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. ' , , -

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.' For further particulars
