TT IS the big things in life that are
always coveted, except when it
- comes to grand pianos. Then the
tendency is to procure the smallest
size possible, and in gratifying this
desire, bad judgment is often shown,
for a Grand under feet 6 inches
long has not as much volume as an
Upright, and consequently lacks the
very quality for which it is bought.
At N. Stetson & Co., iii Chestnut
Street, there are six sizes of the
peerless Steinway Grands, including
the Miniature" the smallest real
Grand piano made. Created to meet
the demand for a Grand suitable for
apartments, it combines economy of.
space and of price. Those are the
only economies, however. which enter
into its composition, for in every de-
tail it is perfect example of the best
piano in the world-the Steinway.
