The Music Trade Review
APRIL 23, 1927
OLD MARKETS
OUR town is probably full of homes whose pianos are anach-
ronisms—that is to say, relics of a former age out of place
today. These pianos were undoubtedly fine instruments—
splendid examples of the "ginger bread" school of decoration. But
they are not first class musical instruments today any more than
they are appropriate for modern schemes of decoration.
Get the idea that, just because a piano will stand up and make a
noise, it is still a good one, out of the minds of your townspeople.
Show them the attractive and appropriate new Autopiano—ex-
plain to them how the Repro-Artistone (our improved and wonder-
ful player) will give them all that their old instrument could give
when it was new, plus the ability to play and interpret their
favorite music, even though they never studied.
You have a staunch ally in the person of every woman of discern-
ment—she doesn't like to see her new and carefully decorated living
room cluttered up with an antiquated monstrosity just as in-
appropriate for it, as a bustle would be for her.
The new Autopianos are offered in period designs and in the
beautiful new lacquer finishes as well as the familiar varnish finish-
Sizes range from 3 ft. 9 up.
Canvass the "old markets" of your town and you will find that
they contain many profitable opportunities.
