Good pianos sell on their merits. In fact, most of these frantic efforts and elaborate tales of woe about retiring from business (IN WHICH THEY REALLY DO" NOT RETIRE) and all of this stuff about selling you a piano that is really worth $600.00 for only $235.00 or so, is usually the class of sales talk that goes with the sale of a really cheap stencil piano, and remember, the market is flooded with these stencil pianos. (That is, pianos that can be sold at any price almost and still allow the dealer a handsome profit.) If you are in doubt as to the meaning of the word "Stencil," or the origin of a piano or its actual value as a piano, consult the little book - herewith illus trated. These cuts are photographic reproductions from "Musi cal Guide to Piano Quality," and is a recognized authority on Pianos for Only $167. Etc such matters. Each and every piano dealer has one of these books. Ask to see it. Better yet, if you would avoid all the trouble and the risk as to whether the piano is really a good standard make and with the maker's assurance to you of its being a good standard instrument, select a piano bearing the maker's name and upon which is given you a guarantee in writing by the maker as to its worth, including the disposition they would make in the event it goes wrong. (As a matter of fact there is very little chance of a standard, guaranteed piano going wrong.) On the other hand, stencil pianos have no mark of identification connecting them in any way with the maker, consequently you can get no redress in case of faulty construction, to say nothing of the time and trouble and the money spent trying to keep it in tune and repair. You can avoid all of this trouble and expense by simply refusing to consider a stencil piano, for they are posi tively worthless as musical instruments. Go direct to a builder of good, dependable pianos. The Bush & Lane Piano Company are builders and sellers of genuine standard, guaranteed pianos and player pianos. We neither build nor sell new stencil pianos. Bush & Lane pianos are recognized standard throughout the en tire .world. Furthermore, you may purchase a Bush & Lane piano at much less than many stencil pianos are sold for by other deal ers in pianos, and upon reasonable terms.
