The Piano of the Artist's Choice
RADUALLY, and with a certainty that is like the ebb and
G
flow of the tides, the MASON & HAMLIN piano has
asserted and extended its leadership in the artistic and authori-
tative musical circles. Its fidelity, unvarying quality and
beauty of tone have created among connoisseurs everywhere
an admiration and a profound respect that has been accor-
ded no other piano in the history of music and musicians.
T
HE most critical piano merchants, are its enthusiastic
representatives, and the public's critical hearing is always
invited, and with but one result,—the verdict of approval
by those competent to judge, including the world's greatest
pianists.

most valuable piano in tfie world

That descriptive slogan tells concisely the story of a
glorious ideal realised — an ambition that inspired
John V. Steger, the founder of the Steger Institution,
over forty years ago.
From its very beginning one leading, dominant policy
has been jealously maintained by the Steger organi-
sation — to produce the finest piano it is possible to build.
Time, effort and expense have been regarded always
as secondary considerations. The result is an instru-
ment of beautiful tone, surpassing musical excellence and
guaranteed reliability—praised by thousands and thou-
sands of musicians and musk>lovers the world over.
The Steger is offered at a very attractive price, quality
considered, because efficient Steger factory methods and
extensive purchasing power insure the utmost saving.
It is natural, therefore, that the Steger—the ultimate
in musical, artistic and constructive excellence—should
be known as "the most valuable piano in the world."
Steger representation offers profitable possibilities. A
plan of sound financing and sales-promotion, backed by
helpful advertising co-operation, guarantees success and
prestige for capable business-builders.

Whenever you read a piano advertisement, ask yourself this question: "Will this
announcement benefit or injure the piano industry! — that is, will it make it
easier or more difficult for piano merchants to obtain fair prices and fair profits?"
