The Richter Manufacturing Co., Chicago,
has grown steadily in trade estimation and
in size of output, due to the constant care
exercised in maintaining and improving,
whenever possible, the Richter standard of
manufacture of fretted instruments. As
President Carl Richter stated his purposes:
"To maintain quality, which means to in-
crease popularity and salability, constant im-
provement in factory methods and increase
in use of finer material and high-class work-
manship are always necessary. We have as
our fixed purpose to make what we call the
Richter quality a trade standard, and this
year added new machinery and introduced
a number of improvements in manufacture
which, with our force of excellent workmen
and long experience, have increased our
reputation for thoroughly dependable instru-
ments. With it, of course, have come in-
creased orders for the Richter line. We are
not resting on past reputation for good work,
and lose no chance to improve our output.
"So, it is with great pleasure that I
thank our distributors and their dealers for
the good reception they have given to our
products throughout the year, and assure
them that we will do our utmost to increase
their satisfaction in the Richter line."
