The problem seems at last to have been satisfactorily solved by a most simple and ingenious construction embodied in the pianos of Mason & Hamlin."-From "THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN." Bottom of Grand Pianoforte showing 1ension Rods and Sounding-board Rim Looking Backward Look backward if you want to look into the future of an Emerson Piano The past half-century will show pianos of this make in all kinds of use-Concert Hall, Church, School and the Home. You may see them atter two or three generations have taken lessons on them, and they will still be good sweet toned and serviceable pianos. Ask people who possess an Emerson (for the purchaser of one seldom parts with it) what they thought of it thirty years ago -ten years ago-today? Thus the past becomes a mirror of the future, and proves to you that it pays to buy a piano with a good record - a known quantity, a guaranty of honest workmanship, and a beauty of tone that stays with it to the end.
