We feel satisfied that there are Pianos made In this
country superior 10 our
As Philadelphia manufacturers we pride ourselves In
having achieved reputation for instruments unex-
eeledby any other makers In this country. II Is well
Known fact that Pianos have FOR many years main
taned their high reputation Notwithstanding the powerful
competition Of the Eastern makers.
New York and Bos on Pianos have been flooded into
this market through their agencies herAlded by them
as tile only Pianos in tho country yet At the time
these tSme agents very seldom continue to sell any
makers instruments for any length OF time for the reason
that they inferior, and they compelled to take
hold Of other makers, perhaps sun more inferior
although pued up by them celebrated Pianos when
at the same time such makers have never been
known or heard Of in their cities. Tho consequence
f. that our citizens arc often induced to purchase such
inferior instruments without considering their own or tbe
general interests OF their city.
The advantages citizens have In encouraging home
manufactures certainly should beIoverlooked for the
following reasons
First II is acknowledged that Philadelphia is the great
manufacturing city Of this country celebrated for It's
superior and skilul woTkmOn.
Second The purchaser obtains the plano directly from
u.s. the manufacturers and the amount made by the
agent who usually claims greater PROFITS than the manu-
fscturer.
Third. The agents responsibility amounts to nothing
there no redress; the instrument he sells made
the MARKET and the purchaser the risk Whereas
on the Other hand We the manufl are held
responsible and cannot shiTk the responsibility like the
agent Our reputation Is at stake Rt all times and II is
therefore 10 our interest to turn out other than hs
class instruments.
Fou'lh. Admitting that such instruments might bo
equal 10 our own when new they cannot give the

reason that The agent depends others keep such
pianos AZ he sells In order, ana Will Of eXpend
