GOLDEN AGE PIANO CLUB
* • ' ' '3
And Get the Benefit of the Tremendous Saving in Price
. * • ”
The less money you waste on agents’ commissions and dealers’ profits, the farther your money will go in buy
ing QUALITY and DURABILITY, the two big items, in piano values. Club members write us that they are
simply astonished at the exquisite tone, the surpassing beauty of design and finiish, and the splendid construction
of the pianos furnished by the Club. They cannot understand how it is possible to furnish sueh superb pianos
and player pianos at the prices granted to Club members. But to anyone who knows the inside of the piano busi
ness, it is all very simple. The explanation lies in “The Power of Numbers.” What is impossible for ONE is easy
for ONE HUNDRED. An army of one hundred buyers is entitled to and receives the MAXIMUM Factory dis
count, and that cuts a TREMENDOUS slice off the selling price. ,
CLUB NOT AN EXPERIMENT NOR A SCHEME. ' ’
The Advertising Manager of the Golden Age and the Managers of the Club are occasionally asked whether
the Club is simply a theory or scheme, or an actual fact. To this we reply that the Club is the greatest and most
significant fact in the history of the piano business. \ Some have asked us whether one hundred people really join
and form the Club. To these we reply that more than ten clubs one of the hundred bona fide members each have al
ready been duly formed and that the plan has proven so extremely helpful and popular that it now requires from
four to five clubs each year. Over one thousand enthusiastic members stand ready to give you the benefit of their
experience. Some of these may be your friends, or people you know. We have printed hundreds of their letters of
endorsement in a book and would be glad to send you a copy on request. Thousands endorse the plan,—not a sin
gle case of dissatisfaction. .
HERE ARE A FEW TYPICAL LETTERS
They tell of the superior quality of the instruments; of the lifetime guarantee of quality; of the big saving
in price; of the convenient plan of payment; of the protection to your family in the event of your death before
the instrument is fully paid for; of the uniform courtesy and consideration which they have received at the
hands of the Managers. They say that they are delighted with every feature of the Club. Read these samples,
then write for the booklet which contains hundreds of them.
“We have one of your Farand Cecilian Player Pianos and are mosit delight
ed with it. All who have ever heard it are in an agreement that it is one of
the very best combinations that has ever been put on the market. de
siring such an instrument will certainly do well to examine yours, and if they
will only give it a trial, I feel sure that they will look no further.” . mrmiTwniwmiHimwiiiiiFiww timiF

(Note: Dr. Broughton is a Minister of world-wide reputation, his church
in London being, as you probably know, one of the largest in the world. The
Player he has is the same as that offered by the Club.) ||
“The Club Piano that I bought from you last April gives perfect satis
faction. It’s tone is just as round and sweet as it was the day it was placed
in my home. I have three daughters taking music and they practice on it ■Msil || \
every day. It would advise anyone who wants a good piano to join the Club ' ...V'S ' ;
and get the best. The Club Plan is exceptionally good, as it places a fine ‘
piano in reach of anyone who wishes to buy.”
MRS. T. s. MARTIN, Greenville, S.C
“I have had the Ludden & Bates Piano now almost a year and would
not take twice the amount of money that I paid for it. If I wanted to buy a
dozen more, I would buy a Ludden & Bates Piano every time. Not only my I , t
family but everybody that has seen it and heard it just thinks there is noth
ing like it.” MR. & MRS. JOHN A. SMITH, Harrison, Ga. U
“In purchasing a Ludden & Bates Piano I was satisfied I should make no
mistake, and after a trial of over a year I can testify that it is better than I ex
pected. Am so well pleased that if I were in need of another Piano should 4 ; ‘ ■
certainly call on you again.” JOHN R. DELANEY, Key West, Fla. \ W- ’ ' '

“The prompt and more than courteous attention which I have always m
received at your hands would make me a friend of the Ludden & Bates Piano

gives entire satisfaction.” A. L. COLLINS Oneco Fla ~ x x ,
