nized classics, or any other music in which hechances to delight.

The Kimball 88-Note Player PianoA Means of Artistic GrowthHis own incomplete insight is broadened and developed,

musical interest is quickened and invigorated, and heIS the equal to the artist whose technique and correct

interpretation represents a life-time of labor, and he is

always in practice.

The House of Kimball^=^= 1857—1911 ==================

FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS the house of W. W. Kimball has

been doing business in Chicago. In magnitude the business of this

institution today is vastly greater than any other of its kind anywhere.

Its products are not only recognized by the greatest musical authorities, but

they have also become household words throughout this country.

The products consist of

Kimball Grand Pianos

Kimball Upright Pianos

Kimball Pipe Organs for church and home

Kimball Reed OrgansKimball 88-Note Player Pianos

This firm received from the World's Columbian jury the most sweeping

award ever given pianos and organs ; the award stated specifically that it

represented the "highest standard of excellence in all branches

of its manufacture/*

The Trans-Mississippi Exposition at Omaha honored them with a

diploma and the only gold medal awarded any piano.

The International Jury of Awards of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposi-

tion at Seattle, 1909, conferred the diploma, unanimously giving the GrandHighest Award to Kimball Pianos, Grand and Upright, and Kimball

Pipe Organs.

Kimball Pipe Organs occupy a leading position in the most prominent

churches and private residences from New York to San Francisco. The

strength of their position is due largely to the Kimball Tubular Pneumatic

Action, the only action of its kind, and which is guaranteed exclusively in the

Kimball Pipe Organs by Letters Patent from the United States Government.

The abihty of this firm to furnish the greatest value for the money is

due largely to the fact that they make all component parts of their instru-

ments, and are not merely assemblers of these parts as made in the shops of

various manufacturers. This is equally true of the reed organ, the upright

piano, the grand piano (which is, indeed, a modern masterpiece), the

Kimball pipe organ, and any and every part of the Kimball product.
