See That Great Oak Tree Yonder
on tlie Hill
It defies the wind and plants its feet firm and
deep, and throws out its limbs far and wide, and in
a way balances itself as if to say: "Now I am not
afraid of anything that blows."
- Its tremendous, more than giant strength, is
almost resistless.
A man might well say, "If I were a tree I'd like
to be an oak.
As we are only a Store, we can be only what all
our powers of mind, body, education and experience
make us, and be only too glad if our friends can find
any resemblance between us in the upward sweep
of our ambitions and the upstanding of our
endurance and helpfulness.

One -Two! One -Two!
One - Two - Three-Four !
Remember it the chant of the old-time music
master?
Can't you see him now sitting beside you at the
piano, wagging his head and beating time with a
stubby finger?
You always marveled how such short, fat fingers
could fly over the keys so swiftly and encompass such
crashing chords.
And the hour of your "lesson" was invariably punc
tuated by the shouts of other children at play. Until you
came to wish that Messrs. Czerny et al. had died in their
infancy.
If you finally learned to play the piano you are now
very, very glad of the time you practiced then.
But if you did not? persevere, there has been many
a day when you regretted it
Until the Player -Piano Brought
Good Music to Every Home
All you need to know about music to play a player
piano is that you love it. The instrument will see that
the playing is technically correct. It will even follow
every shade of expression of the master musician who
made the roll, but, if you prefer, you can put your own
expression into it and make it YOUR music. A good
player-piano is far from mechanical.
But a Good Player-Piano Must
First Be a Good Piano
It must be a piano with a NAME and with an
honorable reputation, preferably old enough to have been
tested. A piano whose tones are an inspiration sweet
enough, deep enough, strong enough to carry one to the
harmony-swept heights.
That is the kind of player-pianos you will find in
the Wanamaker Store. These names have a world of
meaning to all musicians
C flickering

We have these famous instruments in player-pianos
and reproducing-pianos in a great many styles at a
great many prices, from $550 to $3150, any of them
