Three Giant Strides In Piano Playing “Eleven years of actual use, its popularity continually enhanced by improve- ments, until it now stands as nearly perfect as human brains and ingenuity have been able to make it.” This is the history of the Angelus Player Piano, as its manu- facturers recount it. Three exclusive features put it in a class by itself, they declare. These they call : The Melodant, which enables the performer to emphasize the air above the accompan'ment like the glistening ripples on the steadily flowing stream. The Phrasing Lever, which affords a control of tempo possible for the Angelus alone. The Artistyle system of roll marking, which enables the performer to give a pleasing interpretation and musicianly rendition to any composition, Their success is attracting public attention to the Angelus through the medium of Ainslee’s Magazine, as is told in the following letter, which has been forwarded to Ainslee’s through the Frank Presbrey Co., who prepare the Angelus advertisements; MR. C. C. VERNAM, Meriden, Conn., Jan, 20, 1909. General Manager Airslee’s Magazine, New York, N.Y. Dear Sir:—We congratulate you on the enormous number of sales we have made through advertising in Ainslee’s Magazine. No medium we have used brings us a larger percentage of results, and this percentage is growing every year. We find that Ainslee’s reaches the same classes of people the general magazines do, and is largely read in the homes, especially by women, You will continue to have our business, Yours very truly, WILCOX & WHITE, Makers of the Angelus. Thousands of users of the Angelus have learned of it through the advertising pages of Ainsiee’s Magazine. Ainslee’s was selected by the makers of the Ange/us as one of the best means of reaching the largest possible number of American homes. They found the regular monthly circulation of Ainslee’s to be 250,000 copies per month, The rate $250 per page. The makers of the Ange/us believe that the rate charged, in proportion to the number of homes reached, makes advertising in Ainslee’s the most economical advertising. The same advantages enjoyed by the makers of the Angelus and by hundreds of other advertisers are available to you. Do you need any more convincing facts? If you do, write to i flere esac General Manager 7th Ave. and 15th St., New York City CALOX The OXYGEN Tooth Powder Prevents Decay Dentists advise its use All Drug: CALOx Kesson & Robbins.
