Why Kurtzmann Dealers
SELL Kurtzmann Pianos
TALK to any one of the hundreds of dealers who sell Kurtzmann Pianos and you will hear
an unusual story.
They will tell you, once they have Kurtzmann Instruments on the floor, the Kurtz-
mann becomes their leading piano.
This is not a new discovery, of course, for the Kurtzmann has been a favorite piano
ever since the first one was made seventy-five years ago.
Kurtzmann dealers may or may not put in Kurtzmann Pianos as their leading instru-
ments, but the constant quality and sensible price of the Kurtzmann cause it to take that
position soon after a dealer's salesmen and customers gain an intimate knowledge of its
musical merit and inbuilt stamina.
The piano dealer who seeks to erect an enduring business structure in his community
can not choose a more trustworthy corner-stone than the Kurtzmann. It is as much of a
friendmaker as it is a moneymaker—a piano that has as warm an appeal for the unin-
structed as it has for the music master.

PHONOGRAPH WITH KEYBOARD.
WILSON DRUMS
An inventor has built a phonograph that, upon the
pressing of any certain two keys, picks out the desired
record, places it in position on the turntable, swings
in the tonearm, and lowers the needle into position,
thereupon starting the playing mechanism automati-
cally, gets into action again, swinging the playing
arm back, stopping the turntable, picking up the rec-
ord, and returning it to its place in the magazine,
which holds ntfy records.
