A Welte Grand. The Original Welte-Built Welte-Mignon Reperforming Grand Piano The original instrument which astonished the musical world, and for which scores and scores of famous pianists and composers have played their supreme efforts. In Mahogany $2,575 Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart–– our distinguished novelist and a lover of the best in music, has written the foreword to the newly pub- lished Welte-Mignon Catalog, which is a little classic and which we will gladly send you. We quote the following: "Some ten years or so ago a friend took me into her house and showed me the first Welte-Mignon I had ever heard. * * * Since then the strangeness has gone away from such an experience. The marvel of yesterday is the com- monplace of today. But there will never be anything commonplace about hav- ing Grieg himself sit down at your piano, in the twilight with the lamps low and the fire burning, and see the keys go down under the pressure of those artistic fingers, and listening. Just listening to him. Here he had lifted his hands; there he had held that long-sustained note – could I not see him holding it? He was sitting there playing. Here he was gentle, a little sad. Here again he had roused himself into a passion; his heart swelled. He was saying with music those things which one does not say with words- And to think that you can have the most distinguished pian- ists do this same thing in your home – with the Welte-Mignon! You are cordially invited to a demonstration at any time.
