We do not expect a dealer to sell the Ann Arbor Organ unless he can make
money by so doing.
We do not expect him to thin^ it is good just because we think it is good.
We do not expect him to crowd out a good seller and sell nothing but the Ann
Arbor.
BUT WE CLAIM
We make the finest finished organ made in the United States known to us.
Our organs contain many important features which make them sell if the agent
has gumption enough to show them.
Our prices are low if good quality in an organ is worth a cent.
Pianos.
AND WE BELIEVE

• •
That any dealer who fails to familiarize himself with all the market affords and
take advantage of an opportunity to buy the best there is. makes a mistake, and the
dealer who in estimating cost figures only the factory price, makes a mistake. It is
not the instrument that costs the least which pays the biggest profit, but the one
which impresses a customer so favorably that he will pay the price and be satisfied
after he has done so.
On this platform we wish you to consider our claims for the Ann Arbor Organ.
