During the year just closed we have sold a greater number of these musical instruments than ever was sold before in the county by any firm. This great increase in business is partly on account of the better times but we ascribe most of it to the fact that our dealings are fair and the people know it. The people are also learning that it is the poorest of policy to buy from catalog concerns who promise anything to induce you to buy.
