Kt Imnorter. of Dia 180 Broadway, New ork ; N THESE DAYS we are used to talking in round So that it is not an uncommon, thing to hear or see advertised that ‘‘you can save a hundred ‘ dollars by buying this piano’’—or a “‘hundred and fifty dollars _by- ‘ buying that piano’’ or “two hundred dollars by buying the other piano.” Now, the plain facts are that it takes the hardest kind of con- ’ centration and the heartiest co-operation between the manufacturer, the dealer and the customers to effect a real, genuine saving. We are not talking now of a small reduction of say five to ten per cent. There - are circumstances coming up from time to time which mi ght make such a saving possible.
