It differs only from a regular piano in that is has an extra action within it which makes it playable by any and Why should not all the pianos sold be player-pianos, excepting that they cost a little more? But this is drifting from the subject. The point in mind is—there remains but sixty ianos to be sold through iberal plans. There can be no further wyright, 1012, by Stone & “MoCarrick, Ine. ‘K TOTHING can tell the story of the suc- N cess of this sale so well as this. hundred and forty of the three hundred player-pianos intended for this isale have already been sold. The heading of thisadtellstwothings: First—that the sale has been an overwhelming success— it tells of the growing popularity of the player-piano. The wonder is, however, that there is not still a larger proportion of player-pianos sold to pianos. when all is said, is Hence, the Success comes where it is courted and deserved Everything that could be suggested as being of benefit to those who should want to buy a good piano, was put into this co-operative plan to make it the Every effort was put forth to bring the price down to the Second, Lvery week's extra time that was possible to add to regular piano terms was added-—the time being stretched out to one hundred and ninety-five weeks (or forty-five months) as against thirty-two months~ the usual terms, Third, The usual form of piano gtuurantees was entirely dropped, and, in its stead, a guarantee as strong as could be written in the English lan- guage was jointly signed by both the manufacturer and ourselves (as shown herewith) and given to the purchaser of each and every instrument. Fourth, It was thought that by offering to give the purchaser his money back would best assure him that he was getting a “square deal,’ and this also was included in the plan. So to every purchaser under this co- operative plan we said: “Try this piano for thirty days in your home. If you are nol satisfied, ‘Your Money Back’ ~—and no questions asked.” Fifth. ‘The idea was also advanced that a thirty days’ tiral of a piano was hardly sufficient—so that objection was met by agreeing to exchange the piano for any other new piano sold by us of equal or greater value without the loss of a single penny, al any | time up to within one year from the day it was purchased. Sixth, And, finally, the fear of lo the piano and what had been paid upon it, in case of death, before the piano was entirely paid for, was overcome by our proposing to voluntarily cancel all further payments and turn a clean receipt for the instrument over to the family of the de- ceased, Big, broad-gauged, lib ONEILL-ADAMS Co “il plan of merchandising sisn't it?
