SO SAYS ONE OF PORTLAND'S BIG MERCHANTS, WHO CAME TO THIS
SALE TO BUY A USED UPRIGHT FOR HIS RANCH. INSTEAD HE SE
LECTED A BEAUTIFUL BABY GRAND FOR HIS PORTLAND HOME. WE
REPRODUCE HIS LETTER HEREWITH.
Scores of People Are Daily Finding the
Same Conditions at the Great Closing
Out Sale of Reed-French Piano Co.
This U the one bin: money-saving opportunity on best makes of pianos., "We have gone through
the stock and slashed prices right and left. Absolutely the biggest cut in prices that was ever
- known on pianos of a superior quality. Buyers can shop the town over, attend every kind of piano
inducement ever offered or dreamed of. and thoir footsteps will turn back to the reliable house
of Reed-French Piano Co., the house that has not been in the habit of conducting sales, the house
that has always been known for the high quality of the instruments handled and square dealing.
It's Time to Know the Facts
Just a little reasoning power reveals the opportunities here presented to piano buyers of Port
land and vicinity, seldom if ever before offered, for be it known that the Reed-French Piano Mfg.
Co are retirin" from business in Portland. Every instrument, no matter what, must be and will be
closed out. It"is to be no half-hearted effort, nor an excuse to sell pianos, but a genuine closin?
out and closing up. of the Reed-French Piano Co. 's business.
In order to accomplish this great undertaking quickly and close out this huge stock in quick
order it was realized that these magnificent pianos would have to be priced without profits, which
has made spontaneous selling and their immediate disposal a positive certainty. Just stop and
consider what it means to be able to select your piano from a great variety of the best makes,
itvles and finishes at about half the figure of retail price. These conditions you will find at this
closing out sale.'as scores of others are finding out daily, for the remarkable success of the sale to
date, the large number of instruments selected daily by the most critical buyers is the best proof
we can offer you of the genuineness of this money-saving offer.

THE REMARKABLE SIDE TO THIS GREAT
QUIT BUSINESS SALE
It is not only the small amount you pay out, but what you
get for your investment that makes this sale remarkable. For
instance there is nothing remarkable in getting a piano for
$85. $97, $127, $136. etc., but it is the pianos we are selling at
such prices that is remarkable ; not unknown, unnamed pianos,
but standard grade, highest class makes of instruments, the
kind you have known for years pianos of known reputation
and value, whose very mimes are a guarantee of their high
character and worth. Road the list of these makes belbw.
Surely you will agree with us there are no better and few ns
good. "Many of these pianos are being taken daily at about
half the regular retail price, and on terms to fit the pocketbook
of every purchaser.

who are being cared for by generous
persons who contribute toward their
maintenance at the Oien-Air Sani
tarium, are falling off perhaps on ac
count of the public not realizing the
existing conditions.
A daily call for aid lias been kept
up by The Oregoniaii tolcly in the In
terest of the 4-year-old boy twins.
Their mother died several months ago
leaving them not only destitute but
suffering with tuberculosis, the disease
which resulted in her death.
One of the children has a bad
ankle, causing him to use crutches.
This ankle can be cured if attended to
regularly at once, otherwise it even
tually will cause the disablement and
4eath of the child.
Any Investigations are invited in the
hope that somebody will care for the
children as the city has maae no pro
vision so far.
Public Library Notes.
If there are anv business houses that
are discarding their city directories for
1911. now that the 1912 edition Is be
ing distributed, the public library would
be glad to receive the 911 copies for
their exchange collection. Every di
rectory received by the library can be
exchanged for a 1911 directory of some
important city In the United States,
thereby making the library's collection
of directories much larger than would
otherwise be possible. These directo
ries may be left at the librarian's of
fice, or, if notified, the library will
be glad to send for them.
The reference and periodical rooms
of the central library, Seventh and
