of beauty in fine woods and ivory, the Steinway points and confirms the unmistakable
air of distinction prevailing in the cultured home. It is an incomparable decoration of graceful
line and glowing finish for the important room dedicated to guests and pleasure. Like a storied

dition. Wagner, Liszt, Caruso, Hofmann, Paderewski, Rachmaninoff . . . in the daily lives
of all of these, each a genius who marks the progress of musical history, the Steinway has played its
intimate, unfailing part. And in the theaters, concert halls and great homes of Europe and
America, its pure, rich music, like a thread of brilliant song, has woven its way through courtships,
entertainments and art that have become part of the very foundations of our cultural past.
A Steinway will provide two or three generations with the means of entertainment as well as instruction for
the children. As an instrument for such instruction, the Steinway ranks as a virtual necessity; for children who are
introduced to music through the Steinway form no second-rate conceptions of tone and performance out of which they
later will have to struggle. Yet this veritable Instrument of the Immortals . . . built to ever-rising standards by the same
family for more than half a century . . . is purchasable on terms that even the most careful budget can provide for.
And it will stand up through years of rigorous use that actually would see the end of two or three inferior pianos.

As the Steinway is made in New York City, these prices, naturally, must
be "plus transportation" beyond New York and its suburbs. Used pianos
of all makes will be accepted in partial exchange for any style of Steinway.
