Sunset Theater Washington at Broadway LOCAL HOUSE FACES A CRISIS Portland's Player Piano House Compelled to Make i Great Sacrifice. It seems a shame to cut down a business at this time to the extent that is necessary, but I have left nothing undone and cannot help my self. The owners of $40,000 of the pre ferred stock of my company want their money. I have been trying to place it elsewhere, but no one seems willing to invest in a prosperous, though not the very largest whole sale and retail piano business. I have always been on a strictly cash basis. I cannot borrow the money now to pay off this $40,000, so I must take the money out of my business. By selling out a large portion of stock on hand and doing it quickly, I know I can win out. I know that a big sacrifice is necessary to induce piano buying now, but I am willing to make the sacrifice. I'll make ex traordinary concessions for cash- less than cost and for anyone buy ing on time will charge only a very little extra. I have better pianos, grade for grade, than any other piano house in the city, because I personally select my stock. Let no one say that such and such an instrument is better, or more valuable than anything in my house. It is not true. I have Sohmers and Behning grands and . uprights and player pianos. No concern in America makes anything finer. . I. will take $143 for some of my brand new pianos. For $155 I will sell them on time, say $15 down-and $7 a month. I will sell very fine brand new player pianos for $230, and for $255 I will sell on jpayments of $35 down and $11 a month, twenty months, nearly two years, to finish paying for a piano or a player piano. This is a bona fide help-me-quick offer. I have some used pianos, too, and good ones. Will take $65 for a Stein way piano, $55 for a Fischer, $80 for a good reliable W. W. Kimball. Everything else, including baby grands, at same rate of reduction. My offer is genuine; no one can say these figures are high. There are plenty of families who need pianos; there are plenty of people with money who can pay me the cash; but all can buy now because I'll sell on easiest payments. If I don't act quickly I jeopardize my business. Come at once, or tele phone or let me send you catalogues. I haven't any agents or traveling men. You are dealing with the head of the house, the man who has built this business up to its present suc cess and wants to remain identified with Portland and Oregon and the music trade for all time to come. My guarantee is as good as anybody's. It is issued by the factories and countersigned by me. We have hun dreds upon hundreds of satisfied cus tomers and, even though we don't make a dollar of profit in this emer gency, we are going to take just as good care of the interests of buyers now as we have in the past.
