A TRIBUTE TO McMACKIN SERVICE
The following letter complimenting the McMackin
Piano Service, Des Moines, Iowa, on piano key recov-
ering work, explains itself:
Story City, Iowa, May 4, 1933.
Gentlemen:
We are today sending you by parcel post another
set of piano keys to be recovered like the set of last
week.
We were more than satisfied with the work, and
believe me, if you want to turn pianos quickly let Mc-
Mackin fix up the keys.
Respectfully yours,
HENDERSON F U R N I T U R E CO.
By Arthur Henderson.
Mr. McMackin's message to dealers on piano key
recovering is what is giving them a new deal in this
line of work. He says, "A good looking keyboard
and bright new keys actually sell pianos." He has
reduced the price of his work from $8 to $5 and guar-
antees that there is no better service in America than
his. Presto-Times is pleased to recommend this house
to the attention of music dealers generally.
Jose Iturbi, the distinguished pianist who has given a
testimonial on the Baldwin piano which he uses, has
gone to Mexico for a igeries of piano recitals in the
larger cities of that republic.
Your used piano will sell IF you use this service.
Your old piano keyboards recovered now at
prices to meet conditions. Send in a set
and be convinced. Standard weight grained
