BENCHES AID PIANO SALES
The S. E. Overton Company, of South Haven, Mich.,
Makes Proposition to Trade.
The piano bench provides the opportunity for add-
ing to the allurements of the piano, player or repro-
ducing piano during the holiday drive for sales. It is
a desirable aid cleverly pointed out by the S. E. Over-
ton Company, South Haven, Mich., in a clever page
advertisement in Presto last week. "No matter how
lovely the tone or how perfect the construction of the
instrument, you know that appearance is more often
the deciding factor in a piano sale," is the statement
made.
The S. E. Overton Company is maker of Overton
K. D. benches, produced to exactly match the color
and finish in pianos. Other advantages of the "knock
down" benches are pointed out by the company:
They save 60 per cent freight, save three-quarters in
storage space, ship promptly and safely across the
continent, are permanently rigid and durable, come in
shades to match any instrument, are easy to handle
and are specially priced on quantity shipments.
Dealers are requested to write for more informa-
tion, or give permission to the company to ship a set
of four benches for examination. Four Overton
K. D. benches are shipped as cheaply as one by
freight. "And if you don't find them just the moder-
ate-priced, piano-boosting benches you've been look-
ing for—we'll pay the freight," is the proposition of
the S. E. Overton Company.
SALES IN SCHOOL ORGANS
Line of the A. L. White Mfg. Co. Provides Oppor-
tunities for Profit for Dealers.
The increased interest in music for the schools nat-
urally directs attention to instruments suitable for
school purposes. The music merchant keen for ex-
panding his business in a profitable way sees the
opportunities in the school organs manufactured by
the A. L. White Mfg. Co., 215 Englewood avenue,
Chicago, and the increased interest on the part of
dealers has resulted in a pleasant condition of activity
in the factory. So continuous is the flow of orders
to the school organ department of the company,
manufacturing arrangements have been made to treat
the condition as something permanent.
The school organs and folding organs made by the
A. L. White Mfg. Co., have particular merits that
recommend them to dealers. They are thoroughly
dependable in the most strenuous uses and -their
musical qualities are admirable. The observant dealer
sees many prospective sales of the instruments
named as well as of the practice keyboard, another
salable number in the line of the Chicago company.
The line provides for particular wants for school,
church, music school and home.
