A STRAIGHT TALK ON PIANO BUYING
I have recently taken the agency for the SC H MOLL ER A MUEL
LER line of high grade pianos for several reasons. They manufacture
the famous line of 3CHMOLLER A MUELLER PIANOS. In addition to
this they handle the 8TEINWAY & SONS, 8TEGER & SONS. EMER
SON, McPHAIL, HARDMAN, MEHLIN and twenty-three other well
known makes. This gives me the agency for all of the best known
and higest grade makes of pianos manufactured. I am now In a posi
tion to suit you, both in quality and price. On my floors today you will
find pianos of different makes ready to be shown to you and ready
for delivery before Christmas.
The buying of a piano at this ti me is of much less import than
formerly. Prices have been reduced to a point where it is quite pos
sible for every family to have one in their home. Music is no longer
considered an accomplishment for the rich, but has become a part of
the curriculum of modern education. The placing of a piano in your
home emphasizes the fact that your family has reached that point of
higher education, higher culture, and is developing a taste for those
things which make life more pleasant and enjoyable. It means that
you can properly entertain your friends when they call, it means that
your family and children will have more of that pleasure out of lift
which is every person's due. The home with music in it is infinitely
more congenial than one in which the sweet sounds of music do not
prevail.
The question is not "Shall I buy a piano" but "What piano is thd
best to purchase." The matter of selecting a piano is of more than or
dinary importance for the reason that the average person buys but one
in a life-time. There is nothing in the home that so conspicuously and
pointedly reflects the taste of its purchaser as the piano
You should buy a SCHMOLLER A MUELLER piano because only the
choicest materials are used in its construction, giving It great solidity.
The cases are beautiful and chaste; they are artistic; all cases are)
double veneered. The woods used In their construction are the most
exquisite to be found and are carefully selected. The finish is the
height of perfection. Every piano before leaving the factory has gone
thru the hands of experts in every department. The carvings are all'
strictly hand work not machine pressed. The metal frame Is of spe
cial design, extra strength, a composite of steel and bell metal. The
pin block, a very important part of the Instrument, Is of eight-ply Ad
irondack hard maple. The sounding board Is made of selected Ver
mont spruce scientifically constructed, The strings are made of the
most expensive imported steel, the renowned "Pohlmann" strings, used
In all strictly high-gade pianos. The action of the SCHMOLLER A
MUELLER PIANO Is the improved double repeating, elastic and re
sponsive. The scale Is the nearest approach to the ideal of perfection.
The tone is full, round, sympathetic and refined. The keys are made
from the first grade of Ivory and will always hold their color.
8CHMOLLER & MUELLER PIANOS are made In different styles and
grades at different prices. They are sold on very easy terms, within
the reach of everyone.
Every SCHMOLLER A MUELLER PIANO is sold with the unre
served twenty-five year guarantee. back every piano I sell with myf
personal guarantee and a reputation for fair and honest dealing In Al
liance for years. You are Invited to call at my music store, 116 West
