T
HE small grand has gradually but surely become the instrument
which the piano dealer must feature as his leader. No matter how
complete may be his line of uprights and players, the dealer cannot
hope to satisfy the requirements of even a very limited clientele unless
he can supply a grand piano of moderate proportions. The Poole Small
Grand is therefore the logical instrument for the progressive dealer to
feature, for while its diminutive size renders it admirably adapted for use
in homes where space is limited, there has been absolutely no sacrifice of
tonal quality or resonance in producing an instrument of its small size.
Three decades of prestige and popularity in tjie musical world have
made the Poole trade-mark the criterion of perfection in musical instru-
ments—a result of the painstaking care and absolute fidelity to the highest
ideals of the piano-maker's art which have constantly characterized the
creation of instruments bearing the Poole name. Poole prestige, plus the
intrinsic worth of the instrument itself, renders the Poole Small Grand
the peer of all instruments of its class. Let us send you your copy of an
attractive brochure which will prove to you the wisdom and profitableness
of handling the Poole line—a line whose quality needs no guarantee.
