increase is inevitable. And there can be no doubt or hesitancy as to the policy we
must pursue.
We will not lower the quality of the piano which for three-quarters of a century
has upheld the praise of such masters as Liszt, Rubinstein and Strauss.
Therefore, we announce after January first, an advance in retail selling prices of
$25 to $50 per instrument, according to the style.
While this means no increased profit to us — only a readjustment to meet the
new conditions—we know it will emphasize to the buying public once more the high,
unvarying quality of the Hallet & Davis Piano.
Fortunately, the buying public, too, knows that good materials cost more today
than formerly. Therefore, this increase in prices will not come as a surprise.
And even with the higher prices we believe no one can say that the cost of the
Hallet & Davis is higher than a purchaser would expect to pay for such tone
quality and construction in a piano.
