"How true is the saying 'that one;

Operated by foot or electric power
Trade your silent piano on an Apollo Player Piano, and enliven
the home .zith music of the highest order. There are certain
things, however, you should know before you invest your money
in a player piano.
Do you know that the Apollo accents the mel
ody forreotly or omits it altogether,
yilay injr only the accompaniment, and
plays that accompaniment in any one
of eight different keys?
Do you know that no other player piano in
the world can do this? . ,
Do you know that the Metronome Motor of
the Apollo, which is as finely built a
piece of mechanism ' as a high grade
watch, rewinds the music with a touch.,
of the lever and prevents i'ast or slow
pedaling, affecting the tempo of the
music.
Do ycu know that the Apollo is the only in
strument of its kind containing the Met
ronome Motor?. !
Do you know that by right of basic patents
no other player piano, is permitted to
touch down on the keys, so that only
the Anollo and human beings play cor

These arc but a few of the rriany fea
tures which have put the Apollo where
it is today, and we'll give proof of
every claim we make.

than other high grade instruments
