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.
