IS YOUR PIANO A FRIEND?
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.
Also on display, is an Aerir.la, the
latest creation in the pianola family.
It is a beautiful instrument cased in
oak and built to fit grands as well as
uprights.
Everything we sell is for cash or a
little at a time as you prefer.
