ERETOFORE the prices and terms asked for grand
pianos have prevented many persons from owning
them, but now, on the new Ludwig Rental Plan, all
rent being applied toward purchase, you can own a
small grand on terms that the average income can easily
meet as it only means a small outlay each week or month.
The Ludwig Small Grand is found in many musical
homes of this city, where it enjoys high favor because of its
artistic tonal qualities and refined appearance, and because
it requires little more space than an upright.
All persons interested in music and fine pianos are
invited to compare the Ludwig Small Grand with any grand
piano made, at any price. Those who have made this com
parison always express preference for the Ludwig. Write
today for free art catalog and prices on our moderate rental
plan.
