(fourth rinor, MiirUct) The Masters of Music May Dwell in Your Home s We cam all do our work butter if vu live with boun tiful influences. Good pictures, good books. GOOD MUSIC and perhaps good music most of all lift us to tho highest enjoyment of life, and therefore to tho best performance of our duties. It is so easy to have in our homes this splendid inspiring power'of GOOD MUSIC. Even though there bo hot a gifted musician in the household. The mechanical player-piano has long made music possible in the homes where no one played. Rut people of fine sensibility have objected to the mechanical effect of some player-pianos. They could play tl e tunes oh, yes; but usually in a dead, lifeless way. Rut now conies The Ampico THE MARVELOUS REPRODUCING PIANO utterly to eliminate that objection THE AMPICO, as a famous writer has said, "dif fers from the ordinary player-piano as a living, healthy man differs from a wax figure or a carved statue. It has life." It does, indeed, seem as if a master musician must be seated at the keys of this superb instrument, so perfect is its reproduction, not only of the composition, but of the HUMAN TOUCH, the characteristic and individual EXPRESSION of the great artists from whose playing its records were made. With the Ampico in your home, it is possible to have there at command the music of Reethoven. Chopin, Mendelssohn and all the great masters whose compo sitions you have perhaps longed to play. Equally it provides you with the old ballads, the popular songs, the best dance music, if you like. It is perfect piano-playing, this of THE AMPICO. "To me," says the- famous writer quoted above, "the AMPICO IS A CONTINUAL MIRACLE AND SUR PRISE." Only at Wanamaker's irf this marvelous Arnpico to bo found in Philadelphia. It may be obtained in the Chickering, Schomacker, Haines Rros., Marshall & Wen dell and the celebrated Knabe pianos. Sold on convenient terms, as all other Wanamaker pianos.
