WIN CHRISTMAS BUYERS
Handsome Styles from Schaff Bros. Co., Huntington,
Ind., Great Aid to Dealers.
Dealers handling the line of the Schaff Bros. Co.,
Huntington, Ind., are finding the two-tone instru-.
nients of the company strong inducements for the
buyer of the Christmas gift piano. Some of the
foremost industries are achieving great holiday sales
success by reason of the beauty of the two-tone finish
pianos. The case designs of the Schaff Bros, in-
struments are always graceful, and dealers find them
ready sellers because of the first impressions of cus-
tomers who respond to the rule that "what the eye
sees the heart believes."
