It is cleverly written.
Modest in statement and free from useless
verbiage, it impresses the reader by its dignified
tone.
The introductory is devoted to an explanation
of the possibilities of the " Symphony " instru-
ments, their growth in popularity and a modest
reference to the senior member of the firm, who
has given 45 years of his life in the field of organ
manufacturing, and his three practical sons, who
are daily engaged in supervising and conducting
this extensive business and developing new
features,

Tennyson or Longfellow, but it is clever just the
same—and, best of all, the Steger "gets there."
