THE OkEGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY .MORNING, JUNE 7, 1905. 1 1 '4 0 FINE,, PEAK J Would you consider a proposition that would give you immediate possession of a fine, rich-toned instrument of standard make at absolute rock-bottom wholesale cost-and insure you, an early . ownership through the expenditure of a few cents each day? ' ,,;," , , i i We have come back to our ctd home once, more to rerlew our acquaintance with you and make Portland our headquarters for Oregon and Washington, where we will do a large whole sale business from now on. To celebrate the occasion of our return, and, for old time's sake, we have formulated a cooperative plan and have set aside 100 new,' latest style," sample instruments to be assigned to'100 pianoless homes,' in one big deal, the same as when we sell 100 pianos to a large dealer, who we supply regularly. : As soon as we 'receive the full list of the 100 prospective purchasers, who wish to take part in this exceptional offer, we will make it a wholesale instead of a -retail transaction, saving each individual buyer the entire retail profit, which is anywhere from . $100 to $175, with two and pne-half years in which to complete payment on the piano selected, either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or yearly installments. - The' cuts below are facsimiles of some of the world's greatest pianos that are" included in this lot. Now on exhibition at showroom, corner of Sixth and Oak streets, Y.. W. C. A. building. ' , , - 01 A o R A MO V x '. . . i : 5-r- -r . ' 1 , : """" ' ,: ! One Hundred New Upright Pianos to, Be Placedan j)ne Hundred Oregon ; Homes in' Ten , Days' " Time By the, Wiley B. Allen Company ". r The biggest undertaking eve' at tempted by- one concern, in the his tory of Oregon, is announced in this morning's daily papers when the "Wiley B. Allen Co., after seven long years' absence,, have come back to their old home, in this city and will start the ball rolling by placing 100 beautiful, new, standard upright pia nos in 100 homes during the next 10 days. Many would think, at the first gVince., that this would be an impossi hilStv. hut when they stoo to consider that the entire lot will be sold at ab solute wholesale cost, saving each in dividual buyer the entire retail profit, with two" and a half years' time to complete payment, it is not to be wondered at that people will flock in from all parts of the country to take advantage of this unprecedented offer. Whys, and Wherefores. -- Jt is tfte intention of the Wiley B. Allen Co.to make Portland their headquarters for the northwest, here they expect to do a large wholesale business from, now ,on. Tar, celebrate the occasion of their feturn and to re new their old acquaintance, among the many friends they made in days gone by, .. they , , have , inaugurated a co operative campaign designed to-place them closely m touch with the piano buyers of the state of Oregon. In furtherance of same and to make it interesting they , have set aside .100 new, latest style, sample pianos to be ' assigned to 100 worthy pianoless homes, in one big deal, making it a 'wholesale -instead of retail trans action,, just the same as when they sell 100 pianos to a large dealer whom they supply regularly. 4 , V ' : Guarantee of Exchange. , JEach of the 100 purchasers will be supplied with an exchange agreement entitling them to the privilege of ex changing the piano' selected within one year from date of purchase, for any other of the "various makes, allow ing 'the full purchase price -or all money paid oh the first piano selected to apply on the purchase price of their second choice. This is practically placing a piano in your home for one year on approval. If, after exhaust ing the exchange privileges," there should still be a dissatisfied customer, then comes their safeguard, iron-clad guarantee of satisfaction or money back. In this case the purchaser takes no chances whatever, the whole re sponsibility resting on the Wiley B. - Allen Co. : Old Pianos Taken in Trade. , . . . , . v During this campaign, - where" they are placing 100 pianos in" 100 homes', ", in 10 days' time, at wholesale instead of retail prices, the profit being but a few dollars on each instrument, they will be compelled to get the old in struments at their actual cash values instead ofj fictitious prices sometimes offered by' vnscruplous , agents who travel through the country asking $200. more for their piano than it is worth. Suchmethods have been the means of discouraging many intending pur chasers. Confidence is the foundation of business building and it is this con fidence that people have placed in the great Wiley B. Allen Co., in former years, that has made them the leading piano dealers of the Pacific coast. Largest Exclusive Piano Dealers' The Wiley B. Allen Co. started in business some years ago in a small two-story building with a , dozen pianos and four or five organs, and it was there that the founder, the late Wiley B. Allen, laid down the prin ciples ofsquare dealing that has been the" means of gradually increasing their business, and with the able man agement" of Mr, Frank Anrys and 'othc.r members of the company, they are today, without a Question, the largest exclusive piano dealers in the west Their vast chain of stores now i reaches from Dallas, Texas, to Brit ish Columbia.'
