| the writer's make delusive. false and

that the assertions contained in our
ads in The Republican and Gazette
are incorrect Those writers feel sore
/ because we are offering the Ludwig

money than they have been offering
and selling the same Ludwig piano,
but without the player. If, as the
other fellow" says, the Ludwig which
VIC are offering is an inferior instru-

We are offering the genuine Ludwig

/ Ludwig. who is the founder OF that
make of piano, and receive this instru-
ment direct from the manufacturers.
not through a San Francisco house. as
the other fellow does. We further
add, that we will sell this piano and
! pianola attachment for $500 and 1875
cash. We have facts and figures TO
/ show that the other firm sold this
/ piano without the pianola for much
/ more: for 1900, $3.50 and as high as
| $500 We don't take back an iota OF
| our statement as contained in our ad.
We make the statement that the
other fellow" and most of other Ari-
IONA dealers obtain their pianos
| through the main house in California.
and that said head house pays an
| enormous rent. To the rent, their prof
/ its must be added; then comes the To-
cal agents profits and rent to be add
ed to the cost of the instrument. The
mere fact of their contracts reading,
! that all payments or remittances are
| to be made to the San Francisco main
! office, corroborates our statement
No one but a lunatic will believe
that a purchaser who buys through
such channels from two firms or sec
! nd-hands) can get goods cheaper than
can be obtained from the direct manu-
facturers' representatives, >who pay no
rent nor agents commission.
Regarding that reference to the mer-
] camille agencies. The latest copy of
| 'Dun's" reference book gives us the
i FIRST RATING and the OTHER
FELLOWS main San Francisco house
| SECOND RATING. Go to the various
4 banks in this city and see the big ref
! ference book for yourself. Our stand
ing is higher than all other piano deal
ers in Arizona, including the "other
/ fellow"
Regarding the length of time we
have been in business. the "other fell
low" says that the head man has been
30 years in business. From their fool
ish statement. we would surmise they
meant a few months. The firm Of
REDEWILL was founded over forty
years ago by our senior member, who
sold pianos throughout the Pacific
Coast ten years before 1.-THE other fell
lows" head man commenced opera
tons.
H If the merits of pianos or of a firm
can be measured by the number OF
pianos sold in the state or territory
where the dealers are located, then.
again. our superiority over "the other
fellow is manifest. and the compari-
son is even ridiculous, for we have sold
more pianos and are selling actually
more in Phoenix, Arizona. and north
ern Mexico than all other Arizona
dealers combined. and we sell cheaper
and on easier terms than any one else.
Moral: DO NOT START ANY
THING YOU CANNOT FINISH.
