Their instruments cost us less than any others of supposedly equal grade. We can sell cheaper because we buy cheaper. WE DEAL directly with the manufac turers. We arc, in fact, one of the two thousand representative that consti tute the House of Baldwin. The instruments pass directly from the factory to us. We pay no profits to jobbers or middlemen of any kind. The only amount we pay above the actual cost of making is the manufacturing profit.
