I feel as though I could write an advertisement,
arid I am going to. I feel as though I could write
a great advertisement and I could if Tcould
only put on paper what is in my mind and heart
to write.
This big piano club which will be brought to a
close Jan. 31, is inspiring. It has been the most
inspiring work in which I have ever participated.
Buying and selling generally does not thrill.
Cf But the very thought of a big enterprise like
this buying 500 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.
Cf But the most inspiring moments are those spent
with the club members themselves upon the floor.
Cf I personally talked with dozens of them. I
believe I 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 I was taken into the
music circle of many a home much more than I
ever was before since I have been in the piano
The Club Closes for
business and I know what this club means - and
is to its members.
Cf I am proud of this club, I am more proud of it
than anything we have done before.
Cf This department of our great store is one of
much importance, as you know. It is, perhapsnot
the oldest, but 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, Wyoming, Southern South
Dakota and Iowa and we are all proud of the standing and
reputation of our piano department. '
Cjf But when it comes right down to accomplishment to
things actually done, it is as I say "I am more proud of the
club than anything we have done before."
Cf These 500 persons have a most intimate relation to our house.
1 heir success and ours are identical.
Cjf The idea "you help me and I will help you ff permeates
this whole proposition so thoroughly that some way I can't help
but feel that these club members will be like 500 stockholders
all out on the "picket line" looking out for the fair name and
well-being of our house a permanent advertisement better
thananj' one can write.
Cf 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.
