No Better Gift
lip w kMr-mit
Than a Pianola Piano
The object of Christmas giving is to bestow pleasure. The greatest '
provider of pleasure in the home is the Pianola Piano. Its beauty,
its dignity, the wonderful possibilities for musical enjoyment, it of-
. t i s 'fers to everyone, have made it the choice of those who wish to
' 'express more than the ordinary measure of esteem in thjpir giving. .
The Pianola Piano Is tne most popular form of the Pia
nola It Is built Into the Piano Itself, where It Is out of
olaht and out of the way. The keyboard Is always ex
posed and ready for hand playing, yet you are not re
stricted to hand playing. It makes musicians of us all.
You may play the works of the famous masters with
the skill of an artist even though you do not know one
note from another by simply inserting a Pianola roll; '
and still you have the fascination of personally pro
ducing the music. i '
We sell the Pianola Piano on easy monthly payments. You may .;;;';
.':.i ay part. down and th balance. in weekly or monthly installments, f.
or at such' times as you are in receipt of funds. . We are, prepared ;
to make any. reasonable arrangement The ' piano you now have
, will be taken as part payment if you wish. 1
