steinway's Valuable Patent.

by a patented construction all our
upright pianos the entire front portion with
action, keyboard, consoles and feet can be
detached from the body of the case, thereby
reducing the latter to a depth of twelve
inches, and permitting the piano to be
transported over the narroweSt stairs and
through the smallest door" Such was our
experience yesterday when we took the
piano apart in three sections First
front with keys second action, third
back of case containing strings and steel
frame Steinway's Pianos are the only
Pianos with steel frames Call other makes
are IRON, cast in their own foundry We
put the Piano together again in the paIlOr
of the purchaser without a scratch ON the
case. Time used in the wareroom, 10 miu-
ubes, and i'll the parlor 10 minutes. We give
this information to our customers who have
lately purchased Steinway Uprights of the
quckneSS and ease a Steinway can be
moved. 1t saves the help of three men.
We also beg to inform the musical public
that we do not under dnv circumstances
place our pianos in the house of an ex-
pected purchaser on trial. Our pianos are
of such exalted and tried reputation that the
name stamps the instrument as first-class.
To give the purchaser piano on a month
or two trial does not amount to anything,
as the most inferior rattlebox, called a
piano, will certainly stand the trial, but
how it will be after six or twelve months
is another question. The expecta-
ton, however, that such trial
piano will be finally purchased
as the family would not have it returned or
that the neighborS might talk about it, is
the primary objects of such trial" bust
ness. At the North, only the poorest, stem
ell fraud Pianos are offered on trial Daniel
Beatty, who is now under indictment in the
United States Court of New jersey for
fraud and swindle, was one of the heaviest
advertisers to send Pianos and Organs on
trial. Our instruments are exposed for
sale in our store, like any other
merchant does his goods: we sell
them to those who favor us with a
call; and in case of sale with their conf
dence in our word and guarantee. Neither
do we invade the home or business place of
any party upon the information that they
intend to purchase piano, and by these
methods solicit sales. We shall be happy
to call on any family by special invitation.
but the instrument never leaves our prem
ises until a sale is made. We never feel the
slightest concern about the future of our
pianos. Our guarantee secures the pur-
chaser.
We have done business on that plan for
the past thirty-five years. We do not pro
pose TO change it even if we never sold an
other instrument. We would have to
change the quality of our goods and adopt
the new style of sharp" "shrewd" practice.
We will do neither. The best goods at
reasonable prices have not yet failed to give
us share of Savannah patrOnage-we do
not specially cater for any other unless it
comes of its own accord-and we do not
want or would feel more happy and CON
tent if 1--WE owned the whole earth and that
fenced in"
On Tuesday next we expect new lot of
Steinway Pianos, among them one of their
finest Parlor Grands. To their examination
we give all cordial invitation. We shall test
them, as we still believe we can draw some
music, particularly out of the Incompatible
SteinUdy.
