PRESTO BUYERS'
GUIDE NOTICE
The 1925 Edition of Presto Buyers' Guide,
the "Book That Sells Pianos," is already en-
tirely exhausted. It is the second time in
the twenty-nine years since the book first ap-
peared that the demand has been such as to
render this announcement necessary. Copies
of the preceding editions may still be had,
and the issue of 1924 is so nearly up-to-date
as to be almost equally useful in the hands of
salesmen. The "Premium Edition" also is
good for selling purposes, and it may be had
for 25 cents a copy—one-half the regular
price.
The entirely new Presto Buyers' Guide for
1926 is in preparation and will be ready in
October. Advance orders, especially for quan-
tities, should be placed early. Subscribers to
Presto, the American Music Trade Weekly,
between now and October 1st, will receive a
copy of the new Presto Buyers' Guide for
1926 without charge as soon as it appears.
