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 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 that
the piano has been exposed to dampness," etc.
Another reads, "if the varnish crazes or
checks it is due to climatic conditions over which
we have no control," etc., and etc., and so on,
through them all. It is "if" this and "if" that, un
til a 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 tiros, club
t . i .1 nr
pianos, we ourselves guarantee tnem. 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 Bros, piano club
positive and absolute protection in his invtftmrnt, We print herewith 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.
Club members get a
full year's trial
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.
Out- of these privileges is A year's trial of the piano. In other words the
club member has one full year's time to fully satisfy himself as to. the character of
the piano he is getting.
Suppose that year's trial is not satisfactory
what then ?
Orkin Bros, club piano
Five Year Guarantee
We guarantee Orkin Bros. Club
Piano (No ) to be froee
from defective material or workman
ship (or the period of five years
from date. Should same arise with
in that time, we agree to repair it
or replace It if uecesaary with a
new instrument without charge, upon
Its return to us.
Signed. ORKIN BROTHERS
We will exchange the piano
Th' club member can come to our store and
make another selection. He can select a piano of
equal grade or a better grade. Whatever money he
h is paid, whether it is 140. $50, $60, 100 or whatever
the amount, will be credited to the price of his new
piano, and we will take the original club piano back
without the loss of a single cent to him.
The Crowning Idea
of the Club
the life Assurance feature
if the signer of this contract should die during the life
thereof, and all weekly payments have been paid when due, the
remaining installments will be cancelled forthwith, and a receipt
in full for the piano turned over to the family of the deceased."
This is a simple statement without any frills
that covers the whole storv. and it is made in writing,
right in the face of the contract. We want this club
to be co-operative and helpful to each and every mem
ber in it. We want the saving to each and everv
member to be the greatest possible. We want ev
ery protection that we can think of to go to all its
members. In short, we want this big 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, ami 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
leath the piano is not lost to the family. The family
does 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?
