"THUHP BOXES"
The "Thump Box" (which is the technical term by which the so-called
"cheap piano" is designated in the trade) belongs to an entirely separate branch
of industry from that in which this Company is engaged, and we would not
have thought it necessary to have mentioned this fact but for occasional in-
quiries which we have lately received.
We have not a word to say against "thump boxes."
Like all other created things, they have their uses.
At least they teach to the purchaser the great moral lesson of patience
under suffering, and impress upon his mind the truth of the old proverb, " the
fool and his money are soon parted."
If they do no other work, and do this well, they are well worth what
they cost—which is not much.
NEEDHAn PIANO
Artistic in its Construction
IS BOTH ARTISTIC
AND COMMERCIAL.
Commercial in its Price
W e use no cheap materials, hasten no process that requires time, employ
no unskilled labor, and offer for sale no imperfect instruments.

HAVE WE MET WITH SUCCESS? ^
We are not inclined to boast, but we are tempted to publish extracts from two letters
which have just come to hand.
The first is from Mr. P. A. Collins, one of the oldest of the Needham Agents, who has had a
life long experience in the business and who knows a piano from beginning to end.

you are at the head of the line in turning out'hand-
some and fine toned instruments. I can honestly say
without any intent to flatter that the Needham Piano
just received is the handsomest piano I ever saw.
I am proud of the Needham Pianos and have
watched the great improvement made in them as to
tone and finish with as much pleasure as if I were
owner of the factory. * * * *
Yours truly,
P. A. COLLINS.
