Your Home Is Incomplete Without a Player Piano On your bookshelves you probably have the world's great authors Thackeray, Hawthorne, Eliot, Dickens, Scott, etc., as well as today's best sellers Locke, Wells, Tarkington, Morris and the rest. There should be in your living room a cabinet filled with Rolls, bearing the names of'other masters the world's masters of music Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Mendelssohn, and also the "best sellers" in music, or the popular hits of the day. In other words, you should have a Player Piano with which you can bring into your home the whole world of music. Without being a pianist or knowing one note of music, with a little practice a Player Piano will enable you to play all the great music masterpieces and, of course, the popular hits of the day. And remember, if the young folks want to dance, you have an inexhaustible repertoire of fox trots, one steps and waltzes. With a Player Piano you and yours will have a new understanding of music you will have a keener appre ciation of its beauties. The Player Piano will broaden and enrich and make happier the lives of every member of your household. We offer the famous Aeolian Company line (makers of the Pianola and Duo Art) in a wide range of prices prices to suit every purpose.
