in Mr, Robinson, our General Manager, has asked me to write an advertisement Chickering Kurtzman Ivers & Pond Huntington Segerstrom Sterling Player Pianos and Victor Talking Machines trtPF" '5 ' SJ m Chickering Kurtzman lvers & Pond Huntington Segerstrom Sterling PlayerPianos and Victor Talking Machines . Pianos Leaving Omaha Store for Alliance Sale I feel as though 1 could write an advertisement, and 1 am going to. 1 feel as though I could write a great advertisement and 1 could if 1 could only put on paper what is in my mind and heart to write. This big piano club which will be brought to a close May 3 1 , is inspiring. It has been the most inspiring work in which F have ever participated. Selling pianos generally does not thrill. But the very thought of a big enterprise like this selling 1 00 pianos organizing a club to take them each and every member to be of the same mind the success of one dependent upon the success of the other each and all to share in bene fits and privileges not known in the general range of everyday business is thrilling. It furnishes a new sensation. But the most inspiring moments are those spent with the club members themselves upon the floor. I personally talked with a number of them. 1 believe 1 talked with at least one out of every four of the members. I learned first-handed a great deal about their ambitions their inclinations their purposes. Someway, I fancy that 1 was taken into the "music circle of many a home much more than I ever was before since I have been in the piano business and I know what this club means and is to its members. 1 am proud of this club, I am more proud of it than anything we have done before. This department of the great store in Omaha is one of much importance, as you know. It is, per haps, not the oldest, but it is generally conceded to be the largest piano business in Nebraska and one of the largest in the Middle West. It reaches out for business over a wide scope of territory. Covering the States of Nebraska, Wyom ing, Southern South Dakota and Iowaand we are all proud of the standing and reputation of our piano department and the progressive spirit of our general manager. But when it comes right down to accomplishment to things actually done, it is as 1 say--"I am more proud of the club than anything we have done be fore. These 1 00 persons have a most intimate relation to our house. Their success and ours is identical. The idea "you help me and I will help you" perme ates this whole proposition so thoroughly, that some way I canYhelp but feel that these club members will be like 1 00 stockholders, all out on the "picket line," looking out for the fair name and the well being of our house-a permanent advertisement better than anyone can write. Am I inspired with the plans and purposes of the club? Most assuredly -it has been a great success, and has done more than anything else to place the stamp of approval on the pianos we sell.
