The Cote Plan Mama! of Fall River, Mass. have got to sacrifice aboot 90 very ffie new op right pi a o os here Monday and Tuesday Through an error in billing, we shipped five carloads of pianos to a large firm in Port land, which were intended for New York and Boston houses, and while they are different brands from those ordered by the Portland house, they are finer and more expensive styles. Apparently taking advantage of our predicament, the Portland concern declines to take the pianos, except at a discount so far below"the wholesale billing price that it would be laughable were it not so ridiculous. We acknowledge the error, are willing to concede a lot, but we decline to be squeezed. Therefore, we have rented for a few days the large double store on the northwest corner of Park and Morrison streets, and have placed this entire shipment in there, ready for sale Monday morning at 8 o'clock, and we are simply going to paralyze retail prices in this city for the next two days, and I wouldn't be surprised if we sold the entire shipment before 12 o'clock Monday night. We are going to offer these pianos at retail on terms of $25 down, and $10 a month, and for less money than we billed them wholesale to this Portland concern at our factory at Fall River, Mass., and will even discount THAT 5 per cent for spot cash. We mean busi ness, and intend to give them a little competition they haven't been looking for. t We intend to offer our finest piano a piano that retails East at $550 for $285, on terms of $25 down and $10 a month, or 5 per cent less ($270.75) spot cash. 1 And our $525 style for $265 time, or $251.75 cash. Our $450 style for $215 on time, or 5 per cent less ($204.25) all cash. - And we'll offer the finest $400 piano turned out by any factory, for $195 on terms of $25 and $10, or $185.25 spot cash; and so on down to our $300 piano for $160 on time, or $152 cash. . We mean strictly business, and have no time or inclination to mince matters.' Come up against a "square deal" once.
