THE HARDMAN ADVANCE.
The Hardman Piano Player Will Soon be
Ready for the Market—Business in Both
Wholesale and Retail Lines is Exceedingly
Good.
William Dalliba Button, of Hardman,
Peck & Co., left town on Wednesday for
the West. He expects to visit a number of
the Hardman agencies in Pennsylvania,
and the Middle West. The trip will oc-
cupy about three weeks. When The Re-
view called at the Hardman headquarters
on Tuesday, Mr. Dutton said: "The only
item of real interest that I can think of in
connection with the Hardman advances, is
concerning' the Hardman piano player.
Progress on that instrument is being rap-
idly made. It will soon be ready for the
market. The outlook for it is excellent.
I might mention that the new Brooklyn
branch is making a good record. Results
achieved up to this time fully justify the
steps taken to give the Brooklyn people
adequate representation. We arc busy at
the factories. The Hardman agencies are
sending in good reports. The Hardman in-
terests everywhere are in a healthy, flour-
ishing condition."
To-day in Rochester, N. Y., application
will be made, and of course granted, to
change the corporate name of the Mar-
tin Bros. Piano Co., to that of the "Arm-
strong Piano Co."
OME men are easily satisfied to plod along in the same old narrow path
with no possible chance of gaining ground. Now we have mapped out
an entirely new departure—tried to get out of the piano beaten paths.
Piano men are demanding more for the money, and they are
demanding the best, and we figure that they should have the result of
our many years of experience. Many of them have written us that in
the HENRY
Sr S. G. LltfDEMJIN
piano they have a product which is
difficult to beat.
Well, this is an era of education, and piano men are seeking the best
possible returns for their money, and a goodly number of them have shown
their preference in deciding in favor of the Henry & S. G. Lindeman piano.
Now, why not accept the judgment of some of the best men in the
trade and look up our piano values?
