What a pleasant
surprise they got I
Put it up
to Murphy
Back in '40-'4l, when Steinway answered the call by diverting its
skill to the making of gliders, they had thousands of piano parts,
consisting of rims, legs, tops, etc. in various stages of finish with
Murphy coating. All went into storage.
Upon limited resumption of piano production recently, Stein-
way was agreeably surprised to find that all of these parts were in
perfect condition for continuance of final coating. Such almost
unbelievable resistance to shrinkage on a wood surface in storage
was only possible with a modern plastic finish.
Murphy is grateful for the opportunity of shar^lg in the con-
tribution Steinway quality has made to our gliders and service
pianos in all theaters of operation.
Enduring quality has been an outstanding characteristic of
Murphy Finishes since 1865. It results from "know how" backed
by intensive research—and a policy of formulating individual-
ized finishes that are especially designed to meet a given prod-
uct's finishing requirements.
Since Pearl Harbor, Murphy has produced over 1700 finishes
for both war and essential civilian needs.
Why not put your war or postwar finishing
problems up to the Murphy Service Salesman?
