Mn Gulbransen urges your
attendance
BELIEVE in a frank analysis of the
problems of the trade. Only in that
way can the real facts be uncovered
and possible remedies worked out.
We have said to our dealers that the
true competition is from without the
business rather than from within, that
the public has not rejected the piano.
These statements are made after most thorough in-
vestigation.
What better opportunity,then,to discuss these mat-
ters than at a National Piano Convention, at which the
dealers from all parts of the country are in attendance?
I urge every merchant who can possibly do so, to
be in New York for the week of June 4th. I pledge
the interested help of each and every member of the
Gulbransen organization in assisting you with your
individual problems.
Lack of proper display space at the official Conven-
tion hotel led us to choose the Hotel Belmont, just
across the street, for Gulbransen headquarters.
Here we will show the magnificent and complete
line of Gulbransen Pianos, including a number of
innovations never before placed on exhibition.
The public ofNew York will be invited as well—
to view this Golden Jubilee Salon of Gulbransen
Pianos. No admission charge.
"The public properly approached will buy pianos"
"The greatest need of the piano business is 100,000 retail salesmen"
" Work with, not against, your piano competitors"
