EIGHTH : NINTH is for the only time offered at large concession of price andtn partial payments within the reacli of all through co-operation with its renowned makers Messrs. Hardman, Peck & Co., of New York City We recently purchased the entire stock of two wonderfully attrac tive models, and the makers will. have to develop new case models to replace them. The Hardman Piano is the official piano of the Metropolitan Opera Company the most distinguished musical .organization in the world. For three-quarters of a century the Hardman has enriched our national home life by reason of its rich s6nority of tone, delicacy of touch and unsurpassed durability. The Hardman Autotone is famous as being this regal piano plus a playing mechanism perfected by its builders, who develop the Hard man Autotone as a musical unit, building up the piano and player attachment as an harmonious whole the resultant instrument having a purity of tone impossible with Player-pianos formed by attaching within the case or sound-chamber an extraneous mechanisni 'that can only tend to rob the piano of its own goodness. Listen! This r Perfect Player -Piano has every particle of resonance and tonal purity of the fine old Hardman. The added quality of self-playing brings its utmost useful ness within the reach of those without musical training as well as of those who have, rnade music the study of their lives. The Hardman Autotone is to the Hardman line what the most wonderfully-perfect watch is to the world of watches.
