Twelve Republicans

NOVEMBER 15,1892
But Only One
ILLARD PILLMORE, the last Whig to occupy
the White House, had been in office just a year
M
when the first Vose Piano was manufactured.
Since then, twelve Republican and five Democratic
Presidents have held office. Among them, Buchanan,
Lincoln Grant, Garfield, Cleveland, Roosevelt, Wil-
son and Coolidge. Politics and policies, not alone in
America but all over the world, have changed time
after time Our own Constitution has been amended
eight times. Slavery was abolished after a great
Civil War.
New and great names and ideas have flashed across
the skies, glowed brilliantly for a time—dimmed and
faded away. But Vose has gone on and on, through
seventeen administrations—with never a change in
the principles laid down 77 years ago by James W.
Vose. One continuous unbroken administration for
77 years. That's why Vose Quality Has Always Been
Higher Than Price—because the same family which
sponsored it, when Fillmore was President, directs its
destinies today, on the eve of selecting candidates
for America's thirty-first President.

GRANDS
Instrument, When Introduced in Paris, Is
Enthusiastically Received by Critics as New
Franco-American Product
The initial public presentation of the Gaveau
piano with the Ampico to the musical world of
Paris was made recently in the beautiful Salle
Gaveau at a soiree attended by the leading
musicians and critics of France. The occasion
was in the nature of a private musicale to
which Messrs. Gaveau invited the musical in-
telligentsia of the country, with Maurice Du-
niesnil, Ampico recording artist, as soloist. The
alfair was held on a Sunday evening, and as-
sumed a gala character with the presence of a
brilliant audience of socially prominent music
lovers and reviewers from the Paris newspapers.
The installation of the Ampico in the Gaveau
piano, which is one of several great European
instruments in which the Ampico is now ob-
tainable, was naturally an event of far-reaching
interest, and the demonstration was extensively
reviewed by the press. All of the critics ex-
pressed themselves enthusiastically with respect
to the new reproducing combination. The critic
of Le Menestrel, for instance, saying, "The
Gaveau Ampico is a Franco-American instru-
ment: French by Gaveau, American by the
Ampico. From this transoceanic collaboration
an apparatus was born, surprising by its ex-
actitude, flexibility and perfection. This re-
producing piano gives all the shadings, all the
tempos of the recorded playing; one can recog-
nize the intensity of touch, the velvety tone,
the powerful attack of the artist."

Sport Shop on Main street, this city, suffered

adding to its popularity steadily in the interim.
Interest was added to the copy through a re-
production therein of a Vose advertisement,
published by the Jenkins house, during the Har-
rison administration thirty-six years ago.
The fact that there were present in Kansas
City delegations of representative men and
women from every State in the Union served
to broaden the appeal of the timely publicity.

recording of Chopin's Nocturne in G and the

Art before a large audience. The program was
very well received, enthusiasm running high
among her listeners.
