Why Should a Piano Dealer
Confine His Business To
Instrumental Music?
There is, of course, no reason at all why he should, and the
only reason why he does is usually a poor one.
Also the number who do restrict their business activity in
this way is becoming daily less.
A very large proportion of the most progressive and pros-
perous piano houses have now well-established Columbia
Graphophone and Grafonola and Record departments—and
they are mostly a double success, in that they do not subtract
from the piano departments, but on the contrary, serve as liberal
feeders to the piano departments.
The ever-present problem of the piano dealer is to get into
closer touch with the music loving public—to get them inside
the store, if possible. And the nature of the Graphophone
record business is such that this very problem solves itself.
Now if you have a good business reason for letting what
should be your share of this very considerable profit go to
someone else, or go to waste entirely, are you sure it fits
present conditions ?
