A Talk With You, Mr. Dealer!
It may interest you to know that the demand for our pianos is now exceeding anything
we have previously experienced.
It tells the story in no uncertain words that the
CHRISTMAN PIANOS
are a necessary adjunct to the successful piano store. Dealers are enthusiastic about
them, because they present high class values in tone, construction and design, with a
reasonable profit for the handlers. If you saw them you would be pleased. They would
satisfy your best trade; while if instruments of a lower price are desired, we make the
WORTHINGTON PIANOS
which are thoroughly reliable instruments, made by experienced and clever men. They
are the hardest kind of a proposition to beat. There can be no summer dulness where
our instruments are handled.
