The guarantee we give in writing on the Orkin
Bros, club piano is as strong as words can make it
Almost any piano can muster up a guarantee of some
sort. Some pretty poor pianos sometimes are backed by
fairly good guarantees, while on the other hand some mighty
good good pianos are handicapped by poor guarantees. But
almost without exception, all guarantees are .vague and misleading.
There are a whole lot of "ifs" and "ands" in them.
One guarantee will read, "If there is the presence of rust, it is an evidence th it
the piano has heen exposed to dampness," etc.
Another reads, "if the varnish crazej or
checks it islue to climatic conditions over which
we have no control," etc., and etc.. and s on,
through them all. It is "if" this and "if" that, un
til great host of piano guarantees means abso
lutely nothing.
The thing to do when buying a piano is, first,
to look to the reliability of the house with which
you are dealing and then to look at the reputation of
the piano itself. With these 100 Orkin Bros, club
t -i . .1 .
planus, we ourselves guarantee mem. We are
sponsors for them.
We have gotten up the strongest guarantee we know how to make. If the
English language can make one stronger, we are willing to sign it. We have elim
inated every "if" and every "doubt." The language of the guarantee is the spirit
of it, which is to give each and every person who joins the Orkin Kros. piano club
positive and absolute protection in his investmmt. We print herew ith a copy of
the guarantee which is handed to each and every member, over the signature of
Orkin Bros, the moment they join the club.

Printed right across the face of the con
tract is an agreement' that gives to
each and every club member the
privilege of exchanging his club pi
ano, at any time within one (1) year,
without one penny s loss.
It is just like this:
You join the club you then, as a club member, be
come entitled to all its advantages and privileges.
One of these privileges is A year's trial of the piano. In other words-the
Club member ha one full year's time to fully satisfy himself as to the character of
the piano he is getting.
Suppose that year's trial
what then ?
is not satisfactorv

We wi!i exchange the piano
Hi" club, member can come to our store and
make another selection. He can select a piano of
equal rrade or a better grade. Whatever money he
ht paid, whether it is I40, S50, too, $ 100 or whatever
the amount, will be credited to the price of his new
pi-t 1 ). and we will take the original club piano back

The Crowning Idea
of the Club
the life Assurance feature
t
"If the signer of this contract should die during the life
thereof, and all weekly payments have been paid when due, the
remaining install nsits will ba cancelled forthwith, and a receipt
in full for the piano turned over 10 the family of the deceased."
This is a fttmple statement without anv frills
that covers the whole storv. and it is made in writing,
rijfht in tin face of the contract We want this club
t b co-operative and helpful to each and every mem
ber in it. We want th; saving to each and everv
member to be the greatest possible. We want ev
ery protection that we can think of to fQ to all its
members. In short, we want this biff deal, with which
to inaugurate the naming of the Orkin Bros, club pi
ano to be a standing advertisement for us as long
as we are in business, and this life assurance idea
is its crowning feature.
.If the head of the family dies if the bread
winner dies if the source of income is stopped by
death the piano is not lost to the family. The family
dors not have to work and worry to meet the remain
ing payments. They are immediately cancelled and
a clear "receipt in full" is given to the family, isn't
this a comforting and reassuring idea?
