Excerpt from Condensed Catalogue of String Instruments: Bows, Cases, Strings, Etc Established in 1883, the year 1917 is the 34th of constantly and increasingly satisfactory existence of our house. Satisfactory in more than one way, to do more business every year is of paramount importance, to add to that an ever increasing circle of business friends, is, however, to us of vastly greater value. That we have succeeded in doing this is because our motto has been ever to guarantee perfect satisfaction with every article we sell. This catalogue is issued at a time when our line of business is adversely affected through the entire absence of supplies from our regular sources. Up to the year 1914, it can safely be said that 80% of the goods sold by musical instrument dealers, especially in the stringed instrument line, originated in Germany. This source of supply has temporarily ceased. From France also, where formerly considerable goods were made in this line, importations have been very small, and the advanced costs and large transportation charges have made for greatly advanced prices. At the time we issue this catalogue, the cheaper grades of violins and bows are being obtained from Japan. This is a new departure, and we supply orders for these goods, reserving however the privilege of disclaiming any responsibility as to whether or not they will prove satisfactory. We assure our patrons of our very best care in selecting violins and bows, and should matters adjust themselves so that we can again offer goods as formerly, we will do so, and shall at all times make our charges at the lowest rates possible.
