second grand prize in a national sales contest con-
ducted by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company,

city in the country was represented in this com-
petitive contest, which started April 13 and ended
July 6. There were 84 grand prizes awarded to the
salesmen selling the most phonographs and records
in that time. Beside the grand prizes there were
weekly and monthly awards to the salesmen who
were high for each week and month. Mr. Lang in
addition to winning the second grand prize won the

Peerless Pneumatic Piano Action
Co., Inc.
"What action has the piano?" is a familiar question
put by professional pianists to the piano dealer or
salesman in the course of a sale. It is a natural
query from men and women who understand the im-
portance of the action in the production of a reliable
instrument. They know the functions of the piano
action—that wonderful mechanism governing touch
and controlling tone in the piano's most vital part.
And when the salesman replies that the action is
that of Wessell, Nickel & Gross, identified by the
widely known octagonal trade-mark, the discriminat-
ing customers are satisfied. The professional player,
the teacher and discriminating musical people gener-
ally are aware that only in instruments of high char-
acter and reliability is found the Wessell, Nickel &
Gross action, the choice of leading American piano
makers since 1874.
The alert piano dealer recognizes the supremacy
of this famous product and realizes its value as a
talking point in his pianos. The Wessell, Nickel &
Gross actions are of highest grade and are produced
in one grade only. So it is a point well understood
by the wideawake dealer that they are always a
guarantee of the grade of the instrument in which
they are found.
Tiny Coinola
are now aware of the high character of the key-cov-
ering work done by Frield Miller & Co., 3767 North
Illinois street, Indianapolis. All the work done by
the company named in recovering and rebushing
keys is performed by expert workmen with the aid
of modern machinery. The customers are assured of
correct spacing so that when the keys are replaced
they will appear exactly as when the instrument left
the factory. Write for prices and instructions as to
shipping.
Reliable Service in Re-covering and Re-bushing Per-
formed for Dealers, Repairmen and Tuners.
The assurance of good service in repairs minimizes
the used-piano problem for the alert dealer. Instru-
ments taken in trade will accumulate if there is no
effort in the store to dispose of them. They occupy
space and every day they remain unsold takes from
the profits of the original deal.
Making the taken-in-trade piano salable is a neces-
sity of the piano dealer. The repaired instruments
must not only have tunefulness but they also must
have a presentable appearance. The chances for
quick sale for a used instrument with damaged, dis-
colored and unsightly keys, for instance, are poor,
whereas a bright, new set of keys makes even an old
instrument attractive.
Great numbers of dealers, repairmen and tuners
