THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
From the PACIFIC COAST MUSICAL REVIEW, San Francisco
The Price of Success
No matter what one builds that is better, what one writes that teaches
a greater truth, what one paints that is truer to the beauties of God's crea-
tions; no matter what one discovers in the realm of science or the field of
mechanical engineering, what one designs that is more beautiful, more
enduring; no matter what one creates that is superior to the work of his
fellows, that creation must prove its worth, must stand the test of time,
must by its structure, by its beauty, its individual excellence, its superior
qualities, successfully combat the jibes, the jealousies, the detractions and
the assaults of those whose best efforts it has exceeded, whose highest
attainments it has pushed aside.
Mediocrity never i&-attacked. Indifferent and imperfect creations
never arouse jealousies; never are they assailed. The homely though con-
scientious efforts of the unskilled artisan, the canvas of the painter who
lacks in drawing or technique, the melodies of the uninspired composer or
the writings of the unimaginative and untutored author, create no antagon-
isms, breed no envious criticisms, no clamorous denunciations. Instead, it is
ever the leader at whom are directed the poisoned arrows of jealousy, the vig-
orous deprecations of the dissatisfied and the denunciations of the envious.
He whose product is good enough or great enough to attain leadership
will lead. He who by his courage and industry has blazed a new trail, will
see that trail a highway. He who by his genius and perseverance has
created an article which is epoch making in the arts, will see that epoch
recorded and will reap the just reward of his efforts.

Leads because it was predestined to lead, because it is good enough and
great enough to have earned leadership, because it has blazed a new
trail of quality, established a newer and a higher standard of excellence
than the musical world dreamed possible before its inception. Its accept-
ance and endorsement by the greatest artists and musical organizations
of the world, stamp it undeniably the supreme achievement of the
piano builder's art.
Mason and Hamlin Pianos are shown exclusively at our stores, W e
earnestly solicit your critical inspection of them.
