THIS is <strong>the</strong> seventieth edition <strong>of</strong> our Catalogue <strong>of</strong> Musical Instruments. ^ This is <strong>the</strong> fifty-fourth year <strong>of</strong> our wide experience in <strong>the</strong> malting and handling <strong>of</strong> Musical Instru.<br />

ments <strong>of</strong> every description. § It finds us with facilities and equipment unexcelled by any in <strong>the</strong> world. q It finds us with a volume <strong>of</strong> business second to none in <strong>the</strong><br />

world. ^ It finds us with a reputation in Musical Circles for making <strong>of</strong> instruments <strong>of</strong> perfect musical quality and selling at <strong>the</strong> lowest prices. Q The remarkable success<br />

we have achieved in our business experience <strong>of</strong> over half a century, has been due solely to conscientious painstaking effort and an earnest and unfaltering determin.<br />

ation to produce instruments that could not be excelled in any respect by those <strong>of</strong> any o<strong>the</strong>r maker. Q We have exhausted every possible means and made every possible<br />

experiment to better <strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> our products and to increase <strong>the</strong>ir efficiency. ^ In every business transaction we have been guided by an unwavering purpose to make every cus><br />

tomer a pleased and satisfied customer, q To <strong>the</strong> combination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se facts we owe our present high position in our line <strong>of</strong> business. ^ This is <strong>the</strong> most complete Catalog <strong>of</strong> Musi,<br />

cal Instruments and Trimmings ever presented to <strong>the</strong> public, q We invite your careful consideration <strong>of</strong> its contents, fl The fact that <strong>the</strong> United States Government, which always<br />

demands <strong>the</strong> best <strong>of</strong> everything is a heavy purchaser <strong>of</strong> our instrments, is a significant one. ^ If <strong>the</strong>y were not <strong>the</strong> best that could be found it is certain that <strong>the</strong> United<br />

States Government would not consider <strong>the</strong>m for a moment ^ We prove <strong>the</strong> superiority <strong>of</strong> our goods by sending <strong>the</strong>m subject to six days' examination. Should any <strong>of</strong> our<br />

instruments fail in any manner to come up to our claims, we stand ready to make it satisfactory or refund your money. We have also arranged a plan for selling instruments<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> $15 and up on monthly installments, regardless <strong>of</strong> where our customers are located. The plan is explained below.<br />

OUR RELIABILITY.—We have had a successful business career <strong>of</strong> fifty-four years, and own <strong>the</strong> ground and buildings <strong>of</strong><br />

our factories, warehouses and salesbuildings as well as <strong>the</strong> goods contained <strong>the</strong>rein. To those unacquainted with us, and our<br />

ability and willingness to perform our contracts, we refer to any bank in Cincinnati or Chicago, or to Dun's cr Bradstreet's Commercial<br />

Agencies. Always enclose stamps for reply when writing to anyone for reference.<br />

FREE TRIAL.—On single instruments, we allow from 1 to 6 days free trial; on sets <strong>of</strong> band instruments, 10 days. Our<br />

customers have <strong>the</strong> privilege <strong>of</strong> returning any Unsatisfactory instruments within <strong>the</strong> time allowed for free trial and we will<br />

cheerfully refund <strong>the</strong>ir money. This <strong>of</strong>fer is made, not because we are accustomed to having our instruments prove unsatisfactory<br />

(suchinstances are exceedingly rare), but to provide every safeguard for our patrons who order by mail.<br />

You are thus made safer in your purchase than if you called at our warerooms in person, for in that case you would rely<br />

solely on your own judgment. Now you have a musical expert to test and select <strong>the</strong> best possible instrument from our large<br />

stock and this must please you also in every way. Naturally, it is a matter <strong>of</strong> pride as well as economy with our experienced<br />

order fillers to havcevery instrument <strong>the</strong>y select please <strong>the</strong> customer;<br />

TIME PAYMENTS.—On single orders amounting to $15 or more, we will allow easy monthly payments. The size <strong>of</strong> such<br />

payments will depend upon <strong>the</strong> total amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> purchase and <strong>the</strong> sum paid in cash, but our requirements are always most<br />

reasonable and will suit any purse. In case you wish to purchase by <strong>the</strong> monthly payment plan, it is best to fill out and mail<br />

<strong>the</strong> blank headed, "CONFIDENTIAL", which is enclosed with this catalog. Credit arrangements can be promptly arranged.<br />

OUR PRICES.—All prices given in this catalog are guaranteed. We are manufacturers and direct importers. You buy<br />

direct when you buy from us.<br />

FREE BOXING.—We pack all instruments in best manner in order to secure safe shipment and lowest rates, and deliver <strong>the</strong><br />

package or box to any express or railroad company in Cincinnati or Chicago.<br />

HOW TO SEND MONEY.—Remit by Post Office Money Order; Express Money Order; Bank Draft on Cincinnati or New<br />

York, Chicago, St. Louis, or I^ouisville; Registered Letter or Stamps. We accept postage stamps for any amount—but stamps<br />

must not be torn, and should be put between oiled or paraffine paper. Your postmaster will give you <strong>the</strong> paper, which he<br />

receives from <strong>the</strong> government between sheets <strong>of</strong> stamps<br />

TO INSURE SAFETY.—Always register a letter containing money.<br />

MAIL SHIPMENTS.—Cash must accompany order and sufficient money for postage when goods are to be sent by mail.<br />

POSTAGE on goods by mail is one cent an ounce, or sixteen cents a pound. No one package weighing more than four<br />

pounds can be sent by mail.<br />

rates: Packages valued at $5.00 or less, 5 cents each; packages valued at from $5.00 to $10.00, 10 cents each; for each additional<br />

$5.00, 5 cents extra. Be sure to send additional money if you wish package insured.<br />

NEVER RETURN GOODS BY EXPRESS when <strong>the</strong> weight is more than twenty-five pounds, as it is cheaper to send by<br />

freight. Always mention <strong>the</strong> invoice number in returning goods.<br />

ADVANTAGE OF SENDING FULL AMOUNT WITH ORDER.—We guarantee to refund money in all cases where goods are<br />

not satisfactory. We always charge you <strong>the</strong> lowest price for goods, and we will return any balance that is due you if you send<br />

too much money. You save collection charges and charges for return <strong>of</strong> money when you send full amount with order. It lies<br />

entirely with our customers whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y pay all or only part cash. We only wish to point out <strong>the</strong> advantages <strong>of</strong> both plans.<br />

OLD INSTRUMENTS TAKEN IN TRADE.—We receive thousands <strong>of</strong> letters asking us if we take old instruments in trade<br />

and how much we allow. We are always willing to take old band instruments and violins in trade as part pay on any new instruments,<br />

or music <strong>of</strong> our own publication, and will allow all <strong>the</strong>y are worth. We can not, however, determine <strong>the</strong>ir value<br />

without seeing <strong>the</strong> instruments; <strong>the</strong>refore, if you have an old instrument you wish to trade in, send it to us by express or freight<br />

Uuitar, Lornet, Baritone, Tenor, Alto, Valve Trombone, Mellophone, B Flat<br />

Bass and Euphonium sold by us, a Certificate <strong>of</strong> Free Scholarship. This<br />

entitles <strong>the</strong> purchaser to a thorough course <strong>of</strong> instruction upon his instrument,<br />

by <strong>the</strong> University Extension Method, under teachers <strong>of</strong> national reputation,<br />

given through <strong>the</strong> Siegel-Myers School <strong>of</strong> Music, Steinway Hall, Chicago.<br />

The lessons are absolutely free; <strong>the</strong> pupil pays <strong>the</strong> school merely a nominal<br />

sum to defray <strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> stationary used in <strong>the</strong> examinations, extra<br />

music, postage, studies, etc., which we guarantee not to exceed 12}4 cents per<br />

lesson, payable $1.00 every two months. The cost <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> actual instruction<br />

is charged to us, and you are at liberty to discontinue <strong>the</strong> payments and lessons<br />

at any time. We have made this arrangement in order that no one<br />

who wishes to purchase an instrument need hesitate on account <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> impossibility<br />

<strong>of</strong> learning to play. By this arrangement it is now possible for<br />

you to learn to play <strong>the</strong> instrument <strong>of</strong> your choice whe<strong>the</strong>r you have teachers<br />

near you or not. Whe<strong>the</strong>r you are a beginner or an advanced player, this<br />

your instrument from <strong>the</strong> very beginning, including <strong>the</strong> rudiments <strong>of</strong> music,<br />

reading by note, technic, tone-production and expression.<br />

We are always on <strong>the</strong> lookout for opportunities to give our customers<br />

<strong>the</strong> very best value for <strong>the</strong>ir mone)'. We have for some time given an instruction<br />

book with every instrument we sell, but we have something better<br />

to <strong>of</strong>fer now. An instruction book is valuable as far as it goes, but it is<br />

greatly to your advantage to take a thorough course <strong>of</strong> lessons upon <strong>the</strong><br />

instrument which you buy, under <strong>the</strong> personal direction <strong>of</strong> a great teacher,<br />

who can help you to learn to play correctly and well.<br />

We have succeeded in arranging this for you. The Siegel-Myers School<br />

will give you, as a customer <strong>of</strong> ours, free instruction on <strong>the</strong> instrument you<br />

buy. When difficulties arise, <strong>the</strong>se teachers will be glad to send you helpful<br />

suggestions as to <strong>the</strong> best methods <strong>of</strong> overcoming <strong>the</strong>m; so we advise every<br />

one <strong>of</strong> our customers to avail <strong>the</strong>mselves <strong>of</strong> this privilege which we have<br />

obtained for <strong>the</strong>m.<br />

This is quite an unusual <strong>of</strong>fer, <strong>the</strong> advantages <strong>of</strong> which will be appreciated<br />

by thousands <strong>of</strong> young men and women who are desirous <strong>of</strong> learning<br />

to play, but who are prevented from doing so through lack <strong>of</strong> competent<br />

.teachers, etc. Under <strong>the</strong> University Extension system, which is now so successfully<br />

used in almost every branch <strong>of</strong> study, <strong>the</strong> actual cost <strong>of</strong> a musical<br />

education is reduced to almost nothing, and is brought within <strong>the</strong> reach <strong>of</strong><br />

every one in this country. The Siegel-Myers School <strong>of</strong> Music is <strong>the</strong> only institution<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kind we can thoroughly recommend. Their course covers <strong>the</strong><br />

highest branches <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> art, and every detail, from <strong>the</strong> first to <strong>the</strong> last lesson,<br />

is carefully carried out by photographic illustrations, simple instruction and<br />

weekly examinations.<br />

THE WURLITZER ORCHESTRAL HARP<br />

The Wurlitzer Orchestral Harp combines <strong>the</strong> strongest features <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

best European instruments with a number <strong>of</strong> improvements which modern<br />

skill and research have made possible.<br />

Although <strong>the</strong> harp is <strong>the</strong> oldest <strong>of</strong> musical instruments, many years<br />

passed before any decided improvements were made in its construction.<br />

This was largely because <strong>the</strong> manufacture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> harp has been con­<br />

fined principally to private makers, or to manufacturers who produced <strong>the</strong><br />

instrument on a small scale only, and <strong>the</strong>se did not have <strong>the</strong> time or means<br />

to devote to <strong>the</strong> experimental work necessary for improvement.<br />

We entered <strong>the</strong> harp field bfecause we were convinced that <strong>the</strong> harp<br />

was regaining much <strong>of</strong> its olden time prestige and realized that <strong>the</strong>re would<br />

be a worldwide demand for a harp that would embody progressive modern<br />

ideas and surpass <strong>the</strong> old style instruments, as <strong>the</strong> modern piano <strong>of</strong> today<br />

eclipses that <strong>of</strong> several generations past.<br />

We have been entirely successful in producing <strong>the</strong> most artistic harp<br />

<strong>the</strong> world has ever seen. In doing so we have followed <strong>the</strong> general plan <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> immortal Errard, with such changes and improvements as experience<br />

and modern methods make possible. These are fully described and illus­<br />

trated in <strong>the</strong> latest edition <strong>of</strong> our beautiful Art Catalog on <strong>the</strong> harp, which<br />

is mailed free upon request.<br />

How We Reduced <strong>the</strong> Cost <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Harp<br />

It was conceded some years ago upon <strong>the</strong> widespread revival <strong>of</strong> interest small scale and turned out a few harps only. Therefore, we went into <strong>the</strong><br />

in <strong>the</strong> harp, that <strong>the</strong> only obstacle in <strong>the</strong> way <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> instrument's enjoying harp business on a large scale, selling at wholesale and retail through our<br />

popularity that would rival that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> piano was its price. It was considered system <strong>of</strong> warerooms located at Cincinnati, Chicago and New York. With<br />

high for <strong>the</strong> average purchaser, although it was strictly in proportion to our increased production has come a decrease in <strong>the</strong> manufacturing cost,<br />

<strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> its production. which has enabled us to <strong>of</strong>fer <strong>the</strong> Wurlitzer Orchestral Harp at a much<br />

The reason for this was that harp manufacturers operated on „ very lower price than that <strong>of</strong> any o<strong>the</strong>r first-class harp.<br />

Wurlitzer Improvements and Special Features<br />

We give below brief mention <strong>of</strong> improvements and special features <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Wurlitzer Orchestral Harp. These are fully described and illustrated<br />

in cfur new harp catalog.<br />

The Solid Column: An exclusive Wurlitzer improvement, which pro­<br />

vides a separate groove or runway for each pedal rod, an immense advantage<br />

over <strong>the</strong> hollow column, having <strong>the</strong> pedal rods massed in <strong>the</strong> center, causing<br />

<strong>the</strong>m to rub, wear and bind.<br />

The Improved Fork Disc: .A highly improved disc with sharping and<br />

flatting fingers, combined with a cone and pivot-bearing spindle, wh'ch cannot<br />

work loose or cause a. rattle.<br />

The Double Re-enforced Base: An improvement which effectually<br />

prevents a breakage at <strong>the</strong> point where <strong>the</strong> body <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> harp meets <strong>the</strong> harp<br />

column.<br />

An Improved Pedal Box: A tongue-and-groove fastening aiyrangement<br />

between <strong>the</strong> pedal box and base, which holds <strong>the</strong> pedal box in true position<br />

so as to prevent <strong>the</strong> warping <strong>of</strong> ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> pedal box or <strong>the</strong> base.<br />

Easy to Regulate: The opening on <strong>the</strong> bottom <strong>of</strong> our harp is twice as<br />

large as on o<strong>the</strong>r harps, so that it can be regulated simply by turning <strong>the</strong><br />

harp up-side down, while o<strong>the</strong>rwise it is necessary to take <strong>the</strong> pedal box <strong>of</strong>f.<br />

Improved Method <strong>of</strong> Stringing: Troublesome bridge pins are done<br />

away with, a new plan being introduced whereby <strong>the</strong> harp strings are in­<br />

serted through celluloid eyelets.<br />

Swell D«ors Discarded: Old fashioned swell dour-, for regulating<br />

<strong>the</strong> tone volume are discarded, and a much more practical and successful<br />

metbru! utilized.<br />

Adjustable String Nuts: .All string nuts are made adjustable. If<br />

through climatic conditions any string should be out <strong>of</strong> tune, same may be<br />

leng<strong>the</strong>ned if too sharp or shortened if too flat, simply by loosening <strong>the</strong><br />

string nuts.<br />

Interchangeable Repair Parts: All mechanical parts are interchange­<br />

able and an exact duplicate may be had by writing us. All screws are right-<br />

hand standard thread, and can be secured from any local hardware dealer.<br />

Double Action Only: The Wurlitzer Orchestral Harp is made in double<br />

action only.<br />

Light Weight: The Wurlitzer Orchestral Harp is from 15 to :!0 lbs.<br />

lighter than o<strong>the</strong>r harps; a very great advantage in carrying it around.<br />

The above is only ^ brief outline <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> special improvements<br />

exhibited in <strong>the</strong> Wurlitzer Orchestral Harp. .Anyone, who is interested in<br />

<strong>the</strong> harp question, should write for a copy <strong>of</strong> our new -\rt Catalog on <strong>the</strong><br />

Harp.<br />

Second=hand Harps: We are constantly receiving second-hand foreign-<br />

made harps (both single and double action) in exchange toward new Wur­<br />

litzer Harps. We <strong>of</strong>fer <strong>the</strong>se for sale at very low prices, representing only<br />

<strong>the</strong> amount allowed in trade with actual cost <strong>of</strong> repairs added.<br />

The list <strong>of</strong> second-hand stock is changing constantly and it is advisable<br />

to write us for <strong>the</strong> latest revised list.<br />

Harp Repairs: We make a specialty <strong>of</strong> repairing and renovating harps<br />

<strong>of</strong> all makes in our large harp repair department. Here we have facilities<br />

for executing all repair work in <strong>the</strong> quickest and most skillful manner.<br />

Charges are very reasonable.

The Artists' Symphony Band Instruments<br />

Labor Crowned by Success! Have no Equal! The Best in <strong>the</strong> World!<br />

Competition Defied!<br />

Have been improved from year to year until <strong>the</strong>y have reached that stage <strong>of</strong> perfection where we can, without any hesitancy, recommend <strong>the</strong>m<br />

to <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional musician as <strong>the</strong> best Band instruments that money and skill can produce. They are now used and endorsed by those musicians who<br />

want a fine Solo Instrument, one that <strong>the</strong>y can use in both Band and Orchestra. We manufacture a complete line <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> "Symphony" Band Instruments<br />

in both high and low pitch. The material used in <strong>the</strong> manufacture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>.se instruments is brass especially prepared by a secret process which gives<br />

<strong>the</strong>m that full, sonorous tone so much desired. The "Improved Symphony" Cornet is a model <strong>of</strong> beauty, has instantaneous changes from Bb to A, has<br />

both high and low pitch slides, and possesses every essential feature which goes to make up a Cornet <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> highest quality. The price <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> "Symphony"<br />

Cornet includes a fine lea<strong>the</strong>r-covered, plush-lined satchel. The "Symphony" Slide Trombone is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> few instruments that meets<br />

every requirement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> solo trombonist, namely, correct register, true ni all positions, and perfect working shdes. This trombone is built upon scientific<br />

principles and is remarkably easy to play. All "Symphony" Band Instruments are built with a view <strong>of</strong> producing <strong>the</strong> best results, and we feel<br />

that we can safely recommend <strong>the</strong> entire line.<br />

Having used your monster Symphony BBb Helicon<br />

for <strong>the</strong> past year I cannot but give your Helicon<br />

<strong>the</strong> preference over all o<strong>the</strong>r makes. I find it a<br />

beautiful instrument, in perfect tune in all keys, and<br />

easy to blow; in fact, more than satisfactory in<br />

every respect. Any one wishing a good instrument<br />

will do well to try <strong>the</strong> Symphony before buying any<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r make. Yours truly,<br />

RUDOLPH WURLITZER, Cincinnati, Ohio.<br />

Messrs:—My fa<strong>the</strong>r purchased an expensive cornet for me<br />

from an Indiana firm when I was six years old, which I used<br />

for eight years, but it remained for <strong>the</strong> Symphony^ purchased<br />

from you less than two years ago, to make it possible for me<br />

to rank as a cornetist <strong>of</strong> move than ordinary ability.<br />

During my ten years <strong>of</strong> study and business playing I have<br />

had <strong>the</strong> pleasure <strong>of</strong> trying many leading cornets, but for purity<br />

and dependableness <strong>of</strong> tone in all its registers "The Wurhtzei"<br />

Symphony" is without an equal.<br />

The whole story can be briefly told by saying, "Least effort<br />

and most satisfying results."<br />

I shall never lose an opportunity to boost for <strong>the</strong> "Symphony."<br />

Yours truly,<br />

EVA M. ROUP.<br />

Master Harry Kahn, age 12, <strong>the</strong> youngest<br />

and greatest cornetist in <strong>the</strong><br />

wqrid, uses and Indorses <strong>the</strong> "Improved"<br />

Symphony Cornet. Read<br />

his letter:<br />

THE RUDOLPH WURLITZER CO.:<br />

Gentlemen—I take pleasure in informing<br />

you that <strong>the</strong> "Symphony" Cornet I<br />

have is giving excellent satisfaction, and<br />

that I made a big hit wherever I appeared.<br />

At Wiesbaden, Frankfurt, Muencbcn<br />

and o<strong>the</strong>r Eurnpcan cities, I played<br />

with <strong>the</strong> largest military bands_ and <strong>the</strong><br />

"Symphony" Cornet was admired and<br />

praised by all. J take pleasure in recommending<br />

<strong>the</strong> ^'Symphony" Cornet to<br />

every soloist.<br />

Yours faithfully,<br />

HARRY KAHN.

Dear Sirs—^The cornet came last week. I am well<br />

satisfied with same. It is "all that 1 expect, and <strong>the</strong>n<br />

some." Very truly,<br />

Dear Sirs—I received cornet, and I am highly pleased<br />

with it. I am also pleased with <strong>the</strong> generous allowance<br />

you gave me for my old cornet.<br />

Yours truly,<br />

GEORGE HOLDRIDGE.<br />

THE RUDOLPH WURLITZER Co., Cincinnati.<br />

I received <strong>the</strong> trombone. 1 am very much pleased<br />

with it. It has a fine singing tone—I like to hear an<br />

instrument sing. In my twenty years' experience in<br />

band instruments counts a little. I have owned a_ "B"<br />

slide trombone, but yours, costing less than half, is its<br />

superior in tonal quality; and later on I shall go higher<br />

and get one <strong>of</strong> your highest grade valve trombones.<br />

Count on me for it. F. W. ROWLAND.<br />

The E-sharp bass I received <strong>of</strong> you through L. W.<br />

Felder, <strong>of</strong> Fulton, has been giving <strong>the</strong> very highest <strong>of</strong><br />

satisfaction. I have used it some for solo playing, with<br />

piano accompaniment, and find it true in tone and <strong>of</strong><br />

very good volume for band playing. Shall look to yon<br />

for future needs. Yours very truly,<br />

THE RUDOLPH WURLITZER CO., Cincinnati.<br />

Dear Friends—Our instruments reached us Saturday,<br />

and we met Saturday ni^t. I gave <strong>the</strong>m all a trial.<br />

They are all up-to-date. They are just what I ordered.<br />

We thank you so much for your terms you have given<br />

us and_ your fair dealing. The instruments are just what<br />

you said <strong>the</strong>y were, and every man in <strong>the</strong> band is well<br />

satisfied and would not tal'e twice what <strong>the</strong>y gave for<br />

<strong>the</strong>m. Everything is all rirht.<br />

Yours truly,<br />

BEST LOW-PRICED INSTRUMENTS ON THE MARKET<br />

"Pr<strong>of</strong>essionaP' Band Instruments, Grade D<br />

Although Low in Price, We Stand Ready to Guarantee Them Perfect in Tone, Quality, Material and Valve Action.<br />

This grade is French light piston throughout, and is <strong>the</strong> cheapest grade <strong>of</strong> light piston instruments we carry, although <strong>the</strong>y are<br />

far superior to any instrument made that sells for <strong>the</strong> same figure or anywhere near it. In fact <strong>the</strong>y are exceptionally fine in quality,<br />

price taken into consideration. The models are <strong>the</strong> latest, action very easy, etc. In fact we are so well assured <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir superiority<br />

over o<strong>the</strong>r instruments, claimed to be equal in quality by o<strong>the</strong>rs, that we are anxious to send <strong>the</strong>m out in competition. This grade<br />

is mainly used by beginners and those who have had from one to two years' experience.<br />

Dear Sirs—The cornet came to hand today for Dr. Ellis, and am pleased with<br />

Special Band Instruments in C and Bb<br />

The "Ballad Horn" is a great favorite in church and parlor owing to its sweet and mellow tone.<br />

necessary. The same can be said <strong>of</strong> it in parlor use. Each instrument is complete in C, Bb and<br />

Perfection Concert Horn, Grade B.<br />

This Horn is built in F with Eb, D and C Slides.<br />

Music Rack, German Silver Mouthpiece and German Silver Light Action Piston Valves.<br />

This is <strong>the</strong> instrument that is now creating such c furore among <strong>the</strong> Bandmen <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United<br />

States. It is in construction very similar to <strong>the</strong> "French Horn," and produces a tone which has<br />

<strong>the</strong> desired effect, that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> French Horn. Every band should have at least two French Horns,<br />

but owing to <strong>the</strong> diflSculty in learning <strong>the</strong> instrument, very few were used; but now we come to<br />

your relief with <strong>the</strong> Concert Horn, which any alto player can handle in a short time with remarkable<br />

success. They are <strong>the</strong> most remarkable instruments <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> century and have come to stay.<br />

The Octavin.<br />

A Novelty as Well as a Solo<br />

Instrument.<br />

Full Instructions Given Each<br />

Instrument.<br />

The Octavin is an entirely new instrument<br />

and has a tone between that <strong>of</strong> a Saxophone and<br />

a Clarionet. Can be used in both military band<br />

and orchestra with telling effect. It is a novelty<br />

as well, as a legitimate Solo Instrument. The<br />

fingering is <strong>the</strong> same as that <strong>of</strong> a Clarionet, so<br />

that a clarionet or Oboe player can manipulate<br />

it at once, without any extra or special study.<br />

It has a register <strong>of</strong> three octaves from low G<br />

sharp to high G.<br />

Mr. Merltz Max Monntg In his workshop.<br />

The .name Moennig stands out among <strong>the</strong> manufacturers <strong>of</strong> flutes like a brilliant star, unsurpassed, so far,<br />

by any o<strong>the</strong>r maker, ei<strong>the</strong>r past or present. The Moennig Flute is that among flutes what <strong>the</strong> Steinway is among<br />

<strong>the</strong> Pianos—it is perfection as far as perfection is possible. This statement is emphasized by <strong>the</strong> recognition <strong>of</strong><br />

celebrities who have tried <strong>the</strong> Moennig Flutes and whose opinion is expressed in <strong>the</strong> accompanying testimonials.<br />

Mr. Moritz Max Moennig, whose picture appears at <strong>the</strong> head, <strong>of</strong> this article, is one <strong>of</strong> those well-known<br />

thrifty Germans who, with indomitable will and courage have faced, opposition on every hand, but who have<br />

overcome all obstacles placed in <strong>the</strong>ir road by ill-willed enemies, to finally triumph through mere perseverance<br />

and "surviving <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fittest." He is a good example <strong>of</strong> that German thoroughness, which will spare no fair<br />

means to reach its goal, and he has turned out a credit, not only to his community, but to his trade as well.<br />

Mr. Moennig comes from a family <strong>of</strong> flute makers; his fa<strong>the</strong>r, before him, and also his grandfa<strong>the</strong>r, were<br />

well and favorably known for <strong>the</strong>ir ability in <strong>the</strong> construction <strong>of</strong> flutes, and it is small wonder that <strong>the</strong> son<br />

should, to-day, be at <strong>the</strong> head <strong>of</strong> his pr<strong>of</strong>ession. He was barely old enough to go to school when he used to<br />

romp about his fa<strong>the</strong>r's workshop, and what <strong>the</strong> young child <strong>the</strong>n looked upon in idle curiosity, was to ripen in<br />

his mind in later years, to finally be realized by <strong>the</strong> great improvements -Which distinguish Mr. Moennig's flutes<br />

from those <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r makers. We dare say that his ability for making <strong>the</strong>se instruments was partly inherited,<br />

for his flutes to-day are merely a perfectii;n <strong>of</strong> what he saw in his fa<strong>the</strong>r's workshop many years ago.<br />

As <strong>the</strong> song <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> nightingale compares with that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mocking bird, so does <strong>the</strong> Moennig Flute compare<br />

with o<strong>the</strong>r makes; <strong>the</strong> one is a source <strong>of</strong> beauty and admiration, <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r a poor eff^ort to imitate perfection.<br />

When we make <strong>the</strong> above comparison wc are convinced that every true musician will agree with us after<br />

having examined <strong>the</strong> instrument to which this article is devoted.<br />

The Moennig Flutes are made <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> best materialthat can be obtained for <strong>the</strong> purpose- The body is made<br />

from Gienadilla wood, 15 to 20 years old, and is so thoroughly seasoned that cracking or splitting, so <strong>of</strong>ten <strong>the</strong><br />

ruin <strong>of</strong> a high-grade instrument, is practically an impossibility.<br />

Each part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> instrument is made with <strong>the</strong> almost loving care <strong>of</strong> an artist; <strong>the</strong> keys and springs are<br />

forged by hand, and <strong>the</strong> master's skill is shown in <strong>the</strong> perfection <strong>of</strong> even <strong>the</strong> minutest detail. The action <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

keys is a revelation and a pleasure to <strong>the</strong> most exacting musician. The tone <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> flutes is sweet and yet<br />

powerful; <strong>the</strong> highest as well as <strong>the</strong> lowest notes can be played with perfect ease, so essential to <strong>the</strong> proper rendition<br />

<strong>of</strong> any music.<br />

The instruments are furnished in low pitch only, with ei<strong>the</strong>r open or^ closed G sharp key. They are made<br />

in two diff^erent styles, i. e., with what is called Argenta Silver or with Sterling Silver keys.<br />

I The Argenta Silver is an alloy <strong>of</strong> recent discovery which, being a mixture <strong>of</strong> German Silver and Sterling<br />

Silver, produces a perfectly white metal, almost <strong>the</strong> color <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> real article. It is far superior to <strong>the</strong> German<br />

Silver with which o<strong>the</strong>r flutes are generally furnished and ought to prove a great pleasure to all those who do<br />

not care or cannot afford to buy <strong>the</strong> solid silver kevs.<br />

The Sterling Silver used in <strong>the</strong> Moennig Flutes is 925-1000 fine, as fine as can practically be used for<br />

manufacturing purposes.<br />

Each flute is marked with a stamp, bearing <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> Moritz Max Moennig, without which none is<br />

genuine.<br />

The instruments are furnished in handsome lea<strong>the</strong>r cases, lined with silk plush, bearing <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

B 10546V4 This handsome and capable drum .^ <strong>of</strong><br />

choice birds-eye maple throughout, veneered upon a solid<br />

band <strong>of</strong> old rock maple, both shell and strainer hoops.<br />

The equipment is <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> very best throughout, <strong>the</strong> fleshhoops,<br />

<strong>the</strong> modern quarter-round style, which hold <strong>the</strong><br />

head tighter than <strong>the</strong> old square kind and at <strong>the</strong> same<br />

time do not run <strong>the</strong> risk <strong>of</strong> cutting through. This drum<br />

has 12 double acting rods, so that ei<strong>the</strong>r head can be<br />

fastened independently <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r. The center eyelet<br />

support is machine-turned, and has 1 very heavy base<br />

which prevents damage to <strong>the</strong> shell <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> drum, and<br />

fur<strong>the</strong>rmore it is screwed from <strong>the</strong> inside in <strong>the</strong> same<br />

manner as <strong>the</strong> best banjo bracket. The snare strainer is<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new approved long model with Banjo socket and<br />

cirrier, which style is also used for <strong>the</strong> belt hook. The<br />

thumb-rod <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> snare strainer is made in a very substantial<br />

and yet good-looking way. so that all <strong>the</strong> attachments<br />

on <strong>the</strong> drum taken toge<strong>the</strong>r, being <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> highest<br />

quality material, finely nickeled and burnished, give an<br />

added touch <strong>of</strong> grace and strength to <strong>the</strong> whole looks <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> drum. The snares on this drum are <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> finest quality<br />

woven material, chemically treated so as to be entirely<br />

water-pro<strong>of</strong>, which makes <strong>the</strong>m bright and snappy even<br />

in <strong>the</strong> worst wea<strong>the</strong>r. The heads are first quality Angora,<br />

and are remarkable for strength, eveness throughout, and<br />

also for <strong>the</strong>ir great tone quality, making <strong>the</strong> drum capable<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> smallest Pianissimo or <strong>the</strong> heaviest Fortissimo without<br />

undue labor on <strong>the</strong> part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> performer. Pr<strong>of</strong>essionals<br />

in need <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> very highest grade <strong>of</strong> drum for<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir most exacting work, will find this instrument to<br />

measure up fully to all <strong>the</strong>ir requirements, and we are<br />

confident will stand up unaer any test. A pair <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

ebony sticks, given free with each drum.<br />

Price $38.80<br />

B iOSOiVz This Single-head Snare Drum, is particularly<br />

adapted to inside work, such as dances, nickel<br />

shows, <strong>the</strong>atre work, small orchestra concerts, minstrel<br />

shows, etc. It is bright, snappy and sharp to a degree not<br />

attainable in o<strong>the</strong>r styles <strong>of</strong> single-head drums, and is<br />

strong and durable certainly beyond anything <strong>of</strong> its kind.<br />

It is made in solid quarter-sawed oak only, strainer hoop<br />

and shell veneered upon first quality old rock maple,<br />

wonderful for strength and resistance. It has 12 thumbrods,<br />

<strong>of</strong> a strong, heavy pattern, with wide inside flange<br />

so acceptable to <strong>the</strong> drummers who need something that<br />

will stand up under a heavy strain. Each rod is carried<br />

through a heavy support, bolted from <strong>the</strong> inside, and<br />

through which <strong>the</strong> thumb-rods go to meet <strong>the</strong> socket.<br />

THE RUDLOPH WURLITZER CO., CINCINNATI, O.<br />

The Wurlitzer Violin Department<br />

There is no branch <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Wurlitzer business in which <strong>the</strong> house takes more pride than <strong>the</strong> Violin Department.<br />

Our experience <strong>of</strong> more than half a century in <strong>the</strong> manufacture, importation and sale <strong>of</strong> Violins has resulted in our undis­<br />

puted leadership in this field. We sell more than 20,000 violins annually<br />

From our extensive and varied lines, we guarantee to suit every customer's taste, as to make, model, wood, age, tone, resonance,<br />

color and trimming. No o<strong>the</strong>r house pretends to have so complete and varied a line and certainly none can successfully compete<br />

with us on price.<br />

Musical quality is everything in a violin. Without it none is worth having. The violin buyer is far more likely to get satis­<br />

faction in his purchase from almost any musical firm than from a general supply house that knows nothing <strong>of</strong> music, and cares less.<br />

All our violins have this feature <strong>of</strong> musical quality in a marked degree—<strong>the</strong> utmost possible at <strong>the</strong> price. Each and every<br />

one is designed to improve with age and usage. Our line from start to finish represents <strong>the</strong> pick <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world's market, which was<br />

naturally tendered us, because <strong>of</strong> our long established business and <strong>the</strong> prestige <strong>of</strong> our house and <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> our business.<br />

I We <strong>of</strong>fer <strong>the</strong> most careful and painstaking expert service to our patrons in selection. A large part <strong>of</strong> our business consists in fur­<br />

nishing pr<strong>of</strong>essional and amateur players in all parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world a satisfactory instrument from <strong>the</strong>ir written statement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir per­<br />

sonal wants in tone quality, model and price. We will gladly send one or more selected violins costing $10.00 or more to responsible<br />

parties on trial, when this plan is thought necessary to secure <strong>the</strong> desired instrument.<br />

/ With every violin sold at $10.00 or more, we issue an engraved certificate <strong>of</strong> value (see reproduction below) <strong>the</strong> terms <strong>of</strong> which<br />

are that in <strong>the</strong> event <strong>of</strong> a purchaser's desiring a more expensive instrument, <strong>the</strong> full price is allowed in exchange, provided <strong>the</strong> violin<br />

is not damaged in excess <strong>of</strong> ordinary wear and tear. In case you wish to sell <strong>the</strong> violin at private sale, this certificate is especially<br />

valuable.<br />

proper proportion in relation to one ano<strong>the</strong>r, to produce best possible tonal results. Teachers and Conservatories are especially interested<br />

in <strong>the</strong>se well-known Violins, because <strong>the</strong>y have a broad, smooth tone and because <strong>the</strong>y respond to <strong>the</strong> lightest stroke <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> bow and are easy to play. Each Fiedler Violin is hand-made throughout, <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> choicest old wood; back <strong>of</strong> flamed maple,<br />

Robert Glier Violins<br />

Robert Glier is <strong>the</strong> fifteenth violin maker in <strong>the</strong> history <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> famous Glier violin family. As early as 1632, Johannes Gottlieb Glier was maker<br />

oi lutes to <strong>the</strong> Saxon Court. The violins made by <strong>the</strong> Gliers in <strong>the</strong> eighteenth and early part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> nineteenth centuries are treasured possessions <strong>of</strong><br />

many orchestra leaders throughout Europe. One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> early famous makers, Wilhelm August Glier, made a violin for Thomas Jefferson, President <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

United States. This violin is now in a Baltimore collection. The violins <strong>of</strong> Robert Glier are to-day used by hundreds <strong>of</strong> soloists, orchestra leaders and<br />

discriminating amateurs all over <strong>the</strong> world. Mr. Glier has improved his violins in tone and appearance during <strong>the</strong> last years. In evidence <strong>of</strong> tliis fact,<br />

<strong>the</strong> purchase by Ysaye <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> Robert Glier's Lupot copies is conclusive pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir superiority. We are exclusive sales agents for Glier violins.<br />

What Ysaye has to say—<br />

MY DEAR MR. WURUTZER:<br />

The violin <strong>of</strong> Mr. Robert Glier that I have just played, surprises me much. I admit that<br />

I took it for a Lupot, all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> beautiful qualities <strong>of</strong> which it has, and I have only <strong>the</strong> sincerest<br />

praise for <strong>the</strong> artist whose immense talent knows how to imitate Lupot even as Lupot himself<br />

knew how to imitate <strong>the</strong> great Italians. This violin, whose workmanship is wonderful, its warm<br />

color, strong and harmonious FF, is an instrument that could be used satisfactorily in concerts.<br />

The tone is beautiful, very strong and <strong>of</strong> perfect evenness; in one word, this piece <strong>of</strong> work is<br />

a great honor to <strong>the</strong> author, Mr. Robert Glier, and beg you, my dear friend, to give him my<br />

warmest compliments and tell him that I will spread his fame in Europe as well as in America.<br />

In friendship, EUGENE YSAYE.<br />

<strong>the</strong> past seven years. It is a mandolin with a violin tone, pure, sympa<strong>the</strong>tic quality with great carrying power<br />

back <strong>of</strong> It; in short it is an ideal instrument, <strong>the</strong> acme <strong>of</strong> perfection, and nothing more exquisite jn form and<br />

workmanship can be found on <strong>the</strong> market. For <strong>the</strong> ceaseless time and thought spent in perfecting <strong>the</strong> May<br />

Flower, <strong>the</strong> manufacturer deserves a great deal <strong>of</strong> commendation. Wishing you success.<br />

Tours truly, EVERALD C. McNEIL, Soloist and Teacher<br />

The Patent Metal Action.<br />

The simplest, smoo<strong>the</strong>st working and most durable<br />

action ever made. The levers are made <strong>of</strong> a<br />

single piece <strong>of</strong> metal, on <strong>the</strong> ends <strong>of</strong> which are<br />

screwed <strong>the</strong> keys and valves.<br />

The action is held in place by three screws.<br />

It is <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> only a few seconds to take it<br />

apart when any lever can be removed separately<br />

—a complicated task requiring several hours'<br />

work with o<strong>the</strong>r accordeons.<br />

The lever works with a powerful spring which<br />

causes <strong>the</strong> valve cover to fit over <strong>the</strong> valve hole<br />

tightly and evenly, whereas, with <strong>the</strong>. wood and<br />

metal-levers <strong>the</strong> valve covers do not fit so snugly,<br />

and are apt to warp or twist to one side.<br />

Separate Numbered Reed Plates.<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r exclusive Spae<strong>the</strong> feature is a wonderful advance<br />

in accordeon construction. ^<br />

The reeds are <strong>the</strong> best extra wide, unbreakable steel<br />

bronze reeds made. They differ from any o<strong>the</strong>r make inasiliuch<br />

as each reed constitutes a plate by itself. Each single<br />

plate can be easily removed with its reed attached and replaced<br />

by <strong>the</strong> owner <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> instrument himself without having<br />

to send it to <strong>the</strong> repair shop, <strong>the</strong>reby saving a great<br />

deal <strong>of</strong> time and expense. The reeds can be bought singly<br />

and will correspond with <strong>the</strong> balance, each reed being<br />

marked at <strong>the</strong> factory with <strong>the</strong> note it represents. If it<br />

is desired to , repair a broken reed, <strong>the</strong> same can be sent<br />

to us alone; it is not necessary to forward <strong>the</strong> entire accordeon,<br />

as with o<strong>the</strong>r makes. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, <strong>the</strong> Spae<strong>the</strong> reeds<br />

are screwed on instead <strong>of</strong> being fastened with wax as is<br />

<strong>the</strong> case with old style instruments.<br />

PIANO ZITHER<br />

A New Chord Instrument with Keys lor Striking*<br />

Similar to Piano.<br />

This is certainly <strong>the</strong><br />

finest <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> zi<strong>the</strong>r<br />

group, not only in makeup<br />

and equipment, but in<br />

musical efficiency. It<br />

consists <strong>of</strong> a hollow body<br />

22xl3J^ inches, strongly<br />

made and braced so as to<br />

give greatest resonance<br />

and strength, with least<br />

weight; 42 strings are<br />

strung from steel hitch<br />

pins to blued steel tuning<br />

pins over two bridges;<br />

<strong>the</strong> scale is two full octaves<br />

in key <strong>of</strong> C, with<br />

three chord groups C, G<br />

and F. All <strong>the</strong> treble <strong>of</strong><br />

two octaves is double strung, 15 notes with 30 strings.<br />

This double stringing adds 100 per cent, to <strong>the</strong> power<br />

possessed by any o<strong>the</strong>r zi<strong>the</strong>r, and besides contributes<br />

infinitely greater strength. The playing is done by striding<br />

keys that work on springs, <strong>the</strong> rebound from which<br />

throws <strong>the</strong> striker against <strong>the</strong> string, giving a beautiful<br />

harp like tone <strong>of</strong> great power. Regular concert and dance<br />

music can be played as on a piano. The right hand fingers<br />

play <strong>the</strong> melody just as on a piano, <strong>the</strong> left hand<br />

fingers playing <strong>the</strong> accompaniment on similar keys. The<br />

whole mechanism is very simple, easy to get at, and<br />

unhampered by any complex or delicate parts. Equipped<br />

free with an ample book <strong>of</strong> instructions and music, a<br />

tuning key and a music rack.<br />

Our price $11 00<br />

With German Silver Engraved Patent Head.<br />

B 15208 38 strings, rosewood top and sides, with pillar, purfling<br />

inlaid around edge and soundhole, in lined<br />

any idea as to uhat it accompUshes in <strong>the</strong> way <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> natural reproduction <strong>of</strong><br />

all music.<br />

The Victor Machine has been gradually improved until now it is perfect.<br />

Musical Critics no longer say <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Victor, "It is remarkable but metallic." No,<br />

for <strong>the</strong> gradual development <strong>of</strong> this marvelous instrument has at last brought it<br />

to a point that leaves nothing to be desired.<br />

The Victor is now acknowledged, even in <strong>the</strong> most es<strong>the</strong>ic musical circles, to<br />

be a perfectly acceptable substitute for <strong>the</strong> best opera and concerts.<br />

A large part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> credit is due <strong>the</strong> Victor Records. These are now made<br />

by a newly discovered secret process that results in a perfectly natural reproduction<br />

and wonderful wearing qualities.<br />

It is hardly necessary to speak at length <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> long list <strong>of</strong> artists who make Records for <strong>the</strong> Victor. The list<br />

includes most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> prominent singers and <strong>the</strong>atrical stars now before <strong>the</strong> public.<br />

THE RUDOLPH WURLITZEI, INCINNATI, O. 125<br />

Wurlitzer Piano Department<br />

"A Better Piano for Less Mone^"<br />

The motto <strong>of</strong> our extensive Piano Department: "A Better Piano for Less Money", is known<br />

throughout <strong>the</strong> length and breadth <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> land.<br />

This is largely owing to <strong>the</strong> fact that thousands <strong>of</strong> satisfied customers to whom we have sold<br />

pianos, have been so well pleased with <strong>the</strong>ir investment that <strong>the</strong>y are ever ready to say a good word<br />

for <strong>the</strong> quality, durability and low price <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Wurlitzer Pianos.<br />

The piano buyer should by all means secure his instrument from an established musical firm,<br />

one whose reputation and experience with pianos is such that <strong>the</strong>y cannot afford to sell any but dependable<br />

instruments. In this way one can avoid <strong>the</strong> possibility <strong>of</strong> securing <strong>the</strong> cheaply built, commercial<br />

instrument utterly unworthy to be classed as a musical instrument.<br />

We have had over half-a-century's experience with <strong>the</strong> best makes <strong>of</strong> pianos. The idea in<br />

our Piano Department has been to make this a great clearing house <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> leading makes <strong>of</strong> pianos.<br />

You can secure <strong>the</strong> best possible instrument at any price, from <strong>the</strong> lowest to <strong>the</strong> highest.<br />

We guarantee <strong>the</strong> prices to be<br />

The Lowest in America<br />

We are able to do this because <strong>the</strong>re are a number <strong>of</strong> economies in our Piano<br />

Selling Plan not to be found elsewhere, and we give our customers full benefit <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>se.<br />

For instance, we do not pay so much as one cent commission to ainyone to influence<br />

you to buy here. All our prices are plainly marked, and are <strong>the</strong> same to everyone.<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, we employ no outside piano solicitors, to annoy people in <strong>the</strong>ir homes.<br />

We save piano buyers <strong>the</strong> large sums earned by such go-betweens.<br />

Then too, we sell our fifteen leading makes <strong>of</strong> Pianos and Player Pianos under<br />

one ro<strong>of</strong>, where <strong>the</strong>re are six o<strong>the</strong>r large Musical Departments, but only one selling,<br />

renting and <strong>of</strong>fice expense for all.<br />

As a result, we guarantee to save you from $50.00 to $200.00 on any Piano or Player Piano<br />

bought <strong>of</strong> us.<br />

We feature especially <strong>the</strong> "Wurlitzer" Piano, which has long enjoyed <strong>the</strong> distinction <strong>of</strong> being "<strong>the</strong><br />

Home Piano" <strong>of</strong> Musical Cincinnati.<br />

We make <strong>the</strong> "Wurlitzer" Piano in our own factories, and as we sell it direct under <strong>the</strong> most<br />

economical selling plan in <strong>the</strong> world, we are able to save you a great deal <strong>of</strong> money on this magnificent<br />

instrument.<br />

'T' , Every piano is shipped by us with <strong>the</strong> understanding that it will prove satisfactory, and<br />

L KyliilOt exactly as represented, o<strong>the</strong>rwise it may be returned to us at our expense. Very easy<br />

terms <strong>of</strong> payment may be arranged—a small sum down and <strong>the</strong> balance monthly. A<br />

handsome stool and scarf to match are included with every piano.
