Barnum, the great showman, who brought the Swedish Nightingale to this country, conceived the auction idea, charged admission to the sales, and gave the fees to charity. Genin, the Hatter, "The Mad Hatter," they called him, paid $225 for the first ticket to the first New York concert. Boston and Philadelphia tickets sold at $625. But first honors of the entire tour went to Colonel William Ross of Providence, R. I., for $653. The original ticket is now in the possession of his grandson, who brought it to Miss Hempel on the memorable day when Springfield, Mass., turned back the clock more than 70 years and repeated its welcome to Jenny Lind. On the reverse side of the Souvenir Ticket is a picture of Frieda Hempel as Jenny Lind, taken the night of the Historical Centennial Concert—October 6, 1920—celebrating the 100th anniversary of Jenny Lind's birth.

Steinway the instrument of the immortals Then and Now Today, as in the days of Jenny Lind, the Steinway maintains its position as the greatest piano. In every musical center the Steinway is the outstanding instrument —above and beyond all others. It is enthusiastically endorsed by the greatest pianists of the present day—Paderewski, Rachmaninoff, Bauer, Ganz, Hofmann, Samaroff and many others—and also chosen by the greatest artists for their accompaniment in concert. The Steinway may be purchased on convenient terms of payment, if so desired. Sherman, Clay & Co. Sixth and Morrison IRWIN-HODSON
