New Catalog of Packard Piano Company, Fort
Wayne, Ind., Impresses the Refine-
ment of Its Artistic Line
of Grands.
A new catalog of the Packard Piano Co., Fort
Wayne, Ind., tells an unusual story and one to im-
press everybody interested in the means to refinement
in the home. It impresses the fact that the Packard
piano means culture, dignity, artistry and tonal per-
fection in pianos.
The story should be interesting when it tells about
a model industry in which the cooperative system of
labor is brought to the point of perfection. The re-
sult of this is the production of pianos built under
the most ideal circumstances. It is the application of
a principle of the Packard Piano Company expressed

HE New Tonk Manufacturing- Co.—a consolidation
of The Logansport Furniture Co., The Piano IJench Division
of the S. E. Overtoil Co.\ and the fifty year old Tonk Manu-
facturing Co.—takes the position that: a piano bench, match-
ing- in quality, style, color and finish, the piano with which it is to be used,
is an essential and an important part of every piano sale and that to jeopardize
customer satisfaction in the matter of piano benches is dangerous.
We recognize the fact, of course, that as there is a wide variation
in piano values, there must necessarily be a similar variation in piano benches
—and we are ready to meet your demands style for style, at prices which you
will always find as low as the necessary quality can be sold for.

materials, workmanship, color and finish, it will fit perfectly into your sales
of lower priced and rebuilt instruments.

in the maxim: "If there is no harmony in the factory,
there will be none in the piano."
Operations in the big piano plant in Fort Wayne
present the happy result of harmonious industry. Suc-
cess is the aspiration; loyalty the motive. Every
worker is loyal to the Packard and that emotion
evokes the best skill of which he is capable. The
Packard has been before the musical world for years,
in which its triumphs have been continuous and
enduring. Packard grands are favored by musicians
new and a remarkably improved K. D. Construction, and with either plain or
upholstered tops, challenge in quality, style, finish and stability, anything ever
offered in a knocked-down bench and the saving- in freight and storage on the
Overtoil K.D.'s is an item well worth any piano merchant's consideration.
To those who prefer a set up bench and especially to those who are seeking*
benches for the finest uprights and grands, we offer the firmly established
TONKBENCH AND LOGANSPORT LINES f
(With Plain or Upholstered Tops)

Reg-ardless of the style, finish, color or quality of the piano, you
wish to match—We can meet your specifications and there will never be any
question about your satisfaction, or the satisfaction of your customers.
The door of The Tonk Manufacturing Company is wide open in
welcome to every piano merchant and manufacturer.
If in the past, Tonkhenches, Overton K.D.'s or Logansport Benches
have seemed to meet particularly well the demands of your trade—We assure
you of a continuation of those things which won your approval in the past.
PACKARD PIANO, STYLE "ADAM."
because of the artistic qualities essential to good
piano performance. And the best proof of the merits
of the Packard grands is the steady growth and con-
tinuity of their appeal to musically cultured people.
The Packard small grand Style R is a model that
possesses all the requirements of discriminative piano
buyers today. It is truly "the one small grand with
a real grand tone." Packard grand Style Adam,
which is shown herewith, is another of the artistic
models which sustain the character for excellence of
the company.
SAUL DORFMAN IN RECITAL.
Saul Dorfman, who won the first prize last year in
the piano contest by the Chicago American and the
Piano Club of Chicago, appeared in recital last week
with Mary Krakowski, soprano, in Curtiss Hall of
the Fine- Arts Building, under the management of
Jessie B. Hall.
If you have had no a c q u a i n t a n c e with a n y of these three, o u t s t a n d -
ingly successful lines, we invite you to put us to the test—to discover that
better quality, greater value and dependable service which the consolidation
of the Tonk, Overton and Logansport interest has brought about.
