HIS SALES PLAN

job for 15 years, always remarks, "How well that

Sincerely,
BRO. FRANCES.
Sacramento Representative of the Jesse
French Piano Co. Tells How to Put Busi-
ness on 100 Per Cent Basis.
Following is a statement of his methods from Lou
Atkins, enthusiastic representative at Sacramento,
Calif., for the Jesse French & Sons Piano Co., New
Castle, Ind. Mr. Atkins has been boosting Jesse
French pianos as his leader for a long time and has
built up a wonderful business in that city. He wants
the other piano dealers to know that the reason for
his success is that he gets good down payments, good
terms, and interest.
PIANO BUSINESS PUT ON 100% BASIS.
After reading what took place at the Eastern and
Western Music Trades conventions, I wish to an-
nounce to the world how to put the piano business
on a 100% basis.
It is a very simple proposition, and I am, and in-
tend to stand alone and carry out the following rules:
Second grade pianos at least $25 down and $10
per month, 7% interest.
Standard pianos, $50 down and $12 per month, 7%
interest.
Players, 2nd grade—$50 down and $15 per month,
7% interest.
Standard Players, 1st grade—$100 down and $20
per month, 7% interest.
These are the rules followed at Lou Atkins' store.
Reversions when sold on this basis will run from
3 to 5% only.

Great Durability of Instrument Under Trying Cir-
cumstances Told by Head of Honolulu Institution.
The Kroeger Piano Co., Stamford, Conn., received
a letter recently from the St. Louis College of Hono-
lulu praising the excellent tone and great durability
of a Kroeger piano which the college has used for
thirty years. This is an exceptional tribute to come
from a tropical climate, which, of course, is much
harder on a sensitive musical instrument than our
temperate American climate. In addition, the col-
lege is situated on a river which naturally adds to
the dampness in the atmosphere. A more severe test
could hardly be asked for to demonstrate the thor-
ough methods of construction and the climate-resist-
ing qualities of a Kroeger piano.
St. Louis College is more than satisfied with their
Kroeger, for they have added other Kroegers until
there are now four of these instruments in daily use
in this educational institution. The interesting letter
recently came from the college:
Gentlemen—Please accept my congratulations.
Your latest models are certainly artistic and 1 am
sure they appeal to everybody who has good taste.
We have four Kroeger pianos and I am glad to say
that they are as good as any other make that I
have played.
The Kroeger I have in my studio is the first of
many that were imported here. It has been in daily
use for 30 years and still has a very brilliant tone
