schools, colleges, conservatories of
music and other public institutions,

in fine furniture. Note the eye-compelling beauty, the charm and

guished touch which particular people appreciate.They are built

Each Blue Ribbon model has its own individuality, expressed in the distinctive name

"I'LV'E knew the trade was ready and waiting for
fY a small apartment or kindergarten uprigh t of
real quality — one that would fit into even a small
room without crowding—one that could be eas-
ily handled in the school room. But we were not
satisfied to bring out merely a "toy" piano with
jingling tone. We counted ourselves honor bound
to the music-loving public—whose implicit con-
fidence we have won during our quarter of a
century of building fine pianos—to offer a new
baby upright with the same high standards
of perfection that have always character-
ized all Hobart M. Cable instruments.
So Hobart M. Cable craftsmen exper-
imented patiently and untiringly,
until at last they have succeeded
in building up a scale for the
SONG BIRD that gives this
baby of the new Blue Ribbon
Line a fluency, a
warmth and rich-
ness of tone, that
makes it truly
the "little piano
with t h e full-
sized Hobart M.
Cable tone."
The woods are selected, beautifully grained burl walnut or rich, lustrous dark red or
brown mahogany; also furnished in the artistic new high light, two tone blended —hand
rubbed to a velvety finish.
And Hobart M. Cable Blue Ribbon models are offered at a price that at once stamps them
an outstanding value. When you secure the franchise for the Hobart M. Cable Blue Ribbon
Line, you will have something new to talk about—something right up-to-the-minute to offer
your customers.
