Admirers of the New Henry F.
Miller Grand May Suggest
Suitable Title.
The Henry F. Miller division of
The Continental Piano Co., Boston,
announces a new Henry F. Miller
grand. This new grand is 5 ft. 2 in.
long, which is about halfway between
the size of the Henry F. Miller Baby
Grand and the size of the Henry F.
Miller Lyric Grand.
This new grand is in a size for
which there is already considerable
demand. The new size and the new
scale will of course give an appre-
ciable refinement of tone and increase
in volume due to the lengthening of
the strings and the increased area of
the sounding board.
The design of this new grand is
typical of the graceful lines of the
other grands, and will make an im-
portant addition to the Henry F.
Miller line.
This new Henry F. Miller pia"no
has not yet been named, as officials
of the company wish to give their
dealers an opportunity to suggest an
appropriate name. If you are a
Henry F. Miller dealer, or if you
have a good suggestion for a name,
send in your suggestion to the gen-
eral offices of The Continental Piano
Co. at 200 Dartmouth street, Boston.
The name of the new piano will
be chosen from the suggestions
sent in.
