French & Sons’ Player Pianos 
Art Products of a High Degree of Excellence 
and Exceeding Good Value 
With wealth of tone and unequaled construction, the French & Sons’ 
Player Piano places at your finger-tips the complete technique of 
piano-playing—ability to sound correctly the notes of the most difficult 
composition—to play loud or soft—fast or slow—staccato or legato— 
to “bring out” the melody and 
subdue the accompaniment. 
Any musical effect is pos¬ 
sible with this player. 
As a hand-played instru¬ 
ment, not the faintest trace of 
mechanism is noticeable—it is 
superb. As a player the 
French is incomparable. It 
has many automatic devices 
not possessed by other players. 
One touch of the hand changes 
it from a player to a hand 
instrument and vice versa, 
locking the keys and bringing 
the pedals into position—all 
automatically and accom¬ 
plished in an instant. 
The Automatic Music Roll 
Adjuster forces the roll to 
track properly over the bar, 
insuring absolutely perfect rendition. The pneumatic self-clean¬ 
ing device on the tracker-bar is another exclusive point of 
excellence. A great many other desirable features, exclusive to the 
French & Sons’ Player-Piano, are described and demonstrated fully in 
our beautiful illustrated Booklet, sent free to any address. Do not 
decide on any piano before you have this booklet. It is our 
business to please you. Write to-day to

Gertrude 
BY EDWARD HUNGERFORD 
Author of 4 Little Corky,** “The Modern Railroad.** etc 
din GERTRUDE, the reader of this strong, 
enveloping romance will find a marked 
contrast with the average drawing-room 
heroine, the wishy-washy, doll-like young 
woman whose province is only to be loved 
and won. Gertrude is a real American girl, 
the kind of a girl who is to-day achieving 
the big things of life, and her story is told 
with rare insight, humor and realism.

“A G 
em 
of 
Lo 
ve Story” 
—Brooklyn Eagle 
Six years alone on a little 
island in the Indian Ocean! 
What could Zalia Thorne 
know about love — having 
been marooned when she was 
twelve years old? How could 
she have existed in the great 
loneliness of this tropical 
island? Barry Carshall, a 
wanderer from New York, is 
shipwrecked and finds Zalia. 
And in the life of these Iso- 
. . . . lated Two—their adventures 
and the situations that arise — there is wonderfully appealing romance. The dia¬ 
logue sparkles and glows like the embers of a driftwood fire. 
“Most admirable * * * with every element of interest and with a dramatic 
movement that continues from beginning to end.”—Buffalo News.
