Testimonials from e bo,t artists in this country
and Europe.
We fee satisfied that there Pauos made In this
country superior to own.
As Philadelphia manufacturers pride ourse!yes I'm
having achieved q reputation for our Instruments
celtC by any other makers IN tbs country. Il % wc-
krovn fact that Pianos have for many years MANI
taHed their high reputation uowithst ndpg the powerful
competition OF tie EAsteru makers.
New York and Hos Pianos have been 1sOdCd into
this marx through their agencies, horadcd 10y them
tie only Pianos In the country yet at the samo time
thcso agents very seldom continue to sell any one
makers instruments for any length Of time for the
thst they inferior, and they compelled TO take
hold OF other makers, perhaps stil inferior,
although pufod up by them celebrated Pianos, when
ct the same time such makers have never been
known heard Of in their cities. Tho consequence
is that citizens often induced to purchase such
inferior instruments without considering hor own the
general interests OF their city.
The advantages our citizens have In encouraging homo
manufactures certainly should besoverlooked for the
following reasons: =
First 1t Is acknowledged that Philadelphia Is the great
manufacturing city Of this country and celebrated for It's
superior and skllful workuen.
Second The purchaser obtains the piano directly FROM
us, uacturerS and the made by the
agent who usually claims greater profits than the manu-
lecturer
Third. Tho agents responsibility amounts TO nothing,
theIo redress the instrument he sells i made Tor
the mark and the purchaser must the risk Whereas
the other hand, we the manufacturers, are held
respouHb cannot sLirk the responsibility like the
agent. Our reputation IS at stake at all tines and II is
therefore to interest TO turn out none other than hrs
| class Instruments.
| FOurth Admitting that such Instruments might be
equal 70 when new they cannot give the same
satisfaction the leng1h of Time for the
reason that the agent depends upon others keep such
pianos he sells In order and VIII of course not eNpend
any his profits to do whilst the Manufacturers,
have excellent wOrkmen who fully understand
the bu gness, will promptly their attention. and
| tie pianos be made 10 wear much longer.
Our establishment Is Of the most extensive In this
country and when Improvements now In progress
are compile ed II Will be Of the largest In tPe world.
our object make this branch Of industry Of the

If persons deSirous 70 purchase VIII give us call, we
will prove all that have said IN regard TO our pianos
There are, always differences Of opinion, and
preudiced minds and those who Interested In the sal
other pianos who diner from us 10 such we have
Ouyto say, that II would much pleasure at any
time TO test instruments with any other make which
