Why they choose the
STEINWAY
Every Steinway piano embodies principles of design origi-
nated and perfected by four generations of the Steinway
family. Every instrument possesses the rare and appreciated
qualities that endear the Steinway to such masters as
Paderewski, Rachmaninoff, Hofmann, Cortot, Grainger and
Levitski.
For more than three-quarters of a century through succes-
sive generations of the Steinway family, the Steinway piano
has been developed according to the high ideals established
by Henry Englehard Steinway, maker of the first Steinway
piano.

Queen Anne
This grand piano with charming silhouette
exemplifies the grace of line of the Queen
Anne epoch. The music rack is in harmony
with the rim and lyre. Handsome crotch
veneer panels over the front legs lend dis-
tinction to the whole and add to the charm
of the graceful legs with their convention-
alized shell ornaments. Casters are con-
cealed in the leg bases. Artistically an-
tiqued, this design reflects the true Queen
Anne spirit.
Made in mahogany and walnut.
The leadership in trade, distinguishing Steinway dealers every-
where, is significant of the great power of the Steinway name.

The
N e w CAPEHART
Automatic Record Changer
for the Home
The compact size of the new Capehart record changer—
14 %" x 14 J4" x 7 Mi"—makes possible an automatic com'
bination radio-phonograph in a considerably smaller size
than ever available before. This unit is equally adaptable
to standard and full size instruments. Illustration gives an
idea of relative sizes.
Model 10*12 in loading position. Note the
lever on right side which throws the unit into
position for 10-inch records when down, or 12-inch
records when up. With a special arrangement in'
corporating a double-throw master switch, one
record can be placed on the turn-table, the adjust'
ment set according to the size of the record and the
magazine can be loaded while the pick-up automati-
cally comes into position and the first record is
being played.
lADING MANUFACTURE
IERS will offer to their trade this
year a vastly improved super-
I type radio-phonograph combi-
nation—made possible by Capehart's
newest achievement, the Model 10'12
automatic record changing mechanism de-
signed for use in home instruments.
This new mechanism handles both 10-
inch and 12-inch records. Its compactness
enables a fully automatic combination in a
smaller cabinet than ever before possible.
Simple and dependable in operation, it
embodies exclusive features of design and
manufacture such as might be expected
only of Capehart, with its background of
leadership in record changing devices.
In a word, the new Model 10-12 record
changer adds that final factor of complete-
ness to the radio-phonograph combination
which alert dealers will recognise as the
outstanding sales opportunity of the year.
Two Profits for the Dealer
The radio-phonograph combination is by
all odds the instrument of the day. Cape-
hart's new automatic record changer adds
the plus value to every combination in
which it is used which justifies a price with
a splendid margin of profit. Every pur-
chaser represents a re-occurring source of
profit on the sale of records in groups!
