Independence, Oregon 'i him ky the Family Jl maker has his own reason for putting his name on a piano. It Is a ceedltable piece of work. He Is willing to assume the responsibility for Its future. Makers who send ut pianos without their factory Imprint have their own reasons also. Stenciling on the name board any name that strikes a retailer's fancy their own. personality dots not appear in the attra tlon at all; why, then. Invite trouble? The dealers who sell these father less "stencil" Instrumenta-sell them, recommend them, do everything but become accountable for them How can they? Their Interest in a piano that bean ono name this year, another the next must be more or less transient. Tho purchaser cares nothing about that. He does care, though about the instrument wearing well. Not for one year nor for ten, but long after the deal er may have and doubtless haa, gone out of business.
