SOME FACTS ABOUT
THE PIANO BUSINESS

We invite the attention of the
readers Of The Lakeland Evening
| Telegram to a few facts about our
pianos.
You may not be aware that we
are selling some of the most cx-
pensively built pianos on the market
and intrinsically recognized as the
very best. Our retail price on them.
| however, Is not an index to their
grade nor value, as we are selling
them at very small profit. The
value of a piano depends upon its
wearing qualities; tone, action and
finish may APPARENTLY be ever SO good
In a new instrument, but II they
dc not wear and, in the ease of tone.
really improve with the passage OF
time. the instrument is worthless.
no matter what the original cost of
the piano may have been.
Time was when pianos were
thought Injuries. But nowadays
the piano has moved from the luxury
to that of necessity, the houses that
today own pianos are far in excess
of those that do not II has been
demonstrated that high-grade
piano one that has tone Of sing
ing quality, a case of beauty, a dur
ability to outlast the years is an
investment in any home. 1t lends
distinction to the house, an air of
dignity To its surroundings, and
gives pleasure for lifetime.
IL seems strange to us that some
peOple that live in Lakeland. will
o to other places and buy pianos
rithout looking at our pianos or
ting our prices This is an in
Justice TO them and to us. We know
parties that have recently purchased
Stenciled Pianos from travelling
statesmen that they had never seen
and will probably never see again,
the guarantee on these pianos cover
a period of from twenty-five 10 fifty
years tthe best pianos made are
guaranteed for only ten years. but
these guarantees are absolutely
worthless as the purchaser does not
know by whom this piano was built
nor from whom they bought it.
Our aim is to deal honestly with
our customers give them their
moneys worth when they buy pi- |

piano we sell Call to see US when |
