Scene Repeated In Homes Zkwughout the Cand
ON CHRISTMAS MORNING
Music is as much a part of Christmas as holly and mistletoe or the tree itself. The songs we
all sing at this season are, perhaps, man's best expression of and response to the emotional
and spiritual significance of this day of days. } That's why the piano makes such a thrill-
ingly appropriate Christmas gift. } And that's why we hail American Piano Dealers as Santa's
special emissaries. It is through their efforts that the happy scene above will be duplicated
in thousands of homes—and the priceless gift of music has been handed down from genera-
tion to generation —a vital living thing the whole family may enjoy and participate in.
} Gentlemen, we salute you and wish you the Joyous Christmas you so richly deserve.
