This class of legislation for the protection of the innocent purchaser seems to be spreading rapidly, and it is predicted that very soon many other states, including all Western states, will have such laws. It is claimed that firms conducting these piano contests usually do award and deliver (in accord- ance with the advertised rules of the contest) the free prizes to the few who win them, and that this part of their strict compliance with the advertised rules of the contest makes it easier to convince the contestants who hold credit orders (to be applied as part payment on the purchase price of a piano or player piano) that these credit orders have some value, but it has been proven time and again that credit orders issued by firms conducting these piano contests have no real value, for the reason that the prices of the pianos are either raised to cover them, higher than the same pianos would be held or priced by firms not conducting such contests, but doing In other words, firms conducting these fraudulent piano contests often sell a piano for, say $275.00, which would regularly sell for $175.00 if no contest was being held, and no credit order w as to be redeemed. It is also claimed that persons or firms conducting these fraudulent piano contests usually, if possible, bring into connection with the contest, in some way or other, the name of some prominent person or firm, so as to make it appear that the contest is fair, or else such person or firm would not-allow their name so used, and it is said that this is often done by having some prominent man, or men, to act as judges in the awarding of the free prizes, or by purchasing goods from a reliable firm to be given away as free prizes. It is claimed as justification for the enactment of these laws prohibiting fraudulent piano contests, that the contestants are at a disadvantage because they are generally unfamiliar with the prices of pianos, mainly on account of the many different makes and grades, and that for this reason, firms conducting these contests find it easy, before issuing credit orders, to raise the prices on the pianos, if they are not already held high enough to cover the highest credit order issued, and thereby fraudulently charge (the contestant holding the smaller credit order) more for the piano than would be charged if no such contest sale was on, and no credit order to be It is claimed that where firms have been brought to account for the violation of these laws, brought forward various kinds of manufactured evidence such as printed price cards,, catalogues with the prices shown therein, and the like, to try to prove that the prices of the pianos had not been raised for the contest sale, but after proof was produced that these prices were specially prepared for use during the contest, they almost invariably set up the further defense that evenif the prices had been raised in amount equal to the higher credit order, the holder was not defrauded, as he was not paying more for the piano than he would if and no credit order to be redeemed, persons holding the smaller credit order was not fraudulent owing to the fact that the law doés not prohibit a merchant from selling his merchandise cheaper to one person than to another, and further that the exces- sive charge was necessary in order to cover the free prizes awarded in such contests, and to defray the expenses of heavy advertising, but notwithstanding this defense, many have been convicted for conducting fraudulent ptsno contests in states where such contests are prohibited. In the year 1911, a former manager of the Bush & Lane Company’s store at Seattle put on a piano contest, but soon after the knowledge of this reached the company’s Home Office, he found himself without a position, and other em- ployes of the Bush & Lane Piano Company who have since attempted this or similar methods for getting business have soon found their places filled by men whose ideas of the piano business conform to the Bush & Lane Piano Com- pany’s policy, which policy opposes contests and other like methods of procur- ing business IT IS OUR POLICY TO SELL PIANOS AND LIKE MERCHANDISE AT THE LOWEST POS.
