George in Ad.
Nothing Else like It
I am for men. I greet them in the evening
after the day's work is done—I turn their minds
from business—I soothe their tired nerves—I re-
fresh their fagged bodies and brains—I quicken
mirth and merriment—I stimulate their love for
good things—I increase the pleasures of their home
life—I enliven the monotony of dull evenings—I
transmit the artistry of master musicians to un-
trained fingers—I kindle new enthusiam—I impart
new happiness—I animate new hopes, new life. I
am the Euphona Inner-Player—a man's piano—a
perfect piano on which the children may take their
lessons, but at the same time an instrument which
the entire household may enjoy—especially the man.
