THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
LJOLDING to a Purpose!—This statement
represents in concrete form the policy of
the Knabe institution.
Holding to a purpose—and what was that
original purpose? To build the best piano
possible—to build a piano which should win
the acclaim of the entire musical world—to
build a piano that would so weave a spell of
musical glamour in the homes throughout the
land, that it would win the universal popular-
ity to which its merits justly entitle it.
The
Wonderful
Business
Possibilities
of the Knabe
were never
so great
as to-day.
What Holding
to a
Purpose
Means.

That purpose has been rigidly adhered to
through all the intervening years from 1837
down to the present time.
The Knabe piano truly typifies the ideal instru-
ment for the discriminatingly intelligent pur-
chaser; more than ever before musical people
recognize that fact.
In this connection, it may be well to relate the
fact that 1916 is destined to mark the high
water mark of Knabe factory output—a state-
ment full of business significance, for it shows
that the Knabe, through its splendid musical
attributes, has found an ever widening clien-
tele of admirers.
It shows that Knabe representatives in every part of the
universe realize more than ever before the wonderful
business possibilities which the Knabe possesses for
them, and they in their field have been holding to a pur-
pose—that of intelligently placing the merits of the Knabe
before the best people, musically, in the entire country,
and as a result of that helpful co-operation, as a result of
that holding to a purpose, the Knabe instruments have
been in greater demand than ever before.
This demand has been clearly emphasized in increased
orders for grand instruments.
These conditions demonstrate beyond power of argument
what the advantage of holding to a purpose means to
manufacturer and merchant.
