- An Open Letter

Many of our readers have planned for a number

of years to purchase a Piano or Organ for their home, but have been putting off the purchase frdni time to time thinking that the price might possibly become cheaper. This ' might have been the case had it not been for the WAR. Everything we purchase we have to pay double the former price. We herewith give a few reasons for the advance in cost of Pianos and Organs. The making oi munitions throughout Canada has made a heavy demand on skilled labor, and there hasbeen fan exodus .of men from the Piano trade to take up the work of munitions. In order to hold their help, they have been forced to in-:reasc their wages from to time. In 1914 when War broke out, two hundred and fifty men enlisted from the lleintzman and Karn-Morris factories. Many of these men were the most prominent in the piano business. Since 1914 the raw materials have advanced as follows.

l-lard Woods 35 per cent. Veneers 70 per cent.

Brass Goods 85 per cent. Screws. 190 er cent, Nails 90 per_ce_nt, _Benzine 130 per cen t,~Sii)ellacs 240 ptr cent, Stains 650 per cent, Glue 165 per cent, Coal 50 per cent, aiid s_o on down the list and there is' no tell- ing where it will end.

_ '1`o those who have been _waiting to purchase a Piano, we would not advise them to put it off. Before many months the price will be beyond the reach of men in ordinary circumstances. _
