NEW STYLE F RADLE
PLAYER PLEASES TRADE
Latest Addition to the Fine Array of Presenta-
tions of F. Radle, Inc., New York, Wins
Praises of Trade.
F. Radle, style "E," is a recent addition to the fine
line of players of F. Radle, Inc., 609-611 West Thirty-
sixth street, New York, and the early shipments
brought warm expressions of appreciation from
pleased dealers. It is a four foot, six inch model with
the Boston fall and comes in a plain but decidedly
artistic case. It is the old association of tonal merit
and beauty of case in the F. Radle instruments.
The first two players finished were promptly
shipped to the Hunt Piano Co. and the manner in
which they were received by the dealers and two
customers augurs well for the future of the players
at the hands of the trade and the piano buying pub-
lic. The players were sold to the pleased customers
before they were two days on the wareroom floor.
All the facts proved that the new F. Radle player
successfully passed the thorough examination of a
firm of dealers consistently careful of a reputation for
selling dependable instruments. In a letter received
last week by F. Radle, Inc., from the Hunt Piano Co.
this was said:
"In regard to the E players recently shipped we
have nothing but praise to offer. The tone is surpris-
ingly sweet and mellow and the cases beautifully
finished. We consider these Radles of exceptional
value."
The new style "E" player, made by F. Radle, Inc.,
is another addition to a notable line of instruments
which have won the enthusiastic praises of progres-
sive dealers. It is another result of long experience
and a consistent ambition to produce instruments
which dealers and their salesmen can present in a
warm manner. When the dealer who is building a
reputation for meritorious goods can talk about a
piano with the firm conviction of its worth, the way
to sales is quick and easy.
The F. Radle playerpianos have been accorded a
conspicuous place in the trade by reason of their un-
challenged merits. They are made upon the most ap-
proved principles and possess improvements of pecu-
liar power in their appeal to both the public and the
trade.
The case design of the new player style is all that
is expected of an F. Radle case. The F. Radle cases
are always original and matters of particular pride to
the makers. In their merit they are fitting containers
for instruments of unchallenged tonal value.

TWO=PER=CENT MEANS

An Item in Profit and Loss Account Which Is
Usually Overlooked in Trade.
Pianos and Players
Many business houses of all kinds offer terms
which read "2 per cent ten days, net thirty." This,
says the financial editor of the Chicago Evening Post,
means that if Merchant John Smith pays cash for his
bill of goods in ten days he gets a 2 per cent discount
from the listed price.
By doing this he can save $20 on a bill of $1,000.
If he borrows the $980 with which to make the cash
payment, it will cost him $3.27 for the use of this
money for twenty days (he must pay cash at the
end of that time under any circumstances). If the
bill is not paid in ten days, John Smith pays $20 for
the use of $980 for twenty days—37J-4 per cent
interest.
The buyer who neglects the discount and pays
$1,000 for $980 worth of goods will be seriously handi-
capped in competing with merchants who pay
for $980 worth of goods.
