Steinway Style M Gnuid Piane (S ft 7 in. length) demonstrates
that Steinway -work is mere comprehensive than labor joint
effort of hand, brain and heart a co-ordination of effort cementing
innumerable "trifles" into the completeness of perfection. Ne one
thing about a Steinway is tee insignificant te be done at its best, just
as no difficult problem of acoustics has been tee great for exact
analysis by Steinway genius. That is why Steihways are in a class
by themselves and always breaking paths toward new goals of
musical attainment. Style M, in mahogany, $1375. Time payments,

' Back in the '90's remember the "big
sticks" which literally darkened the streets
of Philadelphia?
In these days poles with open wire and numerous
cress arms were a triumph of the telephone art.
But cable is the thing today. As many as 3000 wires
arc new enclosed, within a sheath no bigger 'round than
a man's wrist.
If all the Bell lines which center today at Bread
and Chestnut Streets were of old time construction, a
pole 1 ,000 feet high with 520 cress arms and 5,200 wires
would be standing at that corner. It would be nearly
twice as high as City Hall Tower.
But the mere disappearance of the old heavily
leaded pole lines is net the important thing.
Progress is te be expected and progress always
toward better and mere reliable service and always
toward a mere economical service, even though it be
extended te the Gulf, the Middle West, the Coast, or
wherever American business is transacted.
In cable, switchboard, instrument and operation
this progress is steadily going en. Every day brings a
new improvement, a new economy from some point in
the Bell System north, cast, south or west.
And it is always available right here in Philadel
phia. That's what makes Bell Service the standard of the
world.
