How the Simplex Transposing'
Device Operates
As the Simplex Action is in its entirety, so the Simplex transposing device is in part
—simplicity
itself.
Its adjustment is simple and direct.
render its use ineffective.
There are no complicated parts to get out of order and
A child can transpose the "keys" in which it is playing a roll.
By moving lever A, which stands in front of the spool box, to left or right, the pitch is
lowered or raised, as indicated by tracker bar openings C.
"Ghost" outlines indicate its extreme transposing range of five tones—which is range enough to
accommodate any voice.
•••••••••••••••••i
The value of the "word roll," as a selling argument to advance
the sale of player-pianos, is heightened by a good transposing
device, and the Simplex Transposer is the best and simplest on the
market. Manufacturers and dealers, alike, will do well to investi-
gate and verify this statement.

Dear Sir:-
-
''•'.*
Do you realize what a large increase in Production means to
the Manufacturer?
It means he must go into the markets of the World, and invest
hundreds of thousands of dollars in raw material:
it means he must
secure the services of hundreds of skilled mechanics, and while he is
striving with mipht and main to increase the Production, he must not
decrease the QUALITY.
"QUALITY FIRST AND FIRST QUALITY"
is our
Llotto, and while we have increased our Production 50%, we have not *
decreased our QUALITY one iota.
Mr. Merchant, this huge task is done Trith the one thought in
mind, and that is, that v.e may give you SERVICE:
that you may hand
your customer a piano or a flayer that you will have full confidence
in;
an instrument that will give pleasure, satisfaction, and long
years of SERVICE;
that you will be proud to say,
"I stand "behind
this Product."
Our increase in Production will make it -possible for us to take
on a few selected accounts next year.
Very truly yours,
•I
JESSE FRENCH & SONS PIANO COMPANY.
