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.
Yours truly, ,,
MRS. J. T. WIKER,
Manager of Alliance Store.
