Paul G. Mehlin & Sons
Sell Factory Building
Will, However, Continue Manufacture of Pianos
in Leased Space in the Same Structure
HROUGH Charles Frederick Stein's zeal in experiment-
ing along both theoretical and practical lines, and through
his clinging to an ambition to build the finest grand piano
possible, an instrument of extraordinary tonal qualities has
been presented to the musical world.
To the musician and likewise to the music merchant this
is of paramount importance. But to the music merchant there
is added and vital importance in the fact that this instru-
ment is of inestimable value as a sales asset.
The Charles Frederick Stein possesses a mellow singing
tone of marvelous possibilities. Its durability is assured
through the use of the very best of materials and through pains-
taking hand workmanship. The case designs, veneers and
finishes are most attractive.
These sales merits are so extraordinary as to be readily
apparent to the customer, after comparison and are therefore
of great assistance in reducing sales resistance.
Charles Frederick Stein is considering additional agencies
and you would be interested, we are sure, in more complete
information.

fact that we had an opportunity to sell at a
most satisfactory price, and the money which
