H. C. BAY COMPANY'S
HELPS FOR RETAILERS
Effective Daily Newspaper Advertising of Re-
producing Grand This Week Part of
Admirable Policy of House.
The H. C. Bay Company, Chicago, employs an
effective newspaper advertising policy for the bene-
fit of dealers handling the H. C. Ray Company
pianos, players and reproducing pianos. In the Chi-
cago Tribune of last Sunday an attractive spread told
of the desirable qualities of the II. C. Ray Reproduc-
ing Grand.
"When you consider the high prices in the exclu-
sive line piano class, you may wonder why the II. C
I'ay Reproducing Grand with everything desirable in
quality, tone and beauty of finish stands alone at such
a reasonable price. The answer is standardized vol-
ume production in one of the largest piano plants
in the world, and the fact that it is sold throughout
I he country by reliable dealers at a uniform price.
This enables you to obtain, at a price you can afford,
an instrument you have long desired and will be
proud to have in your home.
"The 11. C. Bay Reproducing Grand is electrically
operated and brings the playing of the master pianists
of our time into your own home. The great music
is at your command—rendered exactly as if the
famous artists themselves were at the keyboard.
Plays the Q R S. Recordo Rolls as well as the other
standard 88-note rolls.
Played by hand it is just as enjoyable in your
own interpretation of classical, popular or dance
selections. The most simple in mechanism and oper-

FROM THE BIGGEST
ORCHESTRION
Considerable has of late been said about the Grin-
nell Bros, opening a branch house in Chicago. The
big Detroit house has so many branches that the
rumor is not surprising. But Grinnell Bros, is busy
with large interests all over Michigan and realize
that Chicago is a "tough town" in piano competition.
However, the rule of "more the merrier" holds good
in the best of all lines of business, and a Grinnell
house would be welcomed.

FOR
The Martin Music Co.. Los Angeles. Calif., re-
cently installed Hazeltou Brothers pianos made by
the Hazelton Brothers, Inc., Xew York, in thirty-
l\vo schools in that city. The school authorities there
are keenly discriminating in the selection of pianos
intended for school use, ior they appreciate the im-
portance of music to growing children. They know
the good effect a fine-tone instrument has on suscept-
ible young ears, and they also know well how dam-
aging even the slightest falseness of tone would be
when heard day after day during the school year.
It is to the Hazelton piano in actual use, more than
to any other influence, that the steady, healthy
growth of demand for these instruments is to be
credited. Its durability and general high quality have
given lasting satisfaction to the schools where it has
been in use for some time, and this accounts for its
increasing use in this held.
