THANKS, MR. PIANO BUYER:
1 am extremely thankful for the liberal patronage accorded me during the past short season. Five ears of fine pianos were sold, many to people who had practically de
cided to buy elsewhere, but bought of me because of superior quality and lower price. I would have sold all the pianos bought in this section had the purchasers
known the true facts about pianos and that I was offering far superior values. Eight pianos to my competitor's one is a fine showing, and again I express my thanks.
I leave at once to visit Eastern factories
