How Is the pinnn Isnsinrss ?

When customers in fact or prospective ask that question We ut once come to the conclusion that they are slightly inteles ed and exert ourselves accordingly to make him or her more so.
 When an agent in the same line of busi- ness propounds the question with grave countennnce, our opinion is at once formed that he is desirous of asccrtaining the exact condition of the business in general, and answer him accordingly.
 Who creates a demand for pianos and organs: Why good, live, smart agents They are the intermediate, so to speak, between the manufacturers and the people. Into their hands is confdeQ the delicate task of convinc- ing if possible, the customers that they really need the instrument for social and above all, educational advancement of their children. How often we are met with the argument that no piano or organ was thought of in their younger days, even as a luxury, to say. nothing of it's being a valuable acquisition and help to educa- ton. That as thus far they have been able to make their way in the world without it surely the children should be content to do the same. Such customers forget that the progress of time is of any value to the human race. Could they have their way the world would be turned | back and the present generation no better | advanced in the art of music than the preceding one, a condition of affairs ur- desirable. Such people are to be pitied rather than condemned from the stand point of one idea, like father like child. Happily the fraternity dccs not number customers of that class in the majority and they usually find themselves left by | t tleir more progressive neighbOrs awaken | ing too late to the fact that the neighbor's child has by this very instrument of edu. cation far eclipsed theirs in the struggle for supremacy in the battle of life.
 To our brother agents we offer Il e sug 1 geatiOn that honor in dealing with a GUS toner should always be above every other consideration. Never make state ments that it is impossible to fulfill simply to gain point the better of youl antagonists But rather let us deal as be comes gentlemen of an honorable pro fession keeping i1 mind tEe golden rule and selling our goods strictly on theil merits according our competitors at al times the same treatment and courtesy ex pected by every gentleman in honorabl, prosecution of business.
 To the people who are alwayt our friends we would say, listeI patiently, become interested if possible Should, however, your patience be sorely tried an easy remedy would be to inform the agent that you have decided to make or have made your selection from the wei known and reliable house of B. Shoninge X Co, Shoninger or Weber piono, as tn, case may be, and are only waiting for thu fall house cleaning to be completed befor, placing it in your home. Such a course vii save you much annoyance and secure yol the best the market affords, beautifyini your home with that most desirable of al household effects, a fine piano or organ.
