The Man who Buys a Jerry-Built House Drawing of a house with workmen on ladders repairing its roof, watched by its owner —— lives to regret it THE jerry-built house may look all right. In its new paint and stucco it may seem a bargain. But after you've lived in it a year or two you begin to doubt the wisdom of your in- vestment. It's the same with the jerry-built Player Piano—the cheap, inefficient instrument of which great numbers are now offered to the public. It may look all right in the glitter of its new and polished case. It may even sound all right—at first. But time finds it out. A year or two and its poor construction and in- ferior quality manifest themselves—to your regret. Avoid, then, the jerry-built instrument. When you buy a player look for and insist on quality. Choose a make which time has proven. Buy a LINCONOLA PLAYER PIANO World Famed for Quality THE LINCONOLA has been on the market for many years.
