C. C. Miller Piano Co., Fort Worth, Installs Instru-
ment in Show Visited by Thousands.
A Gulbransen playerpiano has been provided for
the Home Beautiful Exposition promoted in Fort
Worth, Tex., by the Record of that city. It was in-
stalled by the C. C. Miller Piano company, 402
Houston street, and played no small part in the en-
tertainment of the many hundreds of visitors who
thronged the home for the formal opening and for
subsequent occasions. In noting the fact the Rec-
ord said:
The Gulbransen is made by the Gulbransen-Dick-
inson company of Chicago—a company headed by a
man who has had fifty years' experience in the mak-
ing of musical instruments—a company that stands
second to none in its field.
Mr. Gulbransen has done more than any other man
to develop the player piano industry from the me-
chanical to the artistic, and when he discovered a real
genius by the name of John Martin he engaged him
for an entire year to visit the 800 Gulbransen dealers
in the United States to show them that the Gulbran-
sen was different, and to interest them in the use of
the Martin instruction roll for the Gulbransen.
These instruction rolls enable the person who does
not understand music to play with such artistic effect
that it cannot be detected from hand playing.
STARR LINES SHOWN AT
KANSAS CITY EXPOSITION
Pianos, Phonographs and Gennett Records Consti-
tute Great Attraction at Home Making Show.
One of the foremost attractions in the Better
Monies and Building Exposition recently held in
Kansas City, Mo., was the booth of the Starr Piano
Co., which was in charge of A. J. Robinson, the local
manager. The large line of the Starr Piano Co.,
Richmond, Ind., was notable among the big exhibits
in the great Convention Hail.
The visitors were impressed in a particular way
1 y the fine display of Starr pianos, including Starr
grands in three sizes. The triumphs o-f the Starr
pianos at the great competitive expositions at Cincin-
nati Industrial Exposition in 1880, the Chicago
World's Fair in 1893, the International Exposition in
1897, the St. Louis Exposition in 1904, the Seattle
Exposition in 1909, the Panama California Exposition
in 1915 and others were told about in the award evi-
dences and honors on the walls of the booth.
The Starr Phonograph in its many styles sugges-
tive of appropriate places in artistic homes was a big
feature of the display. The tonal qualities of the
phonograph were well demonstrated with the use of
Gennett records, which too were specially displayed.
GULBRANSEN IN RADIO.
A. Qiiiroga de Permentier, music dealer of Buenos
Aires, Argentina, recently supplied a Gulbransen
playerpiano to the Radio Club Argentine), in that
city. The playerpiano is used in broadcasting music
all over a wide radius of South America.
