The Purchase of a Piano
Is one of the most important factors in furnishing a home, as it is the only one of the
household gods whose voice is continually heard. If it is satisfactory it gives daily
pleasure and comfort, whereas, if not found worthy, it is a constant source of annoy
ance and disappointment. Should the intending purchaser have no' personal experience,
he would naturally have to rely either on the reputation of the dealer or the advice of
his friends when buying. ' Ask any-body which is the best piano, in the world, and
ninety-nine out of a hundred will at once reply the
temway Jriano
But what everybody does .not know ' the positive fact that the percentage of profit
on the sale of a Steiirway piano is less than that or other makes, and hence the Steio-'"
way, notwithstanding its higher jrice, is, after all, the cheapest, as it represents the
greatest intrinsic piano value" for every dollar expended.' If you have an old Steinway
you have a piano with a greater cash value today by 50 to 75 per cent than any other
make. The new models, the Steinway Vertegrand Piano at $575, and the Steinway
Miniature Grand Piano at $850, are the most recent exponents of Steinway genius, and
the public is earnestly requested to examine and try these remarkable instruments be
fore purchasing elsewhere.
