What Impressed a Dealer Most
In a Visit To the
Metropolis.
A
WESTERN dealer who has been visit-
ing New York recently remarked: "I
am always interested when I visit the
metropolis of this country.
"The city is undergoing the most remark-
able changes yearly perhaps of any other city
in the world.
"In business, too, there are changes. Some
men are moving ahead with surprising rapidity.
"What interested me most in the music
trade line was the tremendous hold which the
Christmans are gaining upon the trade.
"I visited their factory at 597-601 East 137th
Street, New York, and was more than agreeably
surprised at what I saw while there.
"I had read their announcements with more
or less interest and am frank to confess that I
supposed some of the statements made were
exaggerated.
"But no! It was not so. I believe that the
Christman Small Grand surpasses anything of
similar size in this country.
"The Christman uprights, too, are splendid
creations.
"It is no wonder that Christman trade has
gone ahead so rapidly during the past two years.
"I can tell you the Christmans are putting
up pianos which are really wonders.
"They draw trade—good trade—trade that
is worth having.
"I had ordered one sample piano before my
visit to New York and I have repeated the origi-
nal order several times.
"I found that the Christman trade keeps
coming. It draws in new faces and it attracts.
"The Christman piano to my mind is
unique and I believe that the agency for the
Christman, for only one man in a town can
handle it, is worth striving for.
"The arrangement which I concluded with
the company was satisfying in every respect and
I feel confident that I am going to have a Christ-
man trade this year that will expand into great
proportions.
"Talk about piano individuality! If the
Christman pianos, uprights and grands, do not
possess that then I miss my mark.
"They are instruments which are out of the
ordinary, and I would say to my brother dealers,
lose no time in investigating the Christman, and
you will be satisfied as I have been."

Another Technical Work
on Piano Player Mechanism!
The first edition of a book entitled "Regulation and Repair of
Piano and Player Mechanism, Together with Tuning as Science
and Art" is now on the press.
It covers the player field completely and is really two books in one.
It is handsomely bound, illustrated, and contains a vast amount of
instructive matter which will be of great value to dealers and salesmen—
in fact to all those who are interested in piano player development.
It will be sent to any address in the United States postpaid upon
receipt of $1.50.- Foreign Countries, $1.65.
Other technical works which we have issued are:
" Theory and Practice of
Pianoforte Building "
"THEORY AND PRACTICE OF PIANO-
FORTE BUILDING" is the only book
ever put forth in the English lan-
guage wherein piano making is intel-
ligently treated. There are various
illustrations in this book and it tells
all about the piano in every stagr of
its development. It is a book which
should be in the library of everyone
interested in the piano. Dealers and
salesmen can talk the piano more
intelligently when they know all
about it. The book contains nearly
two hundred pages, is beautifully •
bound in cloth and illustrated.
"The Piano or Tuner's
Guide "
is the standard work upon tuning in
this country and it has been endorsed

hundred pages, is handsomely bound

This book of nearly two hundred
pages, splendidly bcund in cloth,

ism, how to play, how to repair. All
the parts are named and it is a
technical work of the greatest value
to everyone interested in player de-
velopment. It is the only work of
its kind ever published. An absolute
necessity to every dealer, repairer
and salesman.
