DEAR SIR:-Answering yours of the
26th, enclosing clipping of article pub
lished by some of your competitors, we
desire to say. first, that we know of no
such paper in Chicago as the Chicago
Musical News. There may be such
publication, but it is not known to US
nor can get any information as to its
existence. While on this subject, how
ever. weeare of the opinion that adver-
tisements of this kind put in by local
dealers to- try and prevent their neigh
bors buying good piano at right price,
will prove boomerang to the dealer.
We have never considered it good policy
to answer any such attacks. We have
been in the muEic business for more
than thirty years and are doing our larg-
est business today where wO are best
known and will stand right on our bust
ness reputation and push right forward
instead of spending any of our time in
answering m alicious attacks. 1t is pos
sible that the dealers in The Dalles are
public benefactors and are spending
their money advertising for the purpose
of trying to protect an ignorant and be-
nighted community, but if such is the
case theV are rare specimens and should
be put in q case and exhibited. The
probabilities are they are exercised more
ON account of the fact that they are los
ing the large profits that they hoped to
make by retailing goods than their de-
sire to protect the innocent public. It
is one of our fixed rules in business not
to enter into controversy with our COM
petitors nor say unkind things of them,
but spend our entire time in pushing
our ewn business. Your advertisement
seems to cover the ground in nice shape.
With sincere regards, we remain,
Very Respectfully,
w. w. KIMBALL Co.
In connection with the above, we wieh
to impress upon the generous public Oi
The Dalles, that we came here as law
abiding, business men to offer our good,
for sale to the public. We are free-bOrn
American citizens, white and twenty -one
and believe the constitution guarantees
the right to all its citizens to peaceably
pursue their business, profession or occu-
patton in this grand and glorious land Of
the free. 1t was for these rights that
some of our ancestors split their blood
some of the writer's ancestors having
sacrificed their lives with others in
achieving the grand victory which We
all united in celebrating yesterday.
We came here, as above stated, to sell
our goods and had no fight to make on
any one or any ones goods, as the Kim
ball is sold strictly on its merits and not
by dealing in personalities and ingender.
ing prejudices, as everyone who has
come in contact with us and knows our
manner of dealing can testify. But the
local agents were not willing to attend tc
their business and let US attend to ours
They seem to have an idea that they
own this section of the United States
and the people who live here. They
have wantonly, wilfully and maliciouslY
attacked us. They have brought this
''war" on themselves, now let them take
their medicine. They deserve no quarter
from US, or sympathy from the law
abiding citizens of The Dalles. The
writer notified them before they began
that we had no fight to make on anyone
but if they began, it would be war to tn,
knife, and we now say, in the Language
of ''Spakeshare," n
Lay on, MacDuf, N
And damned be he -
, Who cries enough.
