Strong Endorsement For "Behning" Player Pianos The following is reprinted from the "Music Trades, a May 27. Three Dealers Place Behning Players in Their Homes Instnunents Grace Handsome New Residences of J. T. Fitzgerald, W. A. Lippmaa and R. O. Foster. The Behning player-pianos, which have won such remarkable suc cess that the player department has become one of great importance in the company's large and growing business, has received an en dorsement such as seldom comes to an instrument. Three prominent dealers who handle the Behning and are familiar with its qualities selected Behning player-pianos for their new residences, and the three instruments were shipped from the Behning factory last week, the three orders being placed within two weeks. The three dealers, men who are conversant with player-pianos, and whose decision in selecting these instruments is a most sub stantial testimonial to the qualities of the Behning, are J. T. Fitz gerald, of the Fitzgerald Music Co., Los Angeles, Cal.; "W. A. Lipp man, secretary and treasurer of the Jesse French Piano & Organ Co., and B. O. Foster, of Foster & Waldo, Minneapolis. Each of these gentlemen has recently completed a beautiful, new home. Mr. Fitz gerald's is at Los Angeles, Mr. Lippman's is in St. Louis, and Mr. Foster's is at Minnetonka, Minn. In their selections as to styles these dealers showed that with the Behning preference is not restricted to one style. Mr. Fitzgerald ordered a Style 10, the Behning small-sized player, in the art finish Mr Lippman ordered a Mission style player-piano in a special case to match the furniture in the room in which it is to stand, while a Style 24 in mahogany, in the art finish, was Mr. Foster's choice. These dealers all conduct large piano stores and sell many dif ferent makes of player-pianos. Would they have selected the "BEHJCIXG" if it had not been the BEST PLAYER-PIAX0 1 CERTAINLY NOT. Would the judgment of experienced and practical piano men, when selecting for thems elves, have any weight with you in selecting YOUR player Dianof It oueht to and we cordially invite you to call and inspect our players. We are the EXCLUSIVE SELLING AGENTS in Port land for BEHNING PIANOS AND PLAYER-PIANOS and also have several other makes. Soule Brothers 127 Htli StL, Between Washington and Alder. I
