ALDER STREETS From Portland to San Francisco. "E- A month ago before we commenced our great removal sale we offered our entire stock of bheet music and books and music al instruments outside of pianos and or gans to some local dealers here at an extremely low figure. The offer was re jected. No one seemed to have nerve enough to even make & bid for the busi ness. We then started In offering at re tall our musical goods to the general pub lic at cost and below cost, and, although our sale has been on for one month only yot we have actually received In cash during this sale more money than wo first asked for the entire business. Including fixtures and all subsequent mail orders. It's a Comfortable Feeling We possess now. We figure that all the remalndor of our stock Is "pure velvet." We really did not want to cat prices and demoralise the entire trade in the first place, but we were forced into It. No body would buy us out. "It's too big a stock," every one would say. The man agement of one big department store stated they would willingly pay our price If the stock was only half as large and would only take up half as much room. And so It Is this large extensive busi ness of ours which has taken more than 20 years to build up; all the country mall ordcTs which come pouring in to us every day, this very same business which has made for us a fortune, is being ig nored and cast aside, and Portland loses her leading music store becauso no one In the community will assume the responsi bility of taking it all for a very moder ate sum and continue on with the busi ness. But If we cannot close it out in one way we can in another, so here goes for a few more. Beginning Wednesday morning, Decem ber 35, we offer any piece of music, vocal or Instrumental, we have in our stock for 15c per copy. No reserves. All prints go. Some pub lications are listed as high as $2 50. Prices will be ignored. Tou can cull over our stock, make your own selection and take any music you find for 15c per copy, (15c per copy If sent by mall). But that Is not all. We have oceans of books. Sunday school books, singing school books, gospel hymns, piano and or gan instruction books, tutors for all kinds of musical Instruments, which we offer for almost nothing. Then we have great quantities of-all kinds of musical Instruments. Fiddles, guitars, banjos, double basses, 'cellos and band instruments, violin strings, hai monicas, etc., which country dealers ought to pick up spontaneously and without de lay. Any dealer can double, yes treble their profit on what they buy from us now. and then sell lower than they could if they bought la tho regular way. Have You Seen the Apollo? This Is the new device for playing any piano any composition of music. The regular price of the "Apollo" everywhere Is $250. Just see us and find out what you can get It for now, How About Pianos? Hundreds and hundreds of them must be sold by us before we remove to San Francisco and we only have a very short time left to dispose of them On our floors now you will see pianos of both high and low degree, good, bad and Indifferent You will see the great Knabe, Hardman, Steck, Fischer, Lud wlg, The Chlckerlng & Sons, of Boston, and the Chlckerlng Bros., of Chicago, (the latter Is the only piano made by a Chlckerlng), and the Kimball pianos as well as the Earhuff. Chicago Cottage, Estey and Mason & Hamlin Organs Pianos and Organs we sell on time same as heretofore. The Wiley B. Allen Co. will retain an office In Portland where payments can be made. The Gilbert & Jones Co. will become our successors In the piano business here. We must soon move to 'Frisco. Our headquarters will be there and we will have branch stores In Los Angeles and Honolulu. Port land's oldest and largest music house Is soon to become the latest and most modern music emporium in San Francisco. But before we qo we are going to have a lot of fun selling off our music our Instruments, pianos and or-" gans, at prices which will demoralize and paralyze the other dealers here for the next twenty years. Again we say some one ought to take our entire stock and shut us off. THE WILEY B. ALLEN CO., 209-21 1 FIRST ST., PORTLAND, OREGON ;
