THE ASSURANCE OF MERIT
IN THE PIANO PURCHASED
Southern Firm, Advertising the Knabe, Points Out
the Necessity for the Satisfied Mind.
Advertising the Knabe grand in Charlotte, N. C,
newspapers this week, John W. Post & Co., of that 1
city tells about the character for "quality and value '
possessed by the instrument. He reminds readers-
that a piano is not an investment for a day, but for
a lifetime, and points out the necessity for a satis-
fied mind in the buyer as to the quality and dura-
bility of the piano purchased. This is printed:
"Permanent value is founded directly on quality.
Workmanship and material must be of the finest
grade—built up to an ideal, not down to a price-
There can be no skimping of material nor trimming
of labor. A shining case often hides cheapened*
workmanship. True quality rests on scrupulous
pains taken over the tiniest details of construction.
Of such recognized quality is the Knabe—made with
exacting care by skilled artisans—its perfect voice
sings on for generations. The purchase of a Knabe
spells the acquisition of infinite musical pleasure."
