MR. PIANO MERCHANT,
U. S. A.
Dear Sir:
The year 1919 "brought with it many unusual and trying
conditions for the manufacturers: shortage of material and skilled
la"bor, poor transportation, shortage of fuel, etc., and all tended
to hold up production.
Now that the New Year 1920 is dawning upon us, illuminated
with the greatest Prosperity in the History of the Piano Business,
we wish to thank each and evexy one of our Representatives for their
loyal and hearty co-operation during the past year, and to assure
them that it is our desire to give them 1 0 0 % SERVICE during the
present year.
With all the handicaps mentioned, we increased our
Production in 1919, and will increase Production this year, yet
"QUALITY FIRST AND FIRST QUALITY" is our first consideration, and
we will continue to give you the same high grade class of goods
that we have given in the past year.
Again thanking you for each and every favor extended us
during the Past, and with every good wish for a Most Prosperous
New Year, we are,
Very truly yours,
JESSE FRENCH & SONS PIANO CO.
