1t is we'll known among the music
trade that the agency for certain makes
of pianos is controlled entirely by San
Francisco dealers for this part of Califor-
MIA, who furnish them to smaller dealers.
The scale of profits on these pianos is
as follows:
First, the manufacturers profit.
Second, the San Francisco dealer s
profit.
Third, your local dealers profit.
Three profits you must pay before you
can own the piano.
1t is also we'll known that in this ex-
penslve way il costs more to sell certain
grades OF pianos than it does TO make
them.

years ago last April. since which Time
$4,000 have been made. The daily output
is larger than from any piano factory in

! utterly impossible to supply, all of which
attests its remarkable superiority.
The fine material used in its construc-
ton, its excellent work manship and great
standing powers have never been sur
