FREE SWIMS OFFERED AT THE NATAT0RIUM FINE PIANOS AT MIGHTY SMALL PRICES Only One Week More to Secure Your Choice of Highest Guaranteed Pianos at Unheard of Prices Every home in Medford and vicinity may now own a piano, whether it be a brand new piano or one which' is slightly used. The past week has broken all records in piano selling in Medford. "We have taken in exchange on Player Pianos several good instruments, most of them inexcellent condition, which must be disposed of in the next few days. EILER'S PIANO HOUSE is noted for always furnishing the most for the money; ' the very best of everything at the price that's right" has been the watchword here always, but our word for it, pianos good ones dependable ones the kind that every one loves and cherishes, were never heretofore obtainable at such low prices, and what is more, never heretofore could a piano be obtained on such wonderfully little payments. THE ADVANTAGES OF BUYING OF EILEHS MUSIC HOUSE We will sell nothing that we know is not right. When we sell to you it is with the knowledge and belief that, if we satisfy you, you will influence your friends to deal with us. We have utilized every modern economy in order that we might give better value and better satisfaction to our patrons. Buying and shipping in tremendous quantities; factory inspection of pianos by our expert representa tives; a binding guarantee with every piano sold; a corps of expert tuners and regulators all these have contrib uted toward making the big following we now have and making our business what it is. As the piano purchaser knows that advantages in buying from the Eilers Music House, so the manufacturer realizes the advantage in selling through Eilers Stores. No three piano stores in any large city combined can offer the piano purchaser more variety in pianos'than we do. From America's oldest and supreme the grand old Chickering to the genuine Autopiano the latest creation there is scarcely a name, well and favorably known to the piano trade, that does not find representation in the Eilers Stores. The Kimball, the Lester, the Smith & Barnes, the Leland, the Hazelton, the Decker, the Schumann, the Hobart M. Cable, the Uallct & Davis, the Marshall & Wendell, the Story & Clark all these and many others are significant of piano excellence. &AWMk&&iz--t'is NOTICE TO CHECK HOLDERS Some people who have won cash credits in our recent advertising campaign ma' wonder how it is possible for the manufacturers to give an actual cash credit on the purchase of a piano. We want you to know why it is possible and how7 in the end it is going to be profitable to the manufacturer's, the Eilers Music House and yomself. In every large business now-a-days advertising is an important feature. Few people buy more than one piano in a lifetime. It is therefore necessary for the piano manufacturers and dealers to continually find new customers. Some try to accomplish this by magazine advertisements, which in some magazines cost as much, as $1000 a page. Others spend big sums of money in newspaper advertising. A number of manufacturers pay large sums of money to great foreign artists, such as Paderewski, to play their pianos in public, hoping in this way to interest piano buyei-s. Others spend vast sums in billboard advertising, theater curtains, programs, etc., etc. Most dealers pay commissions to music teachers and others in order to get their influence. Did it ever occur to 3-011 that all this expense adds not one cent in value to the piano itself? The manufacturers who are interested in this publicity campaign believe that the best advertising they can do is to place their pianos in homes in different portions of the state, where they will be played and heard, and seen. They believe that it is much fairer and better to take the money that ordinarily goes for this expensive advertising and give it to a limited number of piano buyers, each one of whom will advertise these pianos in their diffeemt local ities. These pianos so placed will interest the friends and neighbors of the purchasers and create more piano buy ers. That in turn enables Eilers Music House to buy more pianos from the factories. The manufacturers interested in this contest firmly believe in this method of advertising. Eveiy satisfied cus tomer becomes an advertiser for the piano for years and years. j - i That is good business. It is good sense. And the money that usually goes to subsidize great artists, to buy ex travagant newspaper and magazine advertising, and to pay commissions, goes into the pocket, where it belongs. This explains why the prices of the pianos are identical yl the same, whether you have a credit check or not, wheth er vou buj' for cash or on time. DON'T FAIL TO CALL TOMORROW.
