But never heretofore has there been such a combination of circumstances that has made possible, or, let me say, compelled, such low prices as have now been arranged for retail buyers in Portland by the fac tory representatives as stated in this announcement. Eilers Music House has been established and has grown great because it solemnly assured positive satisfaction to everj purchaser, or money back. Tho instruments in this sale arc our regular stock, noth ing reserved, and are offered upon this same def inite and binding agreement on our part. No trans action will be considered as complete unless the pur chaser is positively satisfied. I do not know how to say this more emphatically. Every instrument sold in this sale must prove satis factory to the buyer in every way both as to qual ity and as to price or no sale. Our unconditional service guarantee accompanies every instrument sold, no matter whether it is our costliest piano or player piano or our least expensive piano, and this guar antee will positively protect each and every pur chaser against dissatisfaction. For nearly twenty years we have carried out every obligation and every agreement to the letter. We do not propose to deviate from this proud rec ord at this time, nor at any other time. The sale prices will be plainly marked, the prices will be one and the same to each and all alike. A child may purchase as safely and as satisfactorily as can the shrewdest shopper." Most respectfully, Representatives of Eastern factories take charge of big piano house; im mense stock to be sold under special agreement. A house full of brand new instru ments nothing shop worn nothing second-hand all regular high-quality stock. Nearly all to be sold at manufac turers' cost some for even less. Excellent new warranted pianos, only $118; many for $98. Finest $550 and $600 pianos $333 and $315. Payments arranged to suit any cus tomer's convenience; some for only $1 a week, others $5 a month, $6 a month or $8 a month; latest and best metal tube player pianos, with free music rolls service included, at corresponding re ductions; payments $10 a month; some for $2 a week. Music makes home what it should be. There is no home in Portland now that cannot have a choice piano. Necessity Knows No Law While business conditions every where are speedily resuming normal, it is well known that finished pianos in large quantities have accumulated in all of the Nation's piano factories. With a well-founded faith that the near fu ture will verify, Eilers Music House has agreed to take the surplus of seven leading piano manufacturers, under a special agreement that these manufacturers assume all expense of disposing of every instrument in the establishment now. We buy three new pianos for each two sold now. The factory's representatives, now here, do not care for profit. Their purpose is to have these pianos immediately out of the way, and commence shipping the surplus. Hence this opportunity, this most unusual price offering, which will never come again because conditions which have combined to make this undertaking necessary can never again arise. This sale as above commences Monday (store open till 2 P. M.) at Eilers Music House, Eilers Bldg., Alder St. at Broadway If everyone in this city could but realize what a money-saving opportunity this really is all would be sold out in less than a week 's time. No pianos will be sold to dealers except in the morning from 8 to 9 o'clock and no pianos will be sold if intended for shipment by dealers into other territory where these instruments are sold by merchants at the regular retail prices. Special: The low sale prices of every instrument are subject to a further Jiberal and unusual discount to cash buyers. Special: All player pianos are included in this sacrifice at corresponding reductions, irrespective of attempted price control by the manufacturer.
