A significant letter
from
SIGNOR GATTI-CASAZZA
General Manager of the
Metropolitan Opera Company
"After fourteen years of our very cordial association, I wish to
reassert my pleasure at the satisfaction the H a r d m a n Pianos
have given us, and wish to reemphasize my appreciation of the
tone quality, durability and the splendid workmanship of your
admirable instrument."
ACROSS THE FOOTLIGHTS INTO FAME
The musical and artistic beauties of the
Hardman Concert Grand won for it an im-
portant role, together with Gigli, Scotti and
Jeritza in every performance of Fedora
during the past season.
The Official Piano of the Metropolitan
Opera House has stepped across the foot-
lights into greater fame.

No other single instrument has won en-
dorsement from so many sources as the
Hardman. No other piano has the three-
fold prestige on which to build such a com-
prehensive, forceful selling campaign. The
basic theme of our 1925 advertising is the
preeminence of the Hardman line, including
the Hardman, Harrington, Autotone, Playo-
tone, Standard Player Piano and Reproduc-
ing pianos . . . musically, artistically,
socially.
An assortment of advertisements for dealer
use in electro form are now ready for dis-
tribution. Our new 1925 portfolio illustrates
this unusual series. We will be glad to send
this portfolio to you upon request, detailing
our methods of dealer co-operation.
