he most important advance in the de-
velopment of the Reproducing Piano since
the original basic Welte Patents in 191L
— an original Welte-
Mignon Grand Piano,
with the entire mechan-
ism installed within confines
of the normal straight grand
piano case — no drawer, no side cur-
tains, no distortion of the case — and withal,
containing every feature that has brought the
Welte-Mignon its conceded artistic supremacy*
There will be one exclusive "Origi-
nal" Welte-Mignon dealer in your
territory. He will have the exclu-
sive advantage of an instrument
which in appearance and perform-
ance is in advance of any instru-
ment in the field; a library that
contains the playing of practically
every modern pianist of real note;
the backing of national advertising
and promotion; national prices; and
a line containing fifteen exclusive
period models in addition to regu-
lar standard styles.
Where we are not represented this
offers a great opportunity for the
ambitious, live wire reproducing
piano salesman with limited capital
to secure an exclusive Studio repre*
sentation backed by one of the
strongest institutions in the trade.

retained which make it possible to
place this instrument in any position
in the room with charming effect.
