"WHAT ARE THE NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS OF THE MODERN
PIANO SALESMAN?"
Geo. L. Dodd, one of the veteran piano
men of Maine, was in town this week. In
discussing business possibilities, he remarked
to The Review: "Trade in Maine has been
especially backward, although I suppose
not more so than in other sections of
the country; but we have had rain and
cold weather which has seriously interfered
with business. June, however, promises big
things, and we expect a splendid trade in
pianos right through the summer. For
twenty-five years I have handled the Steck
piano, and during the period that I have
been state agent for the Steck I have cov-
ered all parts of Maine. I have Steck pia-
nos to-day that have been out for many
years and they are in splendid condition to-
day. In fact, I don't believe that there is a
piano made that can surpass the Steck for
durability. I have sold the Steck to our
best people, and you will find that through-
out Maine the Steck is appreciated in the
highest musical circles."
