PIANO ACTIONS
HIGHEST GRADE
STRAUCH BROS. ACTIONS
Fine Product Made for Playerpianos Possesses
High Character Distinguishing Piano Ac-
tion of the New York Company.
A pneumatic action bearing the name Strauch Bros.
is a guide for unfailing quality to the music dealer
and his customer. The high quality which has dis-
tinguished the piano actions of Strauch Bros., New
York, for close to sixty years now is a generally ad-
mitted characteristic of the latest product of the com-
pany—the Strauch Bros, pneumatic action. They are
chosen by manufacturers because they are as simple
in construction as they are dependable in operation.
Today, more than ever before, the playerpiano
buyers demand a pneumatic action that is a guarantee
of continuous service for the instrument in which it
is placed. Dealers respond to that demand by favor-
ing the player pianos equipped with an action that is
absolutely dependable. The customer's satisfaction
with his playerpiano purchase, his continuation as a
music roll buyer and the dealer's character as a reli-
able merchant, all hinge on the serviceable quality of
the pneumatic action in the player.
Undeniable serviceable quality is a valuable trait
associated with Strauch Bros, action products since
1867. So that the fine attribute of unfailing service
is an inherited one in the Strauch Bros, pneumatic
action. As dealers recognize the value of this name
on a piano action they also admit its worth in a
player action coming from the great factories at 327
to 347 Walnut avenue, at 141st street, New York
City.
LUMBER TALKS BROADCAST.
The speeches at the banquet given in Chicago this
