16 THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAN, PORTLA2SD, APEIL 13, 1902. - DIDiYT THINK IT POSSIBLE But Saw How it Is Done and Secured Two. What a Well-Known Musician Found Who Called Yesterday at EHer's Piano House Nine More Were Taken Yesterday More About the $300 Pianos Now Being Sold at $173. "It doesn't seem possible that Btich beautiful pianos can be sold at retail for jsucn littie money," said a well-known Portland mufalclau at Eilers Piano House yesterday, after he had made arrange ments to buy two of the advertised regu lar $300 uprights for $1SG. We admitted that we do not expect to make much money on this occasion, but we realize that it is a splendid advertise ment for Eilers Piano House, in that it demonstrates our ability to undersell any existing retail or wholesale piano selling iirm In this country, and will make for ui an army of new friends who will in turn help us sell more of our fine pianos to others, thus making an endless chain that gains force and prestige each day. Many of these pianos now offered at these exceptionally low prices were se emed by our Mr. Eilers from manufac turers who found themselves right after Inventory with great quantities of cer tain styles on hand, and from manufac turers who were anxious to dispose of styles they are going to discontinue, deeminc it advisable to take a loss on all such Instruments In order to close them out In one lot to us. On such occasions, "money talks." Then there are also numerous pianos taken from our wholesale stock, which we have aifao marked down far below regular values. There Is not a house In San Francisco much less here (since the majority of stores here are merely sub-agents of San Francisco stores), that can afford to sell instruments like these for less than $300. But we are now selling them for 5186, and the plainer styles for $173, and as a further Inducement for you to act quick ly, we will sell one of them on payment of $10 down and $6 a month. Think of It littie more than 15 cents a day secures a brand new piano, fully warranted, at Eilers Piano House now. Lct us repeat the prices once more $173 and $185, to all alike: 3 per cent off for all cash, or $10 down and $6 a month. You can't afford to keep house without having a piano now. Rest assured that these instruments are in every way as good, and as durable, as the instruments for which small dealers or agents are compelled to ask $300. This Is not an over-statement, but fact, that you can verify If you will but investi gate It. We have repeatedh' told you how. In conducting four leading stores, in four leading Western cities headquarters at Portland, the others at Sin Francisco. Spokane and Sacramento under one man agement we save monev in buving large quantities of pianos: how we savp money In shinninar them in larere Quantities un der our new method without boxes: how. our siore rents are less than any other wholesale or retail deilers: how in fact we save money by having our own deliv ery service: how in fact, everv item of .selling expense Is less by many, manv dol lars per piano here than other dealers, no matter where. That is how and why this tremendous business of ours came to be built uo that Is why so many dealer nnd sub-averts who could not adapt themselves to the new order of things have been comnelled to retire or seek nastures new, nnd that is how and why we can carry out everv promise and statement made In our ad vertisement to the letter. We are standing back of everv repre sentation made bv our regular salesmen. Monev hack if not as represented" ap plies to the cheapest and least nretentious Instruments old bv us -is well as to the choicest and most "octlv of Am"-!ran VaVi.
