DETAIL
The accompaning cut shows Poster No. 8 of the
Gulbransen Go., Chicago, which is notable for its
particularly rich coloring. Few posters of any sort
have ever equalled No. 8 from this standpoint. The
design is simple, the figures are well placed, and the
whole is so handled that the Gulbransen Registering
Piano itself is given dominance as far as the picture
is concerned. Gulbransen dealers will be particularly
pleased with the liberal space allowed for their im-
print, and the way it is set off by itself with white
space all around it.

rooms of the Carl Anderson Piano Co.
