Ado Jtuef Zs Muxxled,
una of the amusing things of the
graft prosecution is the mustllng of
Abe Ruef. Schmlts can sit In his cell in
the county jail and talk what he pleases,
but Ruef, whose place of confine
ment is the house which was the
Bchmlts home until graft furnished the
money for a mansion, is forbidden to
say anything about politics. Elisor
Biggy warns visitors, "Politics cannot
be discussed In this house," and fol
lows the 'caller upstairs to the prison
room, to make sure that the ukase Is
not disobeyed, His precautions are all

for taking the Independent league nom

It's best because it's fairest Because it gives you
highest quality at least cost. The Eilers methods . are
based upon principles that are proven., most successful.
These methods have built for the House of Eilers the
greatest piano business in "Am erica. And now, to demon
strate to you, let us illustrate a fact Or two.
Out of every 100 pianos sold in this territory' railway
statistics show that the Eilers Houses sell 72j per cent
All other firms combined sell the remaining 21 fi per cent
For simple comparative "purposes let us suppose the
other dealers make a profit of $1 on every piano they sell.
Out of every 100 pianos sold, then, these' other dealers
would make a total profit of $28. x .
v" Cutting the. other dealers profit square in half, the
Eilers Houses, selling at a profit of only 50 cents a piano,
would sHow a total for the 72 pianos sold by the Houses
of Eilers of $36. , t
It is thus plain tkat while we would sell at one half
the profit of the other dealers we would still show a de
cisively larger profit for the total business handled. Small
profits, large sales and business supremacy I
Not only this, butswe save materially on every piano
we buy, on account of the very fact .that we can handle and -sell
,three times as many as all the other dealers combined.
We save in wholesale -cost as much as the profit of the
smaller dealers.
ii is rcauiiy apparent uicu tu any one inai our ciaim xo
save every piano buyer from $50 to $150 is based on abso
lute tact . ..j

The cost of handling this greater business is but little
more than required to handle a smaller amount JModern
facilities, a perfect shipping and distributing system all
combine to decrease the marketing expense below that nec
essary for, the smaller dealer. , ' i ,
Sharp tactics are unknown in Eilers Houses they're
not allowed. Strictly -one price, plain statements as to the
jnerits of each individual make, a definite' guaranteeall
