If your home lacks the warmth and good influence that
music ALONE can bring.you owe it to yourself and family
to investigate the extraordinary Player-Piano proposition
we offer.
Selecting a Player-Piano.is a much more serious matter
than buying an ordinary piano for hand playing.
A Player-Piano must be ready to do work for hours, day in and clay
out, and there are few Player-Pianos that are both artistic and
trouble proof.   Of these few the
Aiitopiano aad MeMin Playe-Piano
have  established   themselves    as    the    SAFEST,    SOLIDEST    and
SIMPLEST Player-Pianos made.
