FIRST S|GLER PIANO
PLAYER COMPLETED
New Harrisburg Industry Will
Be Success in Opinion
Of Experts

c. M. Sigler to-day placed the first
Sigler piano player on exhibition in his
store rooms in North Second street. In
the opinion of local musical authori-
. ties and several mechanical experts
who saw the instrument and heard it's
work, the Sigler house has carved
lasting step in the worlds ladder of
musical progress.
Nothing quite like the Sigler player
has ever been invented in any part
of Europe or the United States, it is
said. When not in use the player Is
absolutely invisible and the piano in
which the action may be installed ap-
pears exactly like any ordinary instru-
ment. The player can be placed in
any instrument at a price that makes
the action of great economic value in
the musical trade. The action is nearly
/ fool proof" few parts of the mechan-
ism being placed where people can
try to change or readjust 1t, as is the
case in many player pianos. The ac-
tion can be placed in any piano that
a customer may have in the home
which he wants to convert into me-
chalical instrument. The sample ac-
ton was installed in one of the very
smallest sized pianos, proving that 1t
for the trade. Already Mr.. Sigler un-
nounces the receipt of several orders
for the new plan player and his fac
tory force of fifteen men will be kept
at full working time from to-day on.
The player is the invention of c. M.
Bard, head of the Sigler house me-
chancai department. The Sigler fac
tory Is located at 426-42S Market
