company and is
at present Conductor of the Nahan
Frankie Orchestra. His ability in music 49,
is thoroughly established reputation
is beyond question, and we feel that We in common
with those who obtain these pianos, are to be
graduated upon having some who is so emnently
fitted to assure us OF the high standard OF these
instruments. Here Mr.. Franko's own words.

so that objection has been net by agreeing to

Sixth. And, finally. the fear OF losing the

been overco me by our proposing to voluntarily
