PIANOS BY THE CARLOAD.
W. A. Burr, the enterprising music
dealer of this city, today received di
rect from Chicago a carload of
Bush & Lnne, nnd Victor piano.
Heretofore Mr. Burr has always se
cured his pianos through Portland
houses, acting as their agent for
Douglas county. Upon getting a
chance to secure pianos from Bush
& Lane, Mr. Burr Immediately or
dered a car load. The reduced prices
that he will be able to sell them for,
being so much less than when se
cured through Portland houses, he
anticipates selling the entire carload
within a very short time. These two
makes of pianos, the "Bush & Lnne"
and the "Victor", are both high
grade instruments, and the Bush &
Lane especially. Is one of the most
beautiful ever brought to Roseburg.
the finish being perfect and the tone
one that would delight an artist. In
accord with the improvement nnd
booster spirit prevailing In Roseburg,
Mr. Burr has thoroughly remodelled
the interior of his store, making a
room especially for the display of
pianos and also making the interior
generally more attractive and con
venient. Hoy's Life Hnvctl.
