backsround, whllo tho mnsts of sunken
vessels project from the water In the
Black Sea Then there Is tho sad beauty
of the ruins of a coast town. Many of

that the pianos sold by them are worth far more
than their published price, without giving- any
mathematical reason for the so-called reduc
tion other than their wish to impress their cus
tomers with their philanthropic dealings.
We recently read an advertisement where it
stated the founders of a well-known and at one
time highly esteemed piano manufactory were
supposed to use caution in surrounding them
selves with illustrious men, who were past mas
ters in the craft, and the enthusiasm was gen
erally shared by the workmen. But the writer
of the article, like most great writers drawing
altogether from their imagination, had only a
rumored idea of what the factory looked like,
and for good reasons forgot to say that there
was none of the original owners or craftsmen
now connected with the concern, as it had
passed into others' hands.
A similar display from an ad man's pen gave
as a reason for a price reduction that the dealer
had an agreement with the manufacturer,
stating that, because of the amount taken off
the retail price, the name of the maker should
be kept in the dark, as it might interfere with
other agencies handling the same line. There
was no necessity for doing this, however, as
such instruments are known to the trade as
"stenciled" pianos, the name of the original
makers never appearing.
We claim now and have always claimed, as the
only piano manufacturers in Philadelphia (not
withstanding some dealers' claims to the con
trary), that we can sell you equal values in
pianos at from 25 to 30 per cent below the
dealers' prices. We can do this, in the first
place, because we manufacture our pianos
right here in Philadelphia, have ample capital
and one of the best-equipped factories in the
United States in our line, all of which is applied
to produce a Cunningham-made Player-Piano
for the small price of $450 and on easy terms.
