An advertisement for the Wurlitzer Motion Picture Orchestra organ from C. W. Lindsay Limited Pianos noting purchases by local theatres. F.W. Carling's theatre at 126 Sparks was the Flower Theatre (later named the Strand)

Inscription: HEADQUARTERS FOR PIANOS, PLAYER-PIANOS AND VICTROLAS | Wurlitzer Motion Picture Orchestra | SOLD TO F. W. Carling FOR NEW THEATRE at 126 Sparks St. | The cost of installing this marvellous instrument will mean an expenditure of | thousands of dollars. It is the wonder of the musical age since it combines | 27 different instruments all under the control of one operator. While the | initial cost is great, it is designed to take the place of a full orchestra and will | mean an ultimate saving to the management. | Progressiveness leads surely to success, | and the enterprise of Mr. Caring in buying | such an extremely valuable instrument for | his new theatre cannot be too highly com- | mended. | We also sold a Wurlitzer Motion Pic- | sure Orchestra recently to the Empire | Theatre, Bank Street. | Sole Agents for Wurlitzer Instruments in Eastern | Ontario and Province of Quebec. Prices range | from $600 to $20, 000. Call or write for particulars. | C. W. LINDSAY LIMITED PIANOS 189 Sparks St.
