THE MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW
AUGUST 23,
THE NEW MODEL OF
The Bowen One Man Piano Loader and Carrier
IS NOW READY
Is Also Suitable for Talking Machines
It is hard to improve that which is already good, but we have accomplished this feat in our new model ONE
MAN PIANO LOADER AND CARRIER. This new loader weighs only ninety pounds, and is so built
that there is nothing about it that could possibly rattle. It is automatically thrown back with a crank instead
of being pulled back by hand as formerly. It is equipped with an apron which protects the loader and its
contents (piano, covers, etc.) from the weather, and gives it a finished appearance. The loader when at-
tached to the Ford improves rather than detracts from the appearance of the car. This new model is also
suitable for hauling phonographs (two at a time) and is prepared ready for carrying-straps.
The BOWEN PIANO LOADER has proved of invaluable aid to the piano dealer. The
dealer who has one is enabled to canvass, not with literature but with the actual piano
itself. With the BOWEN ONE MAN PIANO LOADER AND CARRIER it is no longer
necessary to wait for the prospect to come into town. The salesman simply runs out
to the prospect's house with a piano or talking machine and demonstrates while your
competitor is waiting for the same prospect to come to his warerooms.
Our former model has proven very popular in the trade, and with the improvements to be found on our new model,
its greater popularity can well be imagined.
Read these two letters, which we have selected from many that have been received, and then send for a copy of our book-
let which tells the story.
