THE BOWEN ONE-MAN LOADER AND CARRIER
A DRESSED UP FORD
A Ford Roadster equipped with a BOWEN LOADER is not only the BEST piano truck in the world, but the BEST LOOKING.
It is also the most economical, costing only about one-third as much per mile to operate as that of larger cars or trucks.
With the convenience of handling the piano, the ability to go anywhere and show the ACTUAL PIAN.0 to EVERY PROSPECT,
ANY real salesman of ANY kind can sell pianos with one of these outfits, and will often beat the experienced piano salesman.
Actual experience has proven that a salesman can sell at least 50% more pianos with one of these outfits than he can in any
other way. Can you afford to be without one?
Patented November 6, 1917
Other Patents Pending.
This drawing shows the simplicity of the Bowen Loader, and the way the piano is clamped to the loader. Pianos are loaded from
the ground or curb of sidewalk. They can be unloaded directly on porches when not too high or inaccessible.
Extract from letter from J. W. Boyle & Son of Plainview, Texas, September 9, 1922: "The Loader is giving good service and
we are highly pleased with it."
Extract from letter from W. L. Saunders, Fort Madison, Iowa: "I couldn't get along without the Loader. Could have bought
a Loader for much less money but think Bowen worth the difference."
THERE'S A LOT OF BUSINESS IN SIGHT
This Fall and Winter should be active with the wide-awake piano trade. The other kind do not use Bowen Loaders. If YOU
haven't one, investigate NOW. It will PAY you.
