These instruments were inspired by some genius and met with favor because of their real music-giving value. Not only was knowledge of music confined to the few, but the knowledge of a Piano was largely limited to the professional musician or teacher. For that reason the judgment or advice of the teacher was generally sought, and wisely so by the would-be purchaser. As the country grew and the Piano industry with ft, competition naturally arose. The result was that the manufacturers and dealers practically employed the professional musician or teacher to endorse or recommend their piano, and for such service they paid a commission on any sale made through such recom- mendation. For a time this was honestly and legitimately done, but with the immense growth of the industry and the subordination of art to a form of commercial- ism, the system became an insidious evil, not only discreditable to the music-teaching profession, but unfair to the purchasing public. This commercialism in the exploiting of cheap Pianos of unknown make and of no established value, has made it very easy for the unscrupulous dealer so to manipulate prices that these underhand commis- sions are actually paid by the purchaser. So-called teachers and those who do not even call themselves teachers, have appeared in legions. They obtain the names of tive plano pur chasers, whom os Ge ae ae only on their recommendations, Then they shop among plano dealers, register the so-called prospect, and, if possible, influence the sale to the house that will pay them the largest secret commission, but in any case, they claim a commission from any dealer from whom the piano is bought, ‘What value can such recommendations have to a long suffering and patient public? It fs an evil that the purchaser not only pays for, hecanse naturally the ler must maintain his profit, but he is unknowingly paying for advice which he thinks is honestly and gratuitously given. We confess that we have been not entirely guiltless, but we, as well as other reputable Piano manufacturers have fought this evil in connection with our own business. In our efforts to eliminate those influenced solely by mercenary motives, we have no doubt, offended some teachers who honestly recommend our Pianos. This company’s business is done on a strictly one- price basis—the price plainly marked on each instru- ment so that anyone can know it; and the price is the same to everyone. And as our profit is a fair and business-like ad- vance on the actual cost to manufacture with no extras of any kind, we cannot maintain the high standard of our product and afford deductions with- out an actual loss. Therefore, in justice to every purchaser as well as the continued success and integrity of our business, we wish everyone to know that we have absolutely eliminated the giving of secret commissions of any kind whatever, We believe this will be understood by the con- scientious music teacher, who would rather honestly recommend to her pupil a piano of reputable quality than secretly to work some deal because of a remun- eration from the Piano seller, We are determined, as far as our business {s concerned, absolutely to eliminate any chance of re- flection on the teaching profession which may arise from the demands of the unscrupulous minority in a conspiracy to overcharge the buyer, We further belleve that not only the public but the music profession will sustain us in our efforts to make the Piano business clean and straightforward. Any purchaser of a Sterling Piano buys at the lowest price, his interests are first and we intend to continue to protect them. Yours truly, THE STERLING PIANO CO President, The Sterling Piano ©.
