The Steinway embodies the original, creative thought and the hoarded piano-craft of a 

 long line of born piano-builders who have devoted their lives to its perfection. This, in a 

 wor 3, explains the mystery of its supremacy. The Steinway is greater than others because 

 greater skill and genius and more concentrated effort have been put into its making than in 

 that of all other pianos taken together. 



STEINWAY 



upon the fall-board is more than a mere name ; it is an absolute guarantee that not only are 

 Steinway inventions and methods employed in its manufacture, but that it is really built by 

 the Steinways, eight of whom are at present actively engaged in the business. 



When you purchase a Steinway, whether it be a Vertegrand at $500, or a Louis XIV 

 at several times that amount, // is a Steinway from beautiful tone to artistic finish — a Stein- 

 way pure anil simple, requiring no mechanical devices or adventitious aids to recommend it. 



The latest, and in many respects the greatest, triumph of Steinway piano-craft is the Vertegrand. 

 It can be bought from any authorized Steinway dealer, with cost of freight and handling added.
