PLAYER-PIANO
Ti $rwmF$rSF
This Player-Piano is made in our own factory
and possesses the durability that is essential to a
good player.
Yet the price of this instrument is 25 to SOer
cent less than you would have to pay a dealer for
an instrument of like merit.
Although it is hard for piano buyers to judge
the merit of pianos (they all sound good in the sales
9 rooms), it does not take much intelligence to realize
that the maker of an article who has been manufac
turing a certain commodity for over a quarter of a
century and selling to the home direct can sell cheaper
than the dealer who must buy from some out-of-town
maker before selling you.
If you want a Player-Piano that is beyond criti
cism musically, that is durable and sold at a saving to
you of 25 to 30 per cent, you should at least see this
Cunningham-Forrest Player-Piano, which has earned
a reputation for durability and musical effectiveness.
