MR. PIANO MERCHANT,
U. S. A.
Dear Sir--As you know, we are at the gateway of the new season which we
confidently^expect will "be one of the most active in the history of
pianodom.
But, getting down to "brass tacks" Mr. Piano Merchant, ARE YOU
READY? Remember shipping conditions are not dependable--difficulties
in transportation are constantly arising--we can readily take care of you
now, but of course it will be impossible to guarantee deliveries a few
months hence,
It is to your interest to have a "few ahead". Piano prices will
not be lower but there is a strong possibility of price increase.
As, has been our achieved record—satisfaction with quality shall
endure--JESSE FRENCH PIANOS are not made to tempt by price alone but by
genuine worth. Jesse French Pianos come from a manufacturing concern that
thoroughly studies the necessities of its clientele in a manner that has
always proven advantageous.
A word to the wise--send in your advance orders now while its on
your mind. "Deferred action may mean deferred prosperity" for you during
-the n e x t
s e a s o n . •'• .

Yours for greater success,
JESSE FRENCH & SONS PIANO CO.
