We do not hesitate to admit that now and then there is a dealer to be found who is really unreliable and a little off-color in his dealings, but such dealers unsually unconsciously, by their ridiculous advertising, hoist the danger signal high enough to warn the very people they intend to deceive and take advantage of, so for this reason they are not very harmful, but are just somewhat of a nuisance that will have to be tolerated a little longer, but soon they will go by the way of the old-fashioned crooked dealers of years ago, for the piano business is becoming more and more every day a business with a future greatness, and a great business cannot be built upon a dishonest foundation. i Two different dealers may conduct their business differently, and this even in the matter of prices, and yet they may at the same time conduct their business honestly. For instance, it may be the policy of one dealer to do just a fair-sized business and make a fairly good, though not an unreasonable or dishonest profit on each individual sale, and again, it may be the policy of the other dealer to reach out for a large business, with a willingness to take a little less profit on each individual sale, in order to get that large business, knowing, of course, that the large business, if he is willing to strive for it, finance it and properly con- i duct it, is the best and most profitable. F It is our policy to reach out for a large business, ever ready to make such sacrifices and put forth such efforts as are necessary to that end, and for the measure of success which we have attained in this respect we are truly grateful, but we wish to further extend our business, and feel that if our policy in this respect, as well as our policy in general, can be brought before all of the people of this state, they, as well as ourselves, will be greatly ben- efited, they by the knowledge that a substantial saving can be made when the time comes for them to purchase a piano, and we by the increased business which always enables us to further reduce our prices, and at the same time very materially aid in the increased pro- duction of our factories, which are among the greatest in America, producing strictly high- grade pianos, thus enabling them, in turn, by their increased production, to lower their prices, this benefit accruing to us, to be passed on to the retail purchaser. In support of our claim that we have always kept our prices just as low as possible, con sistent with quality, we beg to call attention to the fact that during the war times, when the peak of high prices was reached, we did not raise our prices as high by twenty per cent as many other dealers of the Pacific Coast and elsewhere, but this was on account of our pol- icy, and we do not claim that it signifies that those other dealers were getting an unrea- sonable profit—in fact, the wholesale prices of pianos were so very high at that time that we are not going to question but what every legitimate dealer was entitled to the retail price he received. However, in July, 1920, we reduced our prices, and during the following September many other dealers raised their prices, but in this same month of September wal again reduced our prices, and we made two reductions in 1921 and another reduction this year of 1922, bringing our prices down as low as we believe they will ever be. In fact, while it is doubtless true that other dealers made reductions, possibly some time in 1920 and again in 1921, and probably during the fore part of this year of 1922, yet some dealers have — again raised their prices within the past two or three months, and while it is true that we have not raised our prices for nearly three years, we may be compelled to do so next year, but we sincerely hope that this will not be necessary, for we wish to see nothing happen which might have the least tendency to prevent that large increase in our business which we feel we are entitled to year by year.
