The C. A. House Co. of Wheel-

ured in a newspaper advertisement
a full page in length the 150,000th
Autopiano made by the Autopiano
Company of New York. It is in-
teresting to note that the C. A.
House Co. are featuring the 150,-
000th Autopiano in conjunction
with a sale to commemorate the
event. A reduced fac similie of
the advertisement appears here-
with. Of the many tributes paid to
the Autopiano Co. the announce-
ment of the C. A. House Co., is in-
teresting and instructive. In their
announcement the C. A. House Co.
says:
"When an organization achieves
the singular distinction of building
one hundred and fifty thousand
playerpianos, within a short span
of 20 years, it is obvious that the
product of such an organization
must be rendering a service that is
both constant and far reaching. The
Autopiano Company of New York
have accomplished this. And in
selecting the C. A. House Co. as the
recipient of the 150,000th Auto-
piano, they have conferred upon
us an honor that we cannot help
but construe as a marked tribute
to the reputation we have estab-
lished among the music loving pub-
lic of Wheeling. * * * * * *
"The Autopiano is the instru-
ment of Kings, Pontiffs, Eminent
Musical Celebrities, the United
States Army and Navy, and has by
its musical and mechanical excel-
lence won a secure place in thou-
sands of discriminating homes.
From the standpoint of serviceabil-
ity and musical excellence it is the
ideal playerpiano for the home."
