MARKETING THE CECILAPHONE
Bush & Lane Co. Make Extensive Plans to De-
velop the Phonograph Department of Their
Vast Business—Producing Attractive Models
HOLLAND, MICH., August 12.—The Bush & Lane
Piano Co., who have heen making an excellent
talking machine for something over a year past,
are now ready to market on a more extensive
scale and are coming before the trade generally
with their product. The machine has been a
success following along the custom of every-
thing produced by the Bush & Lane Co. It
has heretofore been known simply as the Bush
& Lane phonograph, but as a result of the de-
sire expressed by many of the dealers for a
distinctive symbolic talking machine name, they
have adopted that of the Cecilaphone. The se-
lection is a particularly happy one for two rea-
sons. In the first place, it is associated with
that of the patron saint of music, Saint Cecilia,
and it also hitches up with the quality reputa-
tion of the famous Bush & Lane Cecilian player-
piano.
The Cecilaphone was only brought into ex-
istence after long and thorough experimental
work by Walter Lane, the president and gen-
eral superintendent of the Bush & Lane Co.,
who is known the country over as a skilled piano
builder and a designer of piano cases of un-
usual beauty.
The models of the Cecilaphone are exception-
ally artistic and symmetrical. The cabinet work,
the character of the veneers and the finish all
commend themselves at once to connoisseurs.
The Cecilaphone has a special horn construction
which, born of Mr. Lane's experience in sound
board and piano construction, contributes in no
small degree to its really superb tone.
Dealers wishing to secure the agency for the
machine, which will appeal to the very highest
class of trade in their locality and which car-
ries with it proof of its unusual value, would
do well to investigate the Cecilaphone and the
claims made for it.

How You Can

Piano merchants, who have
not investigated the talking
machine field, will find that
the subject is one of deep
interest to them and they
will also learn that talking
machines constitute a line
which can be admirably
blended with piano selling.
The advance that has been
made in this special field
has been phenomenal and
every dealer who desires
specific information con-
cerning talking machines
should receive The Talking
Machine World regularly.
This is the oldest publica-
tion in America devoted
exclusively to the interests
of the talking machine, and
each issue contains a vast
fund of valuable informa-
tion which the talking
machine jobbers and dealers
say is worth ten times the
cost of the paper to them.
You can receive the paper
regularly at a cost of $2.00
a year and we know of no
manner in which $2.00 can
be expended which will
supply as much valuable
information.
