"If there had been any doubt in our minds regarding the efficiency and correctness of
your drying system up until the time of the war, which, by the way, there was not, our
suspicions would have been entirely allayed by the report of the Government officials who
had charge of our kiln, which they were using for the drying of walnut for propeller stock."
The GRAND RAPIDS
VAPOR
KILN
Your Drying Problems Are Our Problems
The American Photo-Player Co., of Berkeley, Cal., makers of
high-grade pianos, are using two 14 ft. x 32 ft. Grand Rapids
Vapor Kilns which were installed in 1913. They have found
our scientific methods exactly suited to the precise drying
requirements of their work.
In the curing of wood for pianos there can be no guess work.
There is no such thing as "just as good" in a high quality
product. "Nearly good" is no good, as many other piano and
musical instrument manufacturers have learned.
The American Photo-Player Co. does not employ trucks and
a transfer system. Instead the lumber is piled directly in on
the under construction.
Lyon & Healy, the famous makers of pianos and musical
instruments, have placed three distinct orders for Grand Rapids
Vapor Kiln installations. Their equipment now totals 6 units.
The Baldwin Piano Co., Gulbransen-Dickinson Co., Hallet &
Davis Piano Co., Henry G. Johnson Piano Co., Kohler In-
dustries, Schubert Piano Co., Schumann Piano Co., Simplex
Player Action Co., P. A. Starck Piano Co., Story and Clark
Piano Co., Thayer Action Co. and Wessel, Nickel & Gross
find Grand Rapids Vapor Kilns cure their wood better and in
less time, with less waste of stock.
It will be to your advantage to investigate the exceptional opportunity offered you to solve your drying problems.
Our laboratory service and our corps of trained engineers are yours for the asking. Technical bulletins cover-
ing practically every phase of wood curing problems will be sent you without obligation on your part. Let us
have a word from you.
