First We have the best pianos.
Second We sell them cheaper than our competitors.
Why? Because we buy them cheaper than our competitors, having the backing of the Eiler Piano House, one of
the largest concerns doing business on the Pacific Coast. We profit by their ability to buy in large quantities, which enables
us to get such low freight rates. This places us in a position to sell to the consumer as cheaply as the small dealer can buy
from the factory.
We handle over twenty different makes of the best pianos on the market. Out of every hundred cars of pianos
shipped to the Pacific Coast in the year ending February 1, 1907, seventy-two and one eighth per cent was shipped to the
Eiler Piano House, leaving twenty-seven and five-eights per cent for all the other dealers on the Pacific Coast. In other
words, Eilers sold three-quarters of all the pianos that were sold on the Pacific Coast in that time. This is due entirely to the
methods we adopted in handling our business when this firm was established.
We carry on our piano business the same as every successful merchant, strictly on commercial basis. We buy
close, sell close, handle nothing but the best aid sell on the easiest possible terms. Our aim is to satifsy our customers. We
tend strictly to our own business. We never slander our competitor, nor use any mean methods in getting our business.
Every piano that goes out of our store is strictly guaranteed as we represent it or money refunded. We are here to give you
value for your money and will be glad to assist you in every way possible in the selection of an instrument.

Attorney Cobb, Francis J. Honey
his nssoclato, telephoned to Richards

AN ADMIRABLE PIECE

V. W. Bouton, a local wood carv
ing artist) has on exhibition at Clay
Moore's saloon, an American eaglo
worked out from a fine cedar berl.
Tho work is superb and shows an I:i
sight into this work that is quite
admirable. The piece of carving
was exhibited at tho Omaha exhibi
tion by A. J. Johnson, who .was then
state forester for Oregon, and a
member of tho Smithsonian Institute.
It was exhibited on behalf of Mr.
Bouton, and was awarded a bronze
medal and a diploma. Mr. Bouton

every obstacle and In about three
weeks will commenco commercial
transatlantic service."
Ho stated that bad weather would
not affect the service, provided the
masts.and poles used in the wire
less system remained undamaged;
that tho average speed In sanding
messages would bo twenty woids a

10 cents a word for ordinary com

said, would be cut in two later.
New York, Sept. 2S. J. Bottomay
said tonight that Marconi's state
ment that transatlantic wireless
communication would reach a com
