The Dresden Piano Company is proud of the confidence placed in it by the public—a trust built up by years of honest dealing. Frankness is “The Dresden’s” motto in all its relations with a purchaser. The more the latter knows about the piano he is buying, the more likely he is to be satisfied. What the Dresden Piano Company has to offer its patrons is quality—never anything else, Had not good value been a characteristic feature with the Dresden, theirs would not be the business it is to-day. That Company has many advantages. It possesses extensive capital and an enormous output. Thus, it commands stock on a bedrock basis from the world’s foremost manufacturers. Then it possesses officers of great experience, of unrivalled judgment, and of unquestioned integrity, in whom not only has “The Dresden” the utmost confidence, but on whom the public, too, can re iy~~ to the last word.
