The
STEINWAY
Supremacy
Lofty idealism has always dominated the artcraft of piano building at the factories of
Steinway & Sons. The distinguished house of Steinway always insists on the best mate-
rials obtainable, prepared in the most careful and scientific way by the trained Steinway men.
The Steinway Piano is the favorite of the most eminent artists on both hemispheres,
and it has sung its own praises before kings and presidents, in hall and in home, in the
tropics and in lands of ice and snow, in summer and in winter.
Among all the commodities of commerce this remarkable instrument has for two gen-
erations stood apart, differing from all other products in so far that its supremacy has never
been questioned. It has passed into our every-day speech, and we use it as a symbol of
perfection.
No doubt the real secret of Steinway success is found in that conscientious sense of re-
sponsibility, in each individual employee, that the reputation of Steinway must be forever
maintained.
Steinw r ay dealers, too, appreciate that they are
the Representative Dealers
of their respective cities or communities.
