D o w n thru t h e years, Schumann has aspired and so labored
toward one great, outstanding goal—exalted leadership in a most
profitable price field. This has been done by building ONE ex-
cellent product, with ONE splendid name, and persistent striving
to improve its handiwork so as to make it more and more worthy
of that name.
THESE THINGS BEAR IN MIND:
1. Financially secure—2. Reli-
able, unchanging sales policies
—3. No taint of stock market
control — 4. No second or third
conflicting grades of merchandise
or stencils — 5. Assured margins
of profit to the dealer — 6. The
background of a splendid reputa-
tion— 7. Unlimited possibilities
for future progress.
Today, Schumann ranks highest as the manufacturer of small
grands and upright pianos in America. It has nothing to fear
from others whose price might seem to indicate that they were on
its par in value. It laughs at any who might be so bold as to
infer they offer as good (or better value!) for less money. The
imposing genius of its visual, exclusive features of construction is
what manifests such Schumann dignity.
Its future is unquestionably secure and promising to the dealer
who is wisely planning to stabilize his lines and to maintain the
prestige he puts behind the product he handles. Particularly if
he has had reason to become alarmed over many of the recent
changes and developments in the trade.
