Pros perity is on every hand. Real estate is double what ft was two years ago, crops have been good and prices are excellent, there is plenty of work at good wages; perhaps the most marked evidence of prosperity and confidence the people have In the country Is the fact that Burr's Music House has sold two carloads of the famous Bush & Lane pianos In about two months and a half and have the third (3rd) car on the road. We attribute our success largely to the prosperity of the country, yet there are other things which should come in for their share of credit; firstly, we have never been able to offer such piano values before and, secondly, the people are waking up to this booster spirit and see the advisabil ity of patronizing home merchants. who are helping to advertise and ouiiu up me community and for which we are very grateful; and, thirdly, we have adopted a one-price system to everybody and this price away below any competition, when quality Is considered; because we are satisfied with a moderate profit and our expenses are nothing In compari son with a city house. We use no high salaried salesman, yet we are shipping in carload lots, taking cash discounts, etc., and those FOR THAT BOY kind of looking haven't always found. Clothes full of style and snap yet made with a special view to giving long and satisfactory service. BRING IN THAT BOY. we've been treating people square who have Investigated found our prices so reasonable they have not even asked us to cut these prices even for cash. The prices are the same, where time is needed. But we ask you to pay a small rate of Inter est ou the deferred payments. If you are needing anything In the line of muslcnl Instruments we ask you to please remember that the old re liable Burr's Music House, is still doing business at the old stand.
