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.

THE COTE PIANO
ACTION
In producing a perfect action,
there is much to take into consid
eration. It must be so constructed
as to withstand the most powerful
stroke as well as to respond to the
most delicate touch. Upon this
most vital part, depends the suc
cess of the instrument to respond
to the feelings and moods of the
performer. It is with these re
quirements in view that the Cote
, lias striven to bring out an instru
ment that will not disappoint the
purchaser; and that they have
done so is very evident.
T3 action is of extra fine qual
ity, double repeating, made of the
finest materials, including ham
mers of the choicest imported felts;
insuring a full, round tone, found
only on pianos of the highest
grade; the action rails and brackets
are nickel plated; in short, this ac
tion is of strictly high grade, made
to endure incessant use for many years and withstand all climatic changes

ponent parts that go to make up this superb instrument, for it is the intent of the "Cote" Factory to turn
