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. Ill 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 i3 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 dor $230, and for $255 I will sell on payments 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 111 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. Store open nights, till sale closes. E. H. HOLT, Pres. E. H. Holt Piano Company, North western National Bank bldg., just below' Broadway, at 333 Morrison street. Heilig-, ranks with tho best advance sales of the season. The new prices, according to Mr. Pangle. will prove a success in this play at least. Of the Interest shown to date he says: "We have had a. remarkab'y gratify ing response to the venture in holding the scats down to $1. We have had to do a little explaining that this was not a moving picture, but a regular production. The people are as a re sult taking unusual interest in the play. The night prices range bom 23 cents in the gallery to $1 downstairs and the matinee prices Irom 23 to 75 cents." JURORS RESENT CHARGE TWO ASK TO BE EXCISED BE. CAVSE OF JUDGE M'GIXN. Members of Jury, Censured for Small Damage Verdict, Say Court's Words Insulting. "I feel that I have been insulted by Judge McGinn, "and I want to be ex cused from further jury duty," de clared Hugh M. Glen In Circuit, Judge Davis' court yesterday. "We did as our consciences dictated in the case in Judge McGinn's court yesterday. I have lived in Portland 30 years and my Integrity never has been ques tioned. This Is the first time I ever was called to serve on a Jury during all this time. I came here against my will and served the county as best I could, and only to be insulted. Mr. Glen was a member of the Jury that Judge McGinn severely censured Monday morning for bringing in a ver diet for $685 for Jennings, who had sued the Multnomah Hotel Company for $8000 because he had fallen on the broken sidewalk and Injured his leg. Judge McGinn did not think $685 was enough damages. Juror Glen's remarks were seconded by H. R. Beckwlth. another juror, who aiso took exception to Judge McGinn's arraignment of the Jury and asked to be excused. Judge IJavis, in whose court the two Jurors were called yesterday morning, said ho would excuse them If they de sired after they had completed the case on which they were called jester day.
