Gentlemen: . ,
Answering your valued inquiry I. bee,
to say that my experience with your-in-,:
struments has been in the highest degree;
satisfactory. According to my books Thare
sold over 1600 Kroeger Pianos in -this ter
ritory, and this should qualify me to pass
judgment upon them. When I say that I re
gard the Kroeger Piano as the very great
est Piano value on the market I am but
stating the simple truth. To that I nay
add' that it has always given the utmost;
satisfaction to my customers, and' I con
aider it for excellency Qf tone quality1,,,
fluency of touch, and Last but most imrj
portant, durability, such a Piano as a
dealer can pin his faith to "with the pos
itive assurance that the instrument will v
make good all that may be claimed for "it.
I'remain, Yours very truly, - v
