A quarter block
of Fine Pianos

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.

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.

The "Indo-American Women's League"

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. The efforts of the league are
stimulated by the recent edict of the Czar
of Russia abolishing child marriage in
Turkestan. Mrs. M. A. E. Stone gave
an interesting account of the work
of the league In Los Angeles,
Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and
in some of the cities of Europe.
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. As the suttee was abolished
by Great Britain, the league believes that
the time.ls near at hand when child mar
riage will be made obsolete.
