However, you will find hundreds of other Piaho, Player and Grand Piano bargains equally as good as those listed below. (Note:—We have included a limited number of our own used instruments in this sale,, as we are compelled to reduce our stock in order to give floor space for the roods that have been moved from the Aeolian salesrooms at 287 N. Pennsylvania street.)

A Word About the Aeolian Company The business of manufacturing musical instruments is one of the oldest and most strongly intrenched industries. Success in this industry is hard to win. The few houses which have achieved even a national reputation have done so as a result of generations of indefatigable effort. The growth of the Aeolian Company is without parallel in the history of music. Scarcely a geneeration ago this house was founded. Today it dominates the music business of the world. The products of its ten great plants cover every part of the civilized world. We are proud to announce that we are the exclusive representative in Indianapolis for the Aeolian Company’s Steinway, Steck, Stroud and famous Weber Pianolas, the wonderful Duo-Art Pianola, the Weber, Steck and Stroud Pianos—the AeolianVocation Phonograph and the new Vocation Records.
