We believe that the most ef
fective method of advertising Is
to Impress thoroughly upon every
man. woman and child. Xtrst, the
importance of having muslct in
the home; second, . the Eilers
methods of . musical ' Instrument
selling, which has made It possi
ble for every home to be provided
with a piano or organ, no matter
how limited its, means. r -
We want to Impress . upon
everyone what Eilers -Plano
House is accomplishing, and
what the Eilers name In .the
music trade stands for Fairs;
dealing, absolute reliability. hirh
quality and 'reasonable prices.
We want , everyone - who ought
to buy a piano or a pianola piano
or a talking machine . or an or
gan, to know of Eilers - Piano
House, Its . magnificent line, of
Instruments, and its - money-saving
methods. . , i-.
Through 1 the - co-operation ! of
soma of the leading eastern
piano and organ makers, which
we represent exclusively In the
coast states, we are able to make
a large (appropriation to' moat
thoroughly advecUo&jthla Institu
tion. ' . f ;:.
A fraction less than 1 per jcent
of our total sales during, ths en
suing two months will be de
voted to this most far-reaching
advertising campaign, one half
being borne by, us, the other half
by 'the respective manufacturers.

As stated in the drawing, the
? ilanos to be seen in this adver
Isement represent -the o total

Jhe Pianos shown In the ', long
column represent the 'propor
tion of the total sold by SUern
Piano Xouse. The Pianos in
the little cotvmn . represent the
proportion sold by all other deal

men and women who have bought
