What Our Dealers Say:
<,it \>i> PIANOS
. . . "We received the new Wurlitzer grand and are
well pleased with this fine piano. It has a splendid
tone and nice action and is a great improvement." . . .
. . . "We wish to give our hearty endorsement to the
Style R Kurtzmann. There are many things we could
say about this piano, but we believe in summing it up
that it establishes a new low price for a truly artistic
artist's piano." . . .
. . . "May we take this opportunity to compliment you
on the grand which we have just received? We be-
lieve that it is one of the finest pianos we have ever
had in our store, no matter what the price. We have
had the most critical pianists try it out and they just
rave about it. We hope to be able to report the sale
of this piano soon to one of three places where it will
be a splendid advertisement for us all, and a feather
in your cap because all of these feel that the instru-
ment is equal, if not superior, to what they deem the
is, which is their ideal." . . .
. . . "I have received the Wurlitzer grand pianos today
and iind that they are a very nice looking job." . . .
. . . "We are very much pleased with the Wurlitzer
grand, it being the nicest grand we ever received from
you." . . .
. . . "I have just unboxed the grand and I want to say
that I am more than pleased with its improvement of
case design and finish and above all the tone is cer-
tainly the most outstanding feature of the improvement.
Mr. Glidden told me when he was here that you had
made a change, and I am ready to agree that it is cer-
tainly a wonderful improvement. Frankly, I see no rea-
son why this instrument cannot be put over in a big
way and you may rest assured that I am going to fea-
ture it from now on." . . .
. . . "The Wurlitzer grand piano came this morning
and you are quite right when you wrote it was a much
better piano than those we have received of the same
style." . . .
. . . "The Wurlitzer walnut grand that we delivered
yesterday -was surely a beauty." . . .
. . . "We wish to compliment you on the splendid ac-
tion and tone of your small grand, which we believe is
responsible for the fine showing we have made with
your line." . . .
. . . "We appreciate the lovely new Wurlitzer pianos.
The tone quality is fine." . . .
. . . "We have just received the two new Wurlitzer
grands and to say that we are delighted with them, is
putting it entirely too mild. They are beautiful instru-
ments with all the points of construction and case de-
sign of much higher priced grands. We intend to fea-
ture Wurlitzer and feature it extensively in our adver-
tising and in our show window, for we are certain that
we now have the finest value in a small quality grand
in the trade." . . .
GENERAL COMMENT
. . . "We think your attitude of protecting the dealer
is decidedly in your favor and we greatly appreciate
the courtesies which you have extended us." . . .
. . . "We have been soNbusy getting ready for your
pianos that we have had no time since unpacking to
tell you that they came through fine and make a very
beautiful display. I am more than pleased with their
beauty and workmanship and we ought to go places."
. . . "I am happy to inform you that I have within the
past week been able to sell to Station WIL, St. Louis,
Missouri, two Kurtzmann Grands. I thought that you
might be interested in knowing that Kurtzmann is now
on the air in St. Louis." . . .
. . . "Have some of your pianos in tough spots down
here, I mean damp, and they sure can take it." . . .
. . . "Your Company's pianos have always enjoyed a
good reputation in this vicinity, but the very great im-
provement that has been made will, of course, serve to
still further increase their splendid reputation. All
members of our sales force are thoroughly sold on your
instruments." . . .
SPINETTE TYPE PIANOS
. . . "We received the Wurlitzer Spinette, and are very
much pleased with the case design and the tone qual-
ity." . . .
. . . "Wish to state that we are all more than pleased
with these Wurlitzer Spinette pianos. We find that the
tone is indeed very fine and also think it by far one of
the best designs out." . . .
. . . "We are very much interested in the Wurlitzer
Spinette that has just arrived. We think that this style
should intrigue anyone who is furnishing a home that
will not accommodate a small grand. It is one of the
most attention arresting styles that we have seen so
far." . . .
. . . "To be honest, we think you have done yourself
quite proud on the Wurlitzer Spinette." . . .
. . . "I had a Wurlitzer Spinette in a downtown show
window and it drew considerable attention. I brought
it into my display room today and looked it over, in
regards to action, construction, etc.. and I find it better
than expected. This is a piano that I believe will have
the most buyers." . . .
. . . "Piano arrived in good order and am well pleased.
Many thanks. Trust I may have several sales as this
looks like the best buy I know of." . . .
UPRIGHT PIANOS

and are very well pleased with it. You will please en-
ter our order for two more of these pianos for immediate
shipment." . . .

zer pianos. They are creating very much favorable
comment." . . .

and the tone is wonderful." . . .
. . . "The Wurlitzer uprights arrived and we are very
well pleased with them." . . .
. . . "The last Wurlitzer piano we received was much
improved over the others. We feel you have helped this
piano considerably. Please ship as soon as possible
another Wurlitzer upright in walnut finish." . . .
. . . "Today I sold and delivered a Wurlitzer grand to
an accomplished musician. After playing on this new
grand she said 'I like this Piano as well as an eleven
hundred piano my friend has.' She sure was thrilled
with the tone and finish."
. . . "The new pianos that have just arrived are par-
ticularly well finished, and more attractive than they
have ever been before. The Wurlitzer Spinette is a
beauty and is decorating a prominent place in our front
window, lamps lighted and everything." . . .
. . . "I want to take this opportunity to compliment you
on the wonderful improvement you have made in the
Wurlitzer piano. Much better tone and a big improve-
ment in appearance." . . .
. . . "The pianos arrived in splendid condition and are
very beautiful, especially the new Style 22 Wurlitzer
Spinette. It is very hard *o.,jexp«ess in words as to the
excellent tone quality you have mastered in the Style
22. The action is also very excellent. We feel that
the new Style 22 Wurlitzer Spinetfe is far superior to
any vertical we have had on our floor. In other words,
we wish to say that we feel you have solved and de-
signed the most beautiful vertical on the market today,
which should increase your sales 100 per cent." . . .
. . . "You will probably be interested to know that we
received the first premium on the upright piano at the
Randolph Fair, which instrument the writer is personally
pleased with. This is by far the best upright piano that
we have received." . . .
. . . "I am pleased to say that the Style 22 Spinette I
received is a very fine piano. It is satisfactory in every
particular, wonderful tone, excellent finish and is just
right in every way." . . .
. . . "We are glad to say that we are greatly pleased
with the latest Wurlitzer upright. It has much more
style and seems to have a better tone than the previous
one." . . .
. . . "The Style 22 Wurlitzer Spinette piano arrived
o.k. and it sure pleased the music teacher in both ac-
tion and tone. Thanks." . . .
. . . "O.K.
. . . "The Wurlitzer grand that we ordered came
through in good shape and we are very well pleased
with it." . . .

grand pianos. We are now offering them for sale and
they should be received very favorably." . . .
. . . "Your circular letter at hand containing informa-
tion on the Wurlitzer grand and at this time am privi-
leged to tell you how enthusiastic I am over the new
product. The piano is the nicest small grand that I have

things in the line of tone and should be complimented
for your accomplishments." . . .

to say that we are very pleased with the piano." . . .
