(SHE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 15, 1903. sr 1.1 ADY! L-L- A quarter block of Fine Pianos iv kmmm i When in June, 1900, our new building was completed and ready for occu- pancy, we stated in the columns of this paper: i "Onr new store is ready for business, and we herewith extend to our many friends and the v .public generally a cordial invitation to visit the most attractive and best appointed store devoted to the sale of pianos and organs in the entire "West. We propose to make this store the-recognized head quarters of Portland's musical interests. 'PERFECT SATISFACTION" IN" EVERY INSTANCE' has jt been the watchword that has built up the phenomenal trade enjoyed by Eilcrs Piano House in the past, I and this principle will be rigidly adhered to in every transaction, great or small, by Eilers Piano House, , '. v - in the new store." ... t .- Every promise that was made has been conscientiously carried out. Steadily Eilers Piano House has forged ahead. Shortly after the big store at 351-353 Washington street had been opened it became necessary to add the-immense warehouse, corner of Thirteenth and Marshall streets, located right on our own railroad switch, and equipped with every modern appliance for the speedy and eco nomical dispatch of an ever increasing wholesale and retail business. And still more room was needed. Salesrooms in the base ment were installed. Large and larger galleries were built into the main salesroom and over the delivery room on Park street. And then a year ago the entire Park-street corner was taken over from the Aeolian Company, and with it came the agency for the Pianola and the wonderful Orchestrelle. With the alterations now completed, our retail salesrooms cover practically an entire quarter block, and with our downstairs sales rooms and galleries we devote today an area of 21,000 square feet to the retail department, besides the large three-story and basement warehouse, making Eilers Piano House at once the most progressive and up-to-date as well as the largest piano and organ emporium in the entire West. . Thus the big store of 1900 has developed into a three-times bigger one today, with branch establishments in Spokane, Seattle, Sacra mento and San Prancisco. In again extending to our patrons, our friends and the general public a cordial invitation to visit this establishment, we renew every assurance previously made by ns. As heretofore, the finest assort ment of the country's finest pianos will be found on exhibition here, at prices everlastingly the lowest now as heretofore. - We have New York's greatest piano, famous among the musical artists of the whole world, the faultless Weber, full in, volume, of sWeet and sympathetic tone, beautiful in proportion and design. Then Boston's illustrious- piano, the gloribus and stanch old Chicker ing, is here. Por over 80 years this piano has maintained the highest standard of excellence, and established ideals in piano construction and tone production that defy imitation. Also that great piano of modern times, the Kimball of Chicago, deserving of every praise and indorsement bestowed upon it so lavishly at every hand. The Kimball piano, having the advantage of every resource of art, of science, of capital and skill, has won glorious triumphs where other, older makes have failed. In addition to these, our three great leaders, we have 23 other makes of most excellent pianos, so that every phase of tone quality, as well as every price demand, is to be met upon our roomy floors. There is the widely known Vose of Boston, the now-popular Hobart M. Cable, the Haddorff, Schumann, Victor, Milton, Hinze, Draper, Marshall, Stuyvesant, Bailey, etc., etc. Most beautiful and handsome organs also, including the Kimball, the Pacific Queen, Needham, Burdette and Crown.. Organs for schools, churches, and for parlor use, including pipe organs" of widest range. 22 PIANOLA ttft , IT jsfil WJ v' A Pianola brings into the home refinement, culture, diversion, education, pleasure. It com pletes the piano. It operates the keys like human lingers. The operator controls the expression and imparts to the composition the artistic finish, the expression, which is the soul of music. It can be operated by any one. Price $250. Purchase by installments may be arranged for if desired. Sold only by Eilers Piano House. Just to Make This Opening Week a Memorable One ' j, X J 2j IV k3 L A J 1 1 V - Jt A KS VJ C3 JC' Saturday we received three carloads of verv n.limr. ninnn?. vliiMi -nm o tminir to place on special sale for this opening w eek onl They are the newest products of three different factories in the 'country.

The meeting was called to-order by Mrs. Hill, who briefly explained that the object of the league In America is to organize for active work along social, civil and secular lines for the abolition of child marriage In India.

It is the business of the league to circulate literature, giving information of the conditions of childhood and "wo manhood In India, to cultivate a friendly co-operatlon with the British government looking to the abolition of child marriage and to circulate petitions In advocacy of this aim.
