conformity with concurrent resolution

the information of the board will say
that the fish laws are in such a horrible,
tangle, having been amended and re

Why not a genuine Pianola-Piano Why not one
today while the big display and sale is on.

Six solid carloads of Genuine Pianola Pianos, all of them the latest styles,
were shipped to Eilers Piano House through an awkward misunderstanding
on the part of our buyer and the manufacturers.
Rather than to return the bigger portion of these instruments to the fac
tories at additional cost for freight charges, insurance, etc., we have decided
to acept them. All of these instruments are being displayed at Eilers Piano
House this week.
Never heretofore, not even in New York, has it been possible to show
such a tremendous number of latest Pianola Pianos of each of the various
styles and in the various superb and costly woods and finishes used only by
the world-renowned makers of this magnificent art product.
The second floor of our building is devoted this week to the display and
sale of these truly wonderful instruments.
Never again will Portland witness a showing of so extensive and superb
a variety of styles and designs. ,
There's many a "silent" piano in many a home, where there ought to be
a Pianola Piano, a genuine Pianola Piano, an instrument that is not "mechan
ical," but, on the contrary, makes it possible for every member of the family
to produce the choicest of music with perfect individuality and expression.
We are now prepared to take such "silent pianos" in part payment for
one of these very latest Metrostyle and Themodist Pianola Pianos, and we
will make it an object for any owner of such old-style piano to do business with
us now.
Will arrange most unusual liberal terms of payment for any responsible
buyer not wishing on the spur of the moment to pay the difference in cash.
If you ever expect to own a Pianola Piano, now is the time to see about it
at Eilers Piano House, Efstail Department, "the always busy corner" at Park
(Eighth) and Washington streets.
