That can fall in with your mood at any minute, cheer, console, entertain, delight, round out an evenings enter tainment, or brighten a day s solitude! A pianola will mai:e your piano sucn a friend. It is not a music box or a machine, but a delicate connecting link between the music in your soul and the voice in your piano. The pleasure of music will all be yours without the drudgery or prac tice, if you have a pianola. Or, if your piano is an old one of cheaper grade, why not exchange it as part payment on a pianola piano. A pianola piano is a step beyond the "separate pianola" idea and costs a little more than the ordinary piano, and a separate pianola, but it combines the features of a piano and a, pianola in one compact case and can be played either by hand or by an inserted per- Ioratea music roil. ou tnus nave two ways of satisfying your scul-craving for mraic, and two ways are better than one. We have on display the best pianola piano, the famous Steck. Its wonder ful sweetness of tone and responsive ness to every whim' of the performer, will delight and surprise you.
