Trustworthy Methods Build I For PIANO BUYING MADE EASY HERE J For more than half a century Lipman, Wolfe & Co. have stood for the highest ideals in merchandising, selling only ' goods of merit and asking only fair and consistent prices. J Realizing to the fullest degree this fact, we decided -to add a piano department to our store, and more than a year ago opened for Ivaslness on the seventh floor. J Our trustworthy methods have established that nec essary confidence which piano buyers have been looking for. J What is the result? Our piano business has grown keryoael all expectatiosas. q Our "Musical Floor" is one of the most attractive departments in our great store, and every one is welcome to come and bring their friends, see and play our beautiful pianos, hear the latest song hits on the player rolls, and learn how it is possible to bey high grade, standard pianos at the low prices we ask. J We have only one price, the lowest possible price. By eliminating the big overhead expense attached to an exclu sive store, we naturally sell pianos much cheaper here. I People marvel at the wonderful values we offer in pianos and player pianos. And our terms are always satisfactory and we charge less interest on deferred payments than some piano stores charge.
