BY Q R S WORD ROLLS
four representatives, selected by the parties and four
others in their industry chosen by them and familiar "A Tale Told in Music, Not Words," Is Explanation
with their problems. The board is presided over by
of Q R S Co.
A most handsome and costly folder is devoted to
the Q R S story rolls. The border designs inclosing
the story and the list of these rolls is rich in color-
ing, while the drawings tell the story of music's de-
velopment down to the present day with all its won-
derful advantages. The new folder tells the follow-
ing story of music:
All great music has a story to tell. Back of the
harmony lies a tale—a tale told in music, not words.
The person who has a musical education can read
the hidden meaning—the "story" of the music—
really understand it.
And with this understanding of music comes the
added pleasure that is born of getting out of the
composition all the enjoyment it holds. The new Q
R S story roll bridges the gap of understanding—
the story the music unfolds is printed on the roll so
that you may read as you play.
Many of the greatest masterpieces of music today
seem uninteresting to you simply because you do not
understand them. The moment you understand the
story they tell, you see their beauty and realize why
they will never die. It ordinarily takes years of

study to be able to fully interpret their meanings.
But in the Q R S Story Roll, the meaning is given
to you as you play—the story the composer tells in
music is printed on the roll—you read—you under-
stand and you feel all the sentiment that music really
expresses.

The Q R S Story Roll is the "Moving Picture of
Music"—it is a musical education—a music conserva-
tory at home and last—but most important—an idea
which enables everyone to really get out of the
world's masterpieces of music that something that
will make them live forever.
A famous composer sums it all up when he says,
