3I The realization that the best
article can be bought from the
manufacturer at a smaller
price is being appreciated more
each day.
$ Purchasing from a dealer is
like receiving an anonymous
letter, the maker's name is
concealed and you must pur
chase entirely on the say so of
the dealer, who rarely ever
knows Piano value.
I When purchasing from the
manufacturer who brands his
goods and advertises them
you are assured of real Piano
value for he could not afford
to take the responsibility if
his product did not stand up.
I We are the only Piano manu
facturers in Philadelphia
our instruments always carry
the name Cunningham we
never stencil a Piano any name
but our own we are proud of
our Pianos and justly so.
I We have a plan of selling that
makes it possible for any home
to have a Piano of merit at a
price that is no higher than
you would have to pay a dealer
for an inferior instrument
whose origin is unknown.
