PRESTO
November 20, 1920.
To Signor Giacomo Puccini, the music world owes much.
His works stamp him as the foremost composer of opera
of the day. The plaudits of the millions proclaim him
as the most worthy successor of the illustrious Verdi.
The hearts that have thrilled to the charm and wizardry
of "Tosca," "La Boheme" and "Madame Butterfly" knozv
the spell of the art produced by Puccini. Of him it is
said:
"When the poet soars the composer follows,
inspired and oftentimes superb music is the
result,"
AN ENDORSEMENT
It is significant that Signor Giacomo Puccini,
an artist who knows music and creates music
and loves music for music's sake and who has
an Autopiano in his home should thus bestow
his unqualified approval upon
The Marvel of Ingenuity
The Triumph of Art and Science
The Musical Achievement of the Age

Gentlemen:
You will be pleased to know that before I had
heard The Autopiano, I had a far different
opinion of player pianos. The Autopiano is a
marvel of art and science combined and the fin; 1
effects which can be obtained by means of Its
ingenious mechanism, either in the great master-
pieces or in the lighter music, give great satisfac-
tion to the player of this instrument. I congratu-
late you.
Sincerely
Immediate and unmistakable is the appeal of
the Autopiano to the cultivated musical taste,
not merely a mechanical device nor a bit of
furniture, this instrument is possessed of a
superb voice. It speaks with feeling, in tones
true, rich and resonant.

In the display of the Autopiano the merchant
may feel a sense of pride as of something
worthy a place in refined homes, and always
he may know that every sale reflects credit
upon his judgment and honor upon his house.
