Columbus, the Discoverer
of America
had the courage of his convictions imd, as
usual, was the object of envy and jeal
ousy by the rich Spanish courtiers, who
never did anything but (latter themselves
and the king.
The old story of Columbus making
an egg stand on its end is well worth re
membering. ' The way Columbus actually
'did it is this:
Upon an occasion of a banquet, where
I.Columbus was the guest of honor., some
of the people at the table belittled the dis
covery, saying it was mere dumb animal
persistence and a species of "did not
know what to do next" that led Columbus
to push his boat, the "Caraval," a few
leagues farther on, and a mere matter of
chance and of but little consequence.
Columbus, sitting by and hearing
what was said, took an egg from the dish
on the table, proposed that they should
show their ingenuity by making the egg
stand on its end.
The egg traveled all around the table
and no one succeeded.
Columbus then took it in hand and,
breaking it at one end, it stood at once..
They all shouted: "Why, I could
,have""done that!"
"Yes," said Columbus, "if the
thought struck you; and if the thought
struck you and you had gone at it, you
might have discovered America."
It is not uncommon for neoole to sit
still and find fault with what others do,
but the man who thinks and acts on his
thought has the best chance of winning
something for his labor.

The Superiority of the
Ampico Reproducing
Piano Is Too Marked
to Be Denied
There is really no basis of compari
son between the Ampico Reproducing
Piano and any other reproducing or
player-piano, because the principles
are entirely different.
You may have heard all the other
player types and not realize, until you
have heard the Ampico, how marvel
ously the human performance can be
reproduced.
The reason for this is that the Am
pico records are all made by vibration
of the piano wires, whereas the. ordi
nary player-piano records a note,
through the impression made by a
punch on the roll.
In the latter case the impression
ends when pressure is removed from
the key. In the Ampico record the
sound registers as long as the note"
SINGS. It reproduces what musi
cians term the "chemistry of tone."
In the Wanamaker Piano Store
you will find live of the most cele
brated pianos of America incorpo
rated into Ampico reproducing pianos.
Chickerinff Ampico uprights
and grands.
Schomacker A mpico uprights.
Haines Bros. A m pic o up
rights. Marshall and Wendell Am
pico uprights.
The celebrated Knabe A mpico
uprights and grands.
You are cordially invited to hear
them play. You will be under no obli
gation whatever, and you will hear an
entertainment that will amaze you.
Any Ampico reproducing piano is
purchasable on the same terms as any
other piano.
