ASK QUESTIONS.
When a piano manufacturer tells you
his pianos are the best, arid that no others
are worth considering, ask questions.
Ask him "Why?"
As a matter of fact most pianos are
good; the makers would bt f-^lizh *" d?
other than their best.
The differences between them are
small, but small things arc very im-
portant.
// is by excelling m many little tilings
that the WESER PIANO is lifted above
the common mediocrity of pianodom.
Maybe it's the greater elasticity of the
hammers, our new duett uesk or our
praetice pedal—both patented—which
altogether make so many dealers persist
in having the Weser Piano.
Talk to us about it.

Sales are Made
in these fin de siecle days by men who are
thoroughly conversant down to the minut-
est details with that which they offer to
prospective customers. A piano salesman
will obtain much more satisfactory results
if he acquaints himself with the mystery of
the action and technical analysis of the
instrument. He can do this
By Studying:
"The Piano"
the best book ever written, and so pro-
nounced by the highest experts, on the art
of tuning and regulating. It thoroughly
acquaints the reader with the grand, the
upright, the square piano on a scientific
basis. It is illustrated with carefully
designed diagrams accurately numbering
and naming each part of the instrument.
It should be in every salesman's library.
Tuners, whether amateurs or experts,
recognize it as the standard work of their
craft. No "kit" is complete without it.

AT a recent meeting of the piano dealers
of Rochester, N. Y., resolutions of regret
were passed relative to the death of William
Henry Martin, of J. W. Martin & Son, who
died recently in that city.
GRINNELL BROS., of Detroit, Mich., have
secured the agency for the pianos made by
the Hallet & Davis Co., of Boston. Their
first order was for three car loads, an un-
doubted proof of their determination to
make these instruments well and widely
known through the State of Michigan.
