Prlco 50 cents. Fostef-MHburn Co, Buffalo, N. Y, Proprietors Found Several $1000 and Numerous $800 and $600 Pianos Sold Yesterday at Eilers Music House and Is Proud to Be a Portlander. "The frantic advertising that seems to be indulged in by concerns who are to all appearances desperately, though heroically, endeavoring to compete with Eilers Music House almost gave us the impression that the piano trade of Portland had degenerated inSo the sale of so much junk," said a caller yesterday at Eilers Music House. "My wife investigated every one of the so-called bargain advertisements offered recently in the papers, ' ' he continued, "but she simply went home in disgust. "Then our friend told us that wo were making a mistake. That we ought tc have gone in the first place to the new Eilers Music House, at Seventh and Alder streets, which somehow we had overlooked. Thus we determined to call upon the old stand-by home dealers, and we were certainly delighted with the magnificent instruments and the tremendous assortment, and also the aston ishingly low prices upon same, that were to be found in the beautiful new establishment that you now occupy." It is needless to state that this gentleman bought a piano, bought a fine piano a $575 Sohmer an instrument that will be a source of-joy and satis faction to his family for generations to come. But when he talked about the piano trade degenerating into a junk busi ness we showed him a beautiful Mottled Mahogany $1000 Lester Player Piano that Mr. Thomas A. Duff bought, although Mr. Duff didn't have to pay quite that amount of money for this piano, since Eilers Musio House is no longer ruled, or "injunctioned" by the Player Piano Combine. We showed the gentleman a magnificent Mottled Mahogany genuine $850 Chickering Upright, of largest size, which was selected by Mr. J. 0. Frehan just a few moments before. This Chickering has won much admiration in the Alder-street show window of late. We showed him also an elegant Hallet & Davis Player Piano in a Burl Walnut case, which was selected by Mr. A. H. Hoeff. These are only a few of the costly instruments that we showed him which had been sold during the day, and when we showed him where each day we were selling that many and more of the Nation's choicest-instruments Kim balls, and Sohmers, and Chickerings, and Autopianos he was not only delighted, but took new faith, so to say, in the community in which he lives, and could not help but rejoice in the prosperity of the people who are thus giving substantial evidence of the unbounded prosperity that Portlanders enjoy. FOURTEEN OF THEM FOR RENT. As advertised yesterday, the remaining 14 of the 63 new pianos in tho little sale just closed will be rented. There are three to be had at $3 monthly rent. There are four that will cost $4 a month rent. Two will cost $4.50 a month rent. And the remainder will be rented for $5 a month- Parties agreeing to keep these pianos longer than six months will have no cartage to pay, either for. delivery or for return of them. Telephone or call at Eilers Music House, now at Seventh and Alder. IN THE MEANTIME, piano selling supplying good, honest, dependable pianos for less money than can any other dealer, or branch house, or agency goes merrily on. , . , . , , The frantic endeavor of tacky branch concerns to compete with an insti tution like Eilers Music House has developed into desperate appearing adver tising, but this does not mean, by any means, that the piano business now adays has "deteriorated into nothing more or less than the sale of sd much junk." ,., Bear in mind that fine pianos at reasonable prices, including the world s best the ChickerLag, and the wonderful new Autopiano, as well as the Soh mer, the Hazelton, the Kimball grands and uprights, altogether 40 different makes are for sale at Eilers Music House at prices so low and on terms so reasonable that no home nowadays need be without a piano.
