BUYERS' GUIDE IS GOING VERY WELL
Orders Coming in Regularly for "The Book That Sells Pianos" and Here
Are a Few Snappy Samples of Them
The question is continually asked, "How goes the
Buyers' Guide?" Presto-Times says, "How the Buy-
ers' Guide goes!"
The Buyers' Guide went lively all through the year
1929. Vigorous, energetic, active and brisk have the
orders seemed to be, showing that the Buyers' Guide
is regarded as the exponent of all the latest makes of
pianos and radio as well as a chronology of every
make that has been made and sold for many years
agone. The Buyers' Guide spreads the facts about
the good makes of pianos to the world. It is an
impartial and reliable compendium of such informa-
tion, and incidentally a glossary recording in brief
the history of each instrument and facts about the
men managing the firms. It is an indispensable hand-
book for dealers, buyers and salesmen.
We give the following extracts from orders for
Buyers' Guide, in order to show just how; just the
expressions used in ordering copies:
