MR. PIANO MERCHANT,
U. S. A.
Lear Sir:
Have you taken a forethought of business in the years to come, or
are you doing "business in a desultory manner--handling pianos that will
not make lasting friends? An important factor in future trade and the
merchant's strongest asset, is a sa-tisfied customer. Optimistic merchants,
to.make a success of piano selling, must have the piano to "back up their
sales talk.
The JESSE FRENCH piano, a name well known since 1875, meets the
three biggest arguments of the piano merchant, namely: exquisite musical
tone, indubitable durability and handsome case. They have been tried and
tested, and have proven a dependable line unmatched for tonal qualities,
and thoroughness of construction—in, brief, pianos that merchants CANNOT
recommend too highly.
Unusual conditions, such as labor shortage, fuel and material
scarcity, lack of proper shipping facilities, have not resulted in our
lessening the quality of our instruments. Frequently piano merchants
have remarked that they.are surprised that our products were of such high
qualities, as they imagined that market conditions were so unfavorable as
to cheapen the product.'
But we are glad to say, Mr. Piano Merchant, we are ready to serve
you with'pianos and piano players that we deem a compliment to the American
Piano business.
Very truly yours,
JESSE FRENCH & SONS PIANO CO.
