The Review Piano Service
as your merchandising expert, window trimmer and advertising counsel, and in
addition will help you put on any special selling scheme you have in mind for the
next twelvemonth.
The Review Piano Service is a complete monthly merchandising and advertising
service for retail piano merchants.
This advertising is planned to feature your store, your name and your service. More-
over, we prepare special advertisements to your individual order to cover sales or
particular events in your store. Many of the country's leading piano merchants are
already receiving The Review Piano Service every month. We have clients from
Maine to California, from Oregon to Florida, and since we are making good for
them we certainly can make good for you, whether you are in a large city or a small
town. When we get the job
—As Your Merchandising Expert
You get three original ideas every month that you
can cash into money just as if they were certified
checks—new ways of getting business, handling
customers, selling more goods, finding prospects,
getting more out of your sales force.
These are not impractical, untried schemes that
you cannot use. Every one is a tested and proved
plan based on actual experience.
The store with new ideas and new methods col-
lects the cash; the store that goes ahead in the
same old way for ever and ever collects nothing
but dust. Through The Review Piano Service a
constant stream of seasonable, timely ideas
passes over your desk.
When we get the job
—As Your Window Trimmer
You get three or more new original plans for window displays every
month—practical schemes that do not require elaborate and costly
"stage scenery" made to order, but which draw the crowds through
their originality and clever appeal to human psychology.
You pay a high rent for a few feet of frontage on a busy street.
and that frontage is the most valuable thing you've got. The
Review Piano Service shows you how to get the utmost out of your
location by making your windows draw people into your store.
Do They Like Our Work? LISTEN—
From a Maine Client:
Pennsylvania says:
"The ads this month are so darn good that
we couldn't resist ordering all of 'em and what's
more we will use 'em too. Snappiest stuff we
ever saw."
"Great stuff—and it is certainly helping. I
have run it continuously since signing the con-
tract with you ajid business is picking up all the
time. We are receiving scores of comments on
our ads and letters."
From a Tennessee Client:
"There is no denying that the Service is won-
derful and we expect to use same with big results."
From a New York Client:
"We find that our business has grown to nearly
three times what it was last year since using
your Service."
An Ohio Opinion:
"I know we have gotten better results from
the Service than the ads we used before. My
actual experience has made me a booster of the
100% type."
A Word from Canada:
"Your Service is real all right and we are
going to use you until you holler 'Give us *
breath'."
Kansas is wide awake:
"We appreciate to the fullest extent the splen-
did co-operation which you give and the class of
advertising which you are producing. Business
is growing better with us every day and you can
say for us to anyone interested in high class,
up-to-date advertising, that it is our candid opinion
that there is nothing better. It surely gets the
business."
More than fifty similar testimonials from all parts of the
country are on file in our offices for your inspection at any time.

Wants to Work for YOU
No dealer could possibly afford to purchase the work of artists, merchandising experts, ad writers and
window display men such as he gets through the Service, if he paid the whole cost himself, but under the
syndicated plan you get 100% service at a small fraction of the total cost. You know what syndicating
means. The Associated Press is an example. The big initial cost of the Service is divided into very
small portions and each subscriber pays only one portion.
When we °et the job
—As Your Advertising Counsel and Artist
You get more than
200 Complete Advertisements Per Year
ly per month—bright, interesting, lively material
with a new idea in every ad, and always featur-
ing your store, your prestige and your name.
—an average of i? per month, full of charm,
human appeal and punch,
Olga Thomas, of "Vogue"
Ethel Plummer, of "Vanity Fair"
Herman Palmer, of "Judge"
J. Norman Lynd, famous artist of the "New
York Herald"
Charles Baskerville, Jr., contributor to many
magazines
Will Graven, noted commercial artist of New
York
Royce Cody, art director of E. L. "Bill, Inc., for-
merly of "Motor Life," etc.
Joseph Davis, well-known advertising agency ,
artist
Frederick T. Chapman, illustrator of Franklin
automobile and other ads
Many others equally renowned for work that has
real selling power
The cost of a single one of these drawings h
greater than the sum you pay for one month's
complete Service.
Mats or electros of these cuts are sent you as part
of the Service each month—without extra charge.
Here's your monthly bill-of-fare:
8 single column ads on pianos, players,
music rolls, grands, sheet music, store
service, etc.
4 two column ads with strong selling appeal
and the personal touch that popularizes
your store;
4 three column ads, reasonable, timely and
convincing;
1 large four column spread—a big type
argument on "Why Your Store Is the
Right One."
17 ads, with cuts, every month.
Also—a monthly page of merchandising ideas;
a monthly page of window display
plans;
a strong circular letter on pianos, col-
lections, tuning, etc., to send out on
your letterheads.
a form letter on music rolls to mail each
month with the new bulletin; and
lastly,
special ads written to your individual
order, when necessary, to cover un-
usual events.
The Cost—
is about one-quarter as much as the salary of an
office boy—because we are selling it to dealers
all over the United States, thereby dividing the
expense into small fractions. The money you
have been losing on one or tw r o ads that failed to
bring results will more than pay the cost of this
complete Service for the entire year. The Review-
Piano Service saves your time, your patience, and
relieves you of the burden and responsibility of
constantly worrying about your window displays,
merchandising plans, form letters and adver-
tising.
But—this proposition is strictly first come, first
served, and only one dealer in the territory. If
somebody else in your town orders first you can't
buy The Review Piano Service at any price.
Don't think it over too long. Act—and act
quickly. Mail the coupon today for sample ads,
price of the Service and full information.
Signing this coupon is like endorsing a check
for deposit in the Bank of Success!
