Boston Industry Will Be Well Represented
and Will Afford Dealers Opportunity to See
Improvements and Enjoy Entertainment.
Dealers will be especially interested in the Conven-
tion exhibit of the Continental Piano Company at
the Drake.
The Continental group includes the
famous Henry F. Miller, Strohber, Smith & Barnes,
Willard, Lessing, Hoffmann and Strohber Diminu-
tive lines. All styles are built, including uprights,
players, grands, reproducing pianos and period mod-
els. The Continental exhibit will comprise a repre-
sentative showing of the entire group.
The Continental Piano Company announces six
new styles in the Willard, Lessing and Hoffmann
lines. The Continental Convention Exhibit will in-
clude an advance showing of part of these new styles.
These beautiful new models have been received with
overwhelming enthusiasm by all of the dealers who
have seen them. They will be ready for Fall de-
livery.
The new styles are made in the upright and player
models in the four feet four inches, four feet six
inches, and four feet nine inch sizes. The attractive
cases are beautifully designed, with the artistic sim-
plicity of straight lines and pleasing plain surfaces,
which meet the popular demand. They are well bal-
anced and gracefully proportioned. They are made
of selected mahogany, oak and walnut and the var-
nish work shows an exceptionally fine finish. They
arc- furnished in highly polished or dull finish.
These new designs are the result of the past six
months' efforts on the part of production manager
George H. Hill, of The Continental Piano Company,
who has for some years been associated with The
Henry F. Miller organization and is largely respon-
sible for many of the late improvements in the Henry
F. Miller pianos.
Among the Continental officials who will be at the
Convention are:
G. Wilson MacDow, vice-president and treasurer;
F. R. Allen, sales manager; J. B. Heckler, Roy C.
Burgess, Frank A. Butler.
The exhibit will be in charge of Mr. Allen and
headquarters will be at the Drake Hotel.
On Wednesday night. June 10, the dealers of The
Continental Piano Company will be guests of the
company at the merchants' banquet, and on Thurs-
day night, the 11th, the Continental dealers will be
the guests of the Company's salesmen at the Travel-
ers' Frolic.
