nounces That New Number Will Be Pro-
duced in Straight Upright and Player.
The Continental Piano Company, Boston, an-
nounces that the Strohbcr Diminutive line can now be
obtained under the name of Smith & Barnes. This
announcement comes as the result of an insistent
and continued demand on the part of Continental
lodges and clubs. The Strohber Diminutive is only
three feet seven and one-half inches high, weighs only
three hundred and eighty pounds, has the regular
seven and one-third octaves and standard size keys,
and has full tone volume.
The Smith & Barnes name has been prominently
known in the trade for over forty years. Smith &
Barnes Diminutives will be made in all of the styles
of the Strohber Diminutive, that is, the straight up-
right and player, the Italian Renaissance upright
and player and the Louis XVI upright and player.
The cases will be finished in mahogany and oak.

and have built up a good deal of good will for their
stores with this line.
The Strohber Diminutive is the original Diminutive
piano and was first built by the Smith, Barnes &
Strohber Division of The Continental Piano Co.
about five years ago. The Strohber Diminutive won
instant popularity from the first, and it has enjoyed
an ever increasing demand. National advertising
has made its name well known.
Due to its small size it is an ideal instrument for
small apartments and homes, schools, churches,
