SELLING PLAYERPIANOS
TO THE FARMHOUSES
Field for the Salesman Wide and He Is
Filled with the Thought That He
Makes Life Pleasanter.
The spread of the trolley car and improved inter-
urban communications, the greater uses of auto-
mobiles, telephones, rural free delivery and motion
picture shows in the smallest villages have been
duly credited as contributory aids to making farm
life less lonely and monotonous and more easily
endurable by the farmers' boys. But the player-
piano and the phonograph have each played and
continue to play an effective part in keeping the
boys down on the farm even after they've seen
Paree. For despite the war (the serving in which,
it was feared, the young farmer would be lured
away from the soil)—despite the war, there is an
expansion in ranger and agricultural pursuits.
And consider the extent of the prospect field for
the player-piano salesman. Out of a population
of above 100,000,000 people in the United States,
there are now about 7,250,000 farmers, who own
farms roughly appraised at $7,000,000,000. Gener-
ally speaking, the farmer's lot is happier than it was
in the last generation. He gets more money for
his products and naturally improves his opportuni-
ties for pleasant distractions that money can buy.
It is a very poor farmhouse that has not some"
means within it for the making of music. In the
more settled states the opportunities for the player-
piano salesman are wonderful. To demonstrate a
player in a farmhouse is to sell it, and the prospects
are plentiful.
Of course outside of the older states there are
other conditions of farming; endless flat tracts dot-
ted, a hundred miles apart, with hamlets of a few
souls only. Here the single diversion is an occa-
sional railway train; and for the most part of these
settlers a glimpse of a railway demands a long
journey. But even on the stretches of country
where the farmhouses are scattered the opportuni-
ties of the player-piano salesman are considerable.
In this kind of region, too, the necessities of the
player seems greater and the advancement of music
through player-piano sales would seem a greater
human kindness.
The Koenig Co., Buffalo, N. Y., will move to a
new store at 668 Main street. May 1.
