ZUer Flaao Bona find Great fcavlng of Money la Cooperative Clu Tar easing. ' lianV peorle wonder how Etler Pin Houw can afford I sell Its standard make ot pianos at price thai permit j of a saving ot from )lv0 to f.'OO each. The Question la a fair one and haa beea I asked aeveral Unee at feller atearooma since thla great sale was Inaugurated. fcllera i'Uno House contracts for its upply of pianos from the manufacturer at one time, for the aiuire r. ..As a consequence, thia koua la able to se cure the very lowest price for hun dred of carload at a time. Thee pla ne re hipped at stated Interval dur- ln tha vmm r. in aecniiince With the term of the contract. The enormity of I th quantity maka a tremendoue sav ing in freight rate a well. . ' Th . othor dealer, ' not having th enormous trade of a firm like Ellers 1-liino House, and not having the stor age capacity! buy In small quantities -not over two or three piano at any on time. ' He usually purchase of th jobber, not even getting the sdvantage of the manufacturer' price. Thla show the wide margin between tbe high prloe the small dealer has to pay and the low price -av large house like Kilera pay. ' Thla alao shows the reason for - the very remarkable fact that Kilers Piano iiuuse can aeu one pianu in rumauu one customer at a lower prlc than the average small dealer would have to pay for (he sam piano at the Jobbers. ln other words. It shows the great advan tage of the methods of buying that have been adopted at tilers Piano House. Having a surplus stock of 419 pianos on hand and needing tha room, Kllers Piano House conceived the idea of giv ing the benefit of wholesale prices to their customer. , They reasoned that if a dealer came to their store and showed a disposition to purchase 100 pianos or more they could afford to make him a very close price. Therefore, they fig ured, if 48( peopl came to their store, showed an Inclination to purcTias 41 pianos, made arrangements for that pur- i-haaa and alao for the payments, E Pisno House could well aflord to give thoae people th benefit ot an extremely low price a lower prloe. In fact, than they could glv to tb small dealer, un less that dealer also bought 48 planoa. This, thsn, wss the Inception of th Cooperative Club Idea of selling pianos in Portland. Bine th Sale was first announced hundred have Joined one or the other Of the cluDe; nunureos oi pia nos have been delivered to hundred of hnnui and hundred hav been made huppier- bv thia extremely modern Bieth ot of buying planoa Mor than this. thousands of dollars cave peen saveu by th puroliasera - . The club list ar filling rapidly and th chance ar that there will not be many vacancies left In a short tiro a. - A great many ar now sonaidertng thalr application for membership, f t la urged that they bad better mak tip their mind ia a day or eo today, U possi blefor th number ot memberships is limited, as well a the number of pia no Included in th sale. At any rate. It does not cost a cent to Investigate thl method of piano buying and a call at Ellers Piano House, Washington, corner of Park, will soon demonstrate to any person the feasibility of this plan. Tim will n me ume xor you 10 iaia It ovr: then you can mak up" your; mind which etyl of a piano you want in your borne; then you can determine lor youraeil now muon you are son id pay for a piano and how much per week you can anoru. inm srs iavrw uvuiib.
