PRESTO
The little piano shown below, which was created as
a companion for the player, has proven unusually
popular. It meets a v< _-y definite need and is creating
a sensation among discriminating buyers everywhere.
Above is the small player that has created thousands
of prospects for our dealers within a few months. Only
four feet high —yet it has a wealth of beautiful tone.
Highest quality throughout and equipped with our
Artronome action. A genuine beauty.

dress of a prospect who has written us about
these instruments shown above.
These prospects have all been developed
within the last three months because it was
only three months ago that these little instru-
ments were announced to the trade.
who should be in a position to know,
tell us that we have hung up a record for get-
ting prospects. Maybe that's true; we don't
know. But we DO know that our dealers say
they have never seen anything like it in all
their experience.
We have been asked how we did it. And the
only reply we can give runs something like this:
We knew the public had been waiting for
fine quality with a little less bulk—and so
we got busy and produced what was wanted.
Then we created a merchandising campaign
that would bring the new instruments to
the attention of the greatest number in the
shortest time. Twenty thousand prospects in
the first three months came in as the logical
result of our planning.
So there you are!

The Patented Pendulum Valve shown
here is the heart of the famous Artro-
nome player action, built by Straube
and installed only in Straube-made in-
struments. Its unique design absolute-

two arch enemies of player piano
efficiency. Positive dependability and
ease of operation are the outstanding
characteristics of the Artronome.
