Here are a few points to bear in mind : What is added up to make the price of the piano you buy ? First is the manufacturer's price, or wholesale price. Then the dealer's expense follows. He carries only $5,000 of stock. Now he figures in- terest on this amount at 6 per cent ; he carries in- surance which means other 6 per cent. The room he occupies is rent to pay or money invested, add- ing another 5 per cent. The man he has working for him will mean at least 3 per cent—making a to- tal of 20 per cent dealer’s expense. WHY NOT BUY FROM A LOCAL AGENT, di- rect from the manufacturer, thereby SAVING this 20 PER CENT FOR YOURSELF. Telephone, write or see. All Pianos Fully Guaranteed. Player Rolls on hand all the time.
