, . There is but one piano today which .'clings
, , unswervingly to the highest ideals 6( ar
tistic piano construction-rrhut one piano
yhich" has" never sought to enhance its po
vijtion commercially; by the building of
miniature grand pianos to meet the com
petition of low price, nor felt the neces
. sity of installing the piano player in its in
struments in order to maintain the market
a for its product
THE
; PIANO , '
is the one perfect-piano of today the one
piano which meets, unfailingly, every demand,
satisfies the most critical musicians,: arouses
the enthusiastic admiration of the most ex
acting critics; which, by" thV nobility, reso
nance and majestic quality of its tone, is win
ning new admirers, making new converts,
building a home in the hearts of lovers of the
truly artistic, and has created a demand that
is the marvel of the music trades.
Mason & Hamlin Pianos invite severest
comparison, yet recognize no competition. Be
cause they are better made, embodying in their
construction the finest materials obtainable,
and because of their patented features, Mason
& Hamlin Pianos cost more than other pianos ;
yet, so superior is their quality, so perfect their
architecturakdesign, 6o beautiful their finish,
that the additional cost is doubly justified.
The, Mason & Hamlin Piano is the offi
cial piano of the Chicago Grand Opera
Company, which will be heard in Port
land soon.
All styles of Mason & Hamlin Pianos are
shown 'at -our stores and are sold on easy pay
, ments, when desired. ,
