Is Universally Acknowledged to be The Standard Piano of the World NOT only is its tone matchless in quality as well as quantity, but ITS DURABILITY STANDS UNRIVALLED. Acomparison with other pianos will easily establish the former, while the mighty host of satisfied owners with whom the pur-chase of a Steinway has proved an investment for life should substantiate the latter. The liberal patronage of the great steam-ship lines is a very striking recognition of this fact. They soon learned that there is but one piano which could and would with-stand the extremes of temperature, frequent and rapid climatic changes and excessive dampness, the very arch-enemies of pianos,and hence you find the Steinway in the salons of such ocean greyhounds and floating palaces as the Deutschland, Amerika,Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, Baltic, Cedric, Oceanic, Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, Lucania, Campania, NieuwAmsterdam, Minnesota, Dakota, Northland, Northwest, Empress of Britain, Empress of Ireland, etc., etc.
