SIX BABIES SOLD
YESTERDAY
Stir Created in Musical Circles by
Extraordinary Sale.
ONE GOES FOR $325.00
Nearly Forty Beautiful Baby Grands
and Concert Grands Offered for
Prices of Uprights Old Pianos
Will Be Taken in Part Payment
Thirty-Three Months Given in
Which to Pay.
Musical circles have been unusually
quiet around Portland for the last two
weeks, possibly on account of many
music-lovers sojourning at various
Summer resorts. But the placing of
nearlv 40 allghtlv used Baby Grand and
Concert Grand Pianos on sale at prices
ordinarily paid for Upright pianos, was
an event of too much importance to be
overlooked.
As a result, yesterday six Baby
Grands found new homes, and several
times that many prospective purchas
ers came to Inspect the exhibit.
Two out of the six proud owners
frankly confessed that they had dream
ed of some dav buvtnr a real Grand
I piano, but never thought It possible to
pur.-nase one tor tne same price an
Upright would cost. Another lady said
she had been treasuring her old aquare
piano for five years hoping that just
such a chance aa this would come, but
had almost got tired of waiting, and It
seemed too good to be true. She se
cured a splendid Sohmer Grand Piano
and was silowed $S0 for her used piano
toward payment of the Grand. One of
the city's prominent music-teachers
could not decide whlcb deserved the
most appreciation, the unusual value
or the beautiful tone and action of
these Instruments, saying he really pre
ferred a sllghtiy-used Instrument to a
brand new one and that Instruments
selected for concerts were Invariably
the best.
As Ellers Music House desired to
start the coming musical season with
a complete equipment of new Instru
ments, all those used in last season's
concerts snd recitals, as well as some
taken In exchange recently for larger
Grands and Welte Mignons from pri
vate homes, have now been placed on
sale at really ridiculously low prices.
Even as little as $325 will buy a
Baby Grand In this sale. Nearly every
celebrated make Is represented. In
cluding two Weher Baby Grands, regu
larly sold at 1750 and IS50. now for
J300 less; an elegant $825 Decker Baby
Grand for $S2.i, a superb Steck Quarter
Grand for $535. a Pease Quarter
Grand for one-th'rd discount, an $800
magnificent- Hallet Davis. Empress
design, for J5B; three Chlckerlng Par
lor Grands and two Chlckerlng Quar
ter Grands at a discount of 33 1-3 per
cent; one elegant rosewood $1000 Kim
hall Grand for 5S0. a 1150Lester
Grand for $690. three Knabes, one
Stelnway and one Kfanlch & Bach
Grand at exactly one-half their reg
ular retail value, making sale prices
$425. $475. $535 and $567.60. Several
large Concerts and Parlor Grands of
the above makea at equal reductions In
price.
To own one of these Grand Pianos is
to possess the cllmnx of attainment in
piano-making. In none but the Grand
Piano is It possible to produce the vol
ume of tone, the deep sustaining bass
and the liquid yet brilliant treble ef
fects, nor the pedal and touch ad
vantages. No school, no tescher or student of
music, who seeks the highest attain
ment In music, should be without a
Grand Piano, and there Is no neces
sity of doing so longer, when It is pos
sible to purchase a Grand Piano for
the price of an Upright.
A very few days more ought to see
the limited number of these Grands ex
hausted. No more need be said to those
even ever so little interested. These
Instruments are now displayed at our
retail store at 351-353-355 Washington
street, Ellers Music House. Oregon's
Home Concern. The oldest, largest and
most responsible piano dealers In
Western Amerlcs.
The other candidates for the Repub
lican nomination are George L. Story,
a local attorney, and John Lewellen,
present county commissioner.

Smooth, healthy skins are a rarity in Summer. Most persons are an
noyed with pimples, boils, rashes or eruptions, while others suffer more
severely with Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Salt Rheum, or some kindred skin
disease. All skin affections come from humors and acids in the circulation.
The blood, as it circulates through the system, deposits these acids and
humors in the sensitive membranous flesh which lies just beneath the
outer sirrn or tissue covering the body. This acrid matter causes
inflammation and a discharge which breaks through the delicate cuticle,
and skin diseases are the result. To cure any skin trouble the blood must
be freed from all acids and humors, and for this purpose nothing equals

completely removes every particle of impurity, enriches the blood and in
this way permanently cures skin diseases. S. S. S. cures, because it purifies
the blood and allows it to nourish, soothe, and soften the skin instead of
irritating it with fiery acids and humors. Book on Skin Diseases and any
