riiOF. E. 0. EXCELL, whose music is sung round 

 the //lobe. 



The Epworth Piano I bought of you for my borne 

 is a superior instrument. There i6 a clearness, depth, 

 and richness in its tone which is particularly pleas- 

 ing. 1 can safely recommend the Epworth to my 

 friends. 



Chicago, 111. 

 PROF. CHARLES H. GABKIEL, the well-known 

 composer of Sunday-School music. 



For years I have used the Epworth in my studio; 

 it is an exceptionally 6weet-toned instrument. I feel 

 that I can strongly recommend these pianos, because 

 I know them to be good, and believe them to be the 

 best obtainable for the price.

W. 11". HIXSHA TV, President of the Chicago Conser- 

 vatory of Music, Auditorium Building. 

 For the last 8 years I have used the Epworth piano 

 in my studio, where it i6 subjected to the severest 

 test and strain, being used on an average of 8 hours 

 per day, but it stands the test and in a surprising 

 way. Its tone is liquid and sympathetic, making it 

 a splendid instrument to sing with. With this expe. 

 rience 1 can recommend the Epworth without 

 reserve.

Epworth Pianos Are Extra- 

 Sweet Toned 



In these days when competition in the piano business is so intense 

 and the struggle for low price so fierce, it almost sounds unbusiness- 

 like for us to acknowledge the truth about Epworth Pianos. 



Nevertheless here are the facts : 



— Epworth Pianos are expensively made. Yes, that's exactly what 

 we mean — expensively. 



— And what is more, they are most expensively made in the very 

 parts which do not show. 



— And more yet, if we ever feel compelled to cheapen any part we 

 will begin on the parts which do show, and continue to make the hidden 

 or musical parts the best they can be made. 



— Yes, we know that seems to be reversing the U6ual order of 

 things. 



— But you just stop long enough to conjure up the names of say 

 the half-dozen most famous " makes " of pianos. 



— And you will instantly recall the fact that in every piano tone 

 quality is, and always has been, theflrst consideration, and no expense 

 was spared to produce the finest tone results. 



— There may be several ways of making a. financial success in the 

 piano-making business. 



— But there is only one way to make a piano which will command 

 the respect of discriminating musicians. And it's the old-fashioned, 

 conservative, painstaking way, and it is necessarily expensive. 



— And that's the way we make our Epworth Pianos; and that's 

 why they will never be very popular with bargain hunters. 



— Nevertheless, they are worth every dollar they cost.
