The Weight of-Evidence
The supremacy of the Pianola over all other Players was positively settled when the great
Steinway Piano Company decided that none other but the genuina DUO ART Pianola would be
allowed installed in a STEINWAY Piano.
Everybody who makes a Player will claim his product is the best, but can any other manu
facturer corroborate it? When, however, STEINWAY & SONS puts its seal of supremacy upon the
DUO ART Pianola it should convince not only the unbiased, but also the most skeptical.
We are sole distributors for the DUO ART Pianolas. Our prices are positively the lowest in
; the United States our terms the easiest. ' x '
Remember, the DUO ART Pianola is installed in the STEINVAY, WEBER, GEO. STECK,
WHEELCCK and STROUD Pianos. .
We have them on display 3 well as many other typos '
