The Really Good Piano
Cannot possibly be made to sell at prices
quoted by 'TricK" dealers. Poor materials and
cheap, unsKilled labor maKe it possible to assem
ble a piano which, when new, may deceive those
who do not looK deeply into construction and
worKmanship, who do not scrutinize finish and
case worK, and whose measure of quality is cre
ated b the enthusiasm of the salesman and the
assertion that a $300 piano is being offered for
5167.
d Such instruments are usually "Stencil"
pianos for which no one should pay more than
$125 or $150 at any time. All over that amount
is added to offset the expense of the "circus" ad
vertising which so-called "Special Sale" neces
sitates. Q Such pianos find no place in our House. In
the end they are most expensive, because they
lacK durability, tonal character and every qual
ity which goes to maKe dependable instruments.
g We maKe the claim, and it is proven daily by
those who investigate carefully before purchas
ing, that we sell better pianos at smaller prices
than any house in this city or on the Coast.
Q This weeK we are showing' an especially fine
line of pianos selling for less than $200 that can
not be equaled in the West They are depend
able and are made of honest materials by worK
men of experience and character. They are of
fine tone and action, in beautiful Mahogany and
OaK cases, full size. Every intending' buyer
should see them. Easy payments may be arranged.
