THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
HAMILTON FOREIGN TRADE GROWS.
Orders for Hamilton Pianos and Organs reach the
Manufacturers from all over the World.
Nothing so emphatically demonstrates the
increased popularity of the Hamilton pianos
and organs with foreign dealers as the im-
mense orders for export purposes which are
being received from Europe, Australia,.South
America, South Africa and other points.
A great deal of the success achieved in
this connection is to be attributed to the cred-
itable display of Hamilton pianos and organs
made by D. H. Baldwin & Co. at the Paris
Exposition, and it is evident by the renewed
and increased orders that it is the substan-
tial construction and superior tone quality
and care in exterior finish that makes these
instruments especially attractive to foreign
buyers.
It is so much more gratifying, because it is
known that in price it would be difficult to
compete with German and French manufac-
turers, who have made a more systematic
study of export trade, and offer inducements
in prices and terms on credit which the Bald-
win people do not. All their export business
is strictly cash and the prices the same as are
charged to American dealers.
HAVE YOU HEARD THE PIANOPHONE?
Which is Now being Made by the Pianophone Co. at
Orange, N. J.—A Player of Great Merit that is
Bound to Win its Way.
This is the age of the piano-player, and
the dealer who has not investigated and given
the matter attention is behind the age. This
is particularly true if he is not acquainted
with the especial merits of the piano-player
made by the Pianophone Co., of Orange,
N. J. Here is a player of demonstrated
worth that has been developed to a perfection
that now stamps it worthy of a very wide
popularity. The gentlemen composing the
Pianophone Co. are of high standing in the
commercial world, and they have entered the
piano-playing field after careful investiga-
tion with a firm faith in the pianophone.
They invite inquiries regarding the instru-
ment and the price at which it is sold, from
members of the trade. They feel that they
have a player that will give splendid satis-
faction. Dealers who are now handling the
Pianophone speak in the warmest terms re-
garding its possibilities. They report that
purchasers are extremely well pleased with
it. Are not these good reasons why readers
of The Review, 'who are not acquainted with
the Pianophone, should look it up?
