THE RUDLOPH WURLITZER CO., CINCINNATI, O.<br />
The Wurlitzer Violin Department<br />
There is no branch <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Wurlitzer business in which <strong>the</strong> house takes more pride than <strong>the</strong> Violin Department.<br />
Our experience <strong>of</strong> more than half a century in <strong>the</strong> manufacture, importation and sale <strong>of</strong> Violins has resulted in our undis<br />
puted leadership in this field. We sell more than 20,000 violins annually<br />
From our extensive and varied lines, we guarantee to suit every customer's taste, as to make, model, wood, age, tone, resonance,<br />
color and trimming. No o<strong>the</strong>r house pretends to have so complete and varied a line and certainly none can successfully compete<br />
with us on price.<br />
Musical quality is everything in a violin. Without it none is worth having. The violin buyer is far more likely to get satis<br />
faction in his purchase from almost any musical firm than from a general supply house that knows nothing <strong>of</strong> music, and cares less.<br />
All our violins have this feature <strong>of</strong> musical quality in a marked degree—<strong>the</strong> utmost possible at <strong>the</strong> price. Each and every<br />
one is designed to improve with age and usage. Our line from start to finish represents <strong>the</strong> pick <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world's market, which was<br />
naturally tendered us, because <strong>of</strong> our long established business and <strong>the</strong> prestige <strong>of</strong> our house and <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> our business.<br />
I We <strong>of</strong>fer <strong>the</strong> most careful and painstaking expert service to our patrons in selection. A large part <strong>of</strong> our business consists in fur<br />
nishing pr<strong>of</strong>essional and amateur players in all parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world a satisfactory instrument from <strong>the</strong>ir written statement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir per<br />
sonal wants in tone quality, model and price. We will gladly send one or more selected violins costing $10.00 or more to responsible<br />
parties on trial, when this plan is thought necessary to secure <strong>the</strong> desired instrument.<br />
/ With every violin sold at $10.00 or more, we issue an engraved certificate <strong>of</strong> value (see reproduction below) <strong>the</strong> terms <strong>of</strong> which<br />
are that in <strong>the</strong> event <strong>of</strong> a purchaser's desiring a more expensive instrument, <strong>the</strong> full price is allowed in exchange, provided <strong>the</strong> violin<br />
is not damaged in excess <strong>of</strong> ordinary wear and tear. In case you wish to sell <strong>the</strong> violin at private sale, this certificate is especially<br />
valuable.<br />
