I am so happy and so glad,
I do not now feel blue and sad,
I laugh and talk and take my ease;
1 come and go just as I please.
I tell you what I sold my home
When I listed it with White & Stone.
I wus feeling very bine and sad,
My wife she made me almost mad ;
She. did not want on the farm to stay,
She wanted to sell it and move away,
So I listed it for more than a year
And still I found myself right here.
The agents took myplaee in hand
They were so sure they could sell the land.
I sometimes think they did not try
For they never brought a man to buy,
Thy gave mea wink with a knowing smile
And tried to fool me all the'while. "
GJjjWuh that knowing smile and wiuk . .
They could not fool me, don't youlthink.rQ
I sa w they would t ot sell my home ;
So I listed It witWhite & Stone.
l'ou bet, I found them just aud true;
They will do your work all right for you.
They will always help you if they can.
They deal with vou as man with man.
They'ie always ready with good advice.
And are not iu":a:d to advertise.
So, if you wouli buy or sell a home
Just have a talk with White & Stoue.

cheaper than you can buy tiera. in Portland

than any other agents withiu 500 miles. This
may seem line a boUi statement, but we are
prepared to back it tip with iucontroverti ble
evidence, if tdveu a chance.
ARGUMENT,
AH large dealers, like the Portland firms',
have enormous expenses that we do not have
in tne way of immense rent, electric light,
clerk hire, freight, d ravage and numerous
other bills. .Especially is this true of their
agents who cart their pianos arouud from
town to town, creating bills which you have to
share if you buy of them. Large firms save
about 10 on a piano bv buying iu large carload
lots Do you tiiiuk that makes up for the
above expenses? We' are in a position to sell
cheaper than any large firms aud the way our
customer, are ,i.. creasing gives evidence that
people are nndiug it out. Beware of spec
ial sales, piano clubs and the like.
.No firm :au sell goods at wholesale prices to
the retail trade and no firm does. We
always make a profit ou our pianos aud uever
give auyone a special price, or sell to you for
less thau your neighbor, as we have but oue
price the year around. Tttere is uot another
dealer iu the Pacific Northwest, to our knowl
edge, which has strictly oue price oh each
