Majestic" Outlook Bright.
The " Majestic " has started off well this
year. Not by a series of rushes, but
steadily and surely. "The Majestic,"
said Henry Spies recently to The Review,
"sells readily on its merits. We might
give many reasons why we make good head-

jestic ' explains itself.
"We are well represented now in many
cities and towns throughout the country,
but there is some territory still to cover.

about the ' Majestic,' you might mention
the fact that we are always on the look-out
for live, enterprising men, and firms who
not only know a good piano when they see

margins and a liberal, up-to-date policy.
We want to hear from just such people."
