It enables you to play the kind of music you like best. At will you can change from the classical works of the great masters to the popular “hits”of the day. At a family musicale or when dancing the latest Tangos, Hesitations, or Maxixes, the Player- Piano is indispensable. Every member of the family can play it without any previous knowledge of music. The Combination of A Reliable House Like “Bloomingdales” AND A Reliable Piano Like the “WALTERS” {s a Guarantee of Satisfaction tam tah tes Cosriase oliehes sol tian Geaee assures perfect protection to every purchaser of a Piano or Player-Piano here. The “Walters” represents all that is best in Piano con- struction. Its tremendous popularity is due to its wonderful record of reliability. More than 38,000 satiefied owners of Walters Pianos and Player-Pianos bear out that fact Bloomingdale Brothers, as the sole owners of the Wal- ters Piano Manufacturing Company, were enabled to inaugurate a factory-to-home method of selling Pianos and Player-Pianos, thus presenting to the New York public the unusual opportunity to secure instruments of established reputation at prices less the middleman's profit. This profit consists of the Dealer's, the Agent's, or the Teacher's commissions. As manufacturing retailers, Bloomingdale Brothers were guided with but one ambition, ‘to build better instru- ments every day; how well we are succeeding is best demonstrated by the daily increasing demand for Walters Pianos and Player-Pianos.
