The San Francisco call., 1909-11-12

During the earlier part of this week
we devoted a little attention TO the va
rfous phases of piano selling, describing
the methods adopted in this and other
cities to get-business. also proving the
results and the worthlessness of the
many millions of dollars CD that are
floating about the country in the guise
of credit certificates, coupons. etc, is
sued as prizes for the solution of puz-
zles. etc, etc AS before. we have safe
guarded the public, made plain to the
buyer the fact that pianos are mer-
chandise just the same as shoes, cloth
ing or groceries. and that as such they
must be sold at fair and reasonable
valuation If the seller would continue
in business. For more than thirty
years our house has been selling pianos.
For more than thirty years the selling
policy has been exactly the same,
founded on lines of integrity and sta
bility which are practically. if not
identicaIly, the same az those of every
great mercantile establishment in the
West; the fundamental basis of which
is honest values. and the square deal to
each and every customer alike.
For more than thirty years we have
studied the piano business, the charac-
ter and worth of pianos of various
makers from the standpoint of their
mechanical structure. their musical
qualities and their durability. and for
all this time we have studied as well
the best interests and the needs of the
thousands of patrons of our house, who
are to be found in every village and
hamlet of the entire West.
Thirty years of constant endeavor,
Of honest labor, of fair dealing, have
taught us the value Of reputation and
truthfulness. Thirty years, during
which we have witnessed the mushroom
growth and the subsequent decay of
many an ambitious firm which was
founded on the sands OF unstable meth
DDS. have seen the growth from the
smallest of beginnings into an organi-
zation that covers the entire coast with
a chain of stores which in their respect
i've cities are the acknowledged piano
buying centers. So much for history.

vERMoNTs WATER RESOURCES
Geological Survey Man Begins Work
in This State.


Montpelier, May 21.-Pursuant to
an act of the last Legislature approp-
Rating $4,000 for an investigation of
the water resources of Vermont in
conjunction with the United States
Geological Survey which also fur
nishes $4,000, II. X. Barrows, district
engineer of the Water Resources
Branch of Geological branch of the
government was In the city Tuesday
and Wednesday will commence the
actual work. d. NJ. Wood assistant
engineer, is here, starting in measur-
ing the river and locating the gaug
ing stations.
The general plan of the work was
explained by Mr.. Barrows. The first
work of the engineer will be getting
the gage readings of streams through
out the state. Tnis has to be done
with as little expense as possible as
it is preliminary work. In various
places some records of the depths Of
the streams are to be found on record
while in other places the work is
volunteered by those interested
President Spooner of Norwich Uni
versity was in the city on Tuesday
and he will secure the gage readings
about Mortified through corps of
students. This is not difficult work
and has to do simply with taking the
depth of the streams.
The scope of the work in itself is
| the determination of the fowage OF
the streams. that is the velocity OF
the water; the investigation OF water
heads with a view to determining
possibilities for power plants; and
third the investigation of storage
possibilities. These three things in 4
general way describe the purpose Of
the investigation.
II is planned to take the Winoosk
basin first and go over the stream
itself and its various branches il
detail This, together with the gag,
readings in all parts of the state
will probably be about the limit o
the work under the present apprc
priation and the results will be en-
bodied in a report to be made whel
the work is completed. II the peopl
are pleased with the results of thi
work the chances are that the detail
work will be carried into other sec
tons of the state.
