There are many different makes of pianos, and there are many sealers. Sherfha CHANCE 1'O.EARN FINE NEW PIANOS BY A LITTLE CAREFUL EFFORT Eilers Piano House Planning a Most Extraordinary Campaign of Advertising and "Elucidation." NUMEROUS POINTS STILL MISUNDERSTOOD BY MANY AS REGARDS PIANO VALUES AND PIANO-BUY-ING WILL BE PRESENTED IN A STRIKING AND NOVEL MANNER ANY HOME NOW WITHOUT PIANO OR ORGAN OR PIANOLA PIANO WILL BE INTENSELY INTERESTED AND SHOULD ORDER AN EXTRA COPY OF . NEXT TUESDAY AFTERNOON'S JOURNAL. Very few men and women buy more than one piano or other musical instrument in a lifetime. This is the reason why there are not many who, axe posted upon piano values and piano-selling conditions. This is the reason, also, we may add, why so much misinformation in regard to this business is permitted to be circulated.' With the aid of manufacturers represented by Eilers Piano House, a most far-reaching campaign of piano advertis ing and piano-selling will be inaugurated next Tuesday afternoon. It will pay to secure an extra copy of The Journal on that day. Many will be given opportunity to secure a piano or other musical instrument free. Numerous points not now thoroughly understood by the public will be carefully explained. It will be a looking be hind the scenes," as it were. . , t i Competition in the piano trade is severe. The more or less plausible arguments for the purpose of effecting sales will be presented and analyzed. i The situation pertaining to branch houses and consignment agencies, and their inability to compete openly with a con cern such as Eilers Piano House, will be impartially explained, j, The system of selling through commission agents, and parties who pose as experts, and its cost to the buyer, will be exposed. MUch light will be thrown upon the "wholesaling" of pianos to retail buyers. .Sofne astonishing exposures of "confidential" (!) discounts of "holier-than-thou" houses, claiming for themselves much virtue s a "one-price" house (meaning in reality almost a double price) will be jnade. The many mysterious and really flimsy claims for superiority of this or that make will be dissected, v In short, a careful and unbiased analysis will be made in this article and subsequent ones, which We believe will dem onstrate to any thinking man and woman in the west that if all dealers were honest in their representations and admis sions there would be but one place in Oregon supplying the musical wants of the west which concern, needless to say, would be Eilers Piano House. ' We realize fully that the northwest is developing rapidly. Thousands of homes are being established each month which should be posted upon the question of piano and musical instrument buying. We are not blind to the fact that the piano trade cannot possibly be centered altogether in one house. Nor do wo wish to have it appear that we deny any honest concern the right to pursue a straightforward musical instrument business. But the buyer has a right to know as to where he or she is able to do the best for him or herself Frdm its inception it has been the object of Eilers Piano House to furnish the very best of everything In the musical instrument line at the lowest possible cost. Eilers Piano House has the facilities in every way to do this. Eilers, Piano House possesses advantages which no other organization enjoys. ' The record shows that out of 10,000 instruments sold, 7,749 were supplied by Eilers Piano House; 2,251 came from all other houses combined. . , In the forthcoming campaign it will be our aim to give the widest possible publicity to the situation as we see ft, with a view also to still further increasing the percentage of total sales in our favor. It will be an interesting campaign, and we repeat it will pay to read carefully next Tuesday afternoons Journal, and to order an extra copy.
