Six Piano-Buyers' Clubs Formed by the
House of Eilers
THE HIGEST GRADES OF BRAN-NEW UPRIGHT PIANOS,
CHOICE OF OVER THIRTY LEADING MAKES
AT THE DISPOSAL OF CLUB MEMBERS
Payments of as Little as $5 Down and $5 Monthly, or $1.25
a "Week, Makes it Possible to Secure a Good, New,
"Warranted Piano by This Method The First Three in
Each County Go Free of Deposit, So as to Place Sam
ples Everywhere at Once. Enormous Savings and
Other Benefits to Be Effected in the Purchase Price to
Members $117 to $164 for Regular $200 to $250 Pi
anos All Others at Corresponding Reductions.
Six Co-Operatlve Piano-Buying Clubs
organized at the Eilers Retail Sales
rooms, corner Park and Washington Sts.,
Portland, are the greatest co-operative
echeme ever entered Into by the general
public since John Wanamaker, ex-United
States Postmaster-General, started
ut to get 75,000 people to buy the Amer
ican Dictionary on the co-operative plan.
When Wanamaker closed his now fam
ous Dictionary Clubs, lie announced that
the united purchase of the one book by
eliminating the retailer's profits and usual
Belling expenses, had actually saved these
liook buyers exactly $103,347. So great
had been the saving by the simple appli
ation of the co-operative Idea In buying
fcooks In large numbers direct. ,
Taking this feature and applying It
to their piano selling, Eilers Piano House
in November, 1903, Inaugurated a series
of piano clubs, and in a period of some
thing less than 40 days admitted BOO
members to a co-operative piano sale.
At the end of this sale the books were
thrown open to the public and It was an
nounced by a committee Invited to figure
the estimates that something like $40,
000 had been actually Baved to the peo
ple In this one combined purchase.
Now, not only residents of Multnomah
County, but of the entire state, East,
South, West and North are to have the
benefit of a similar co-operative on a
ery much larger scale, and It Is safe to
eay that, with the positive evidence of
what other people have already succeeded
in saving the offer will not remain open
Tery long.
The formation of these six clubs In
reality means the arrangement of six
trades of pianos, and the Joining of
one of the clubs means the choosing of
one of these grades at a stipulated sav
ing. That Is all there Is to It. The Eilers
Company agrees to effect a saving of at
least $75 on the average grade piano.
Club A will consist of 157 pianos that
sell regularly In the old retail way for
from $200 to $300. The club payments
on these will be $5 down and $1.25 per
week. And these pianos our company
agrees to supply at from $117 to $222.
Club B. pianos (232 in all), ranging In
prices from $275 to $375, will be sold
for from $185 to $278, with deposits of
$7.50 and $1.00 per week.
Club C pianos, embracing 208 of the
average highest-grade pianos that are
found in the greatest number of homes,
and that sell In the regular way for from
$350 to $450, will jro at prices running
from $247 to $336, according to the exact
grade and make, and will be sent out on
deposits of $12.50 down, and payments of
$2 weekly.
Club D. will consist of 154 of the most
costly American upright pianos made,
Pianos cased In elaborately finished, beau
tifully hand carved mahoganies, English
oaks and walnuts. They are pianos that
sell for from $125 to $550, and which club
members will secure on the co-operative
plan from $312 up. Payments will be from
$20 to $25 down, and $2.50 per week.
Club E has the costliest grands and
uprights in special styles, all of them
regularly priced at over $550. There will
be 141 members In Club E and they will
effect an average saving of $147 on each
piano. Payments are from $25 to $50
cash and $3 to $5 weekly.
In Club F will be found numerous odd
pianos, manufacturers' samples, discon
tinued '04 catalogue styles of Chlckering,
Webers, Kirriballu, Krakauers, Crowns,
also instruments of numerous different
makes that have been received by us In
part payment for new Chickerlngs, and
Webers, and Kimballs and for Pianola
pianos. Not a single one of Club F pi
anos, however, show any sign of usage.
There will be only 108 members and pay
ments are $10 down and $1.75 weekly.
Members of any club may arrange pay
ments by the month If desired. Re
member also there are no Initiation fees,
or duen or extras of any kind. Our guar
antee of perfect satisfaction or no sale
goes with every transaction, great or
small.
These clubs will be restricted to the
exact number of members stated and no
more.
The pianos, by the way, shipped by
what Is known as our "harness" method
the method of harnetorlng pianos in
the cars Instead of loading them first Into
boxes In Itself will effect a saving of
about $14,000 In freight and cost of boxes,
and the Increased number of pianos to
the car.
In order to at once place samples of
these pianos everywhere, Eilers Piano
House will offer to the first three people
in each county In Oregon Joining a club
the privilege of choosing whatever piano
they may desire, and having It put Into
their homes without a dollar of deposit
or a cent of expense. We hope there will
not be too many of you try to be one of
the first three, but If you do come In num
bers, rest assured we shall try to make
some other pleasant concession to you
all.
Remember the place, 351 Washington
street, corner of Park. The Eilers re
tall salesrooms, the biggest, busiest and
best piano dealers with stores at San
Francisco, Stockton, and Oakland, Cal. ;
Spokane nnd Seattle, Washington, Boise,
and Ivfwiston, Idaho. Everything we sell
we guarantee.
Deserve Your Patronage.
The growth of a commur.lty and the
' success of Its local Institutions depends
entirely on the loyalty of Its people. It
I is well enough to preach "patronize home
I Industry" but except the service given
at a home Institution equals that of out-of-town
enterprises, this argument car-
' rles no weight and Is entirely dlsregard
j ed, as It should be. But with Oregon City
people It Is different. A few months
I ago E. li. Johnson established the Cas
cade Laundry. It Is equipped with the
latest Improved machinery and Is dally
turning out work that Is equal to any
and superior to much of the laundry
work that Is being done In Portland.
Being a home Institution and furnishing
employment for many Oregon City people
It is enjoying an immense patronage.
The high standard of the work being
done commends it to the general public.
Laundry left at the O. K. barber shop will
be promptly called for and delivered to
any part of the city. Telephone 1204.
