OPERATORS' PIANO COMPANY 1911 AVENUE
CHICAGO
The Logansport Furniture Co., Logansport, Ind.,
announces a new style of player bench which is
now ready for immediate shipment. This design,
illustration of which appears herewith, is one of
popular order and is finished in the customary high
class manner for which this house is noted.
In the matching of round or square truss pianos
it is extremely difficult generally to find bench pat-
terns that harmonize with the instrument; so, in
order to care for this detail of comparison, the
Logansport Furniture Co., through its experience
in the furniture designing field, created several
Style 74
styles that are guaranteed to match the general run
of piano styles. Of course, in the regular stock
goods, the finishes are made to match as near as
possible.
But the company goes one step in advance of
this, and if a particular shade of mahogany or oak,
or other wood, is desired, and the dealer will so
advise, a special finish will be given the bench, do-
ing this extra work without charge. So strongly
has the company followed the piano industry, that
it has a chart showing the various shades of the
different finishes as used by the piano company.
If an order comes in for benches from a piano
dealer who specifies that the benches are for "D E
F" pianos, then the company knows just what
shade of the wood specified to send him.
The foregoing novel ideas in this field are from
the creative mind of E. B. Ash, sales manager of
the company, who believes that the service ren-
dered augments the quality of merchandise in the
minds of the consumer and that satisfaction is the
keynote of business-building.
CHASE & BAKER LITERATURE.
The Chase & Baker Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., is
sending out some very attractive leaflets in which
the policies of the house and the constructive fea-
tures of its instruments are treated of interest-
ingly. One of the latest bears upon the Chase &
Baker player-piano and reads:
"Because we are specialists in player-piano con-
struction we are enabled to place before our cus-
tomers an entirely consistent and forceful embodi-
ment of our ideal, which is to make the Chase &
Baker the perfect player-piano. This is possible
only where every element of the work is planned
with reference to and consideration, of all details,
to the end that the result may be harmonious; and
it is possible only where the different branches of
the work are conducted under one roof, by one
management, through complete co-ordination and
planning. A fixed responsibility, economic manu-
facture and artistic result can be achieved only in
this way, and this result is arrived at in the Chase
& Baker player-piano in such ample measure as to
justify the phrase 'Player-piano Perfection.'"
The Stewart Dry Goods Co., of Louisville, Ky.,
reports a progressing business in the player-piano
line.
