I have lor sale here in Corvallis a beau
tiful Schumann piano. As is well known
it is a most superior instrument in every
respect, being one of the old reliable
makes. It has been familiar to the musi
cal world for over fifty years. There is
the fine, delicate artistic timbre to the
Schumann tone that places it in the class
of the very finest makes. It is well con
structed in every particular, and all the
materials entering into its makeup are
the very best. ' This Schnmann piano
which I am going to sell, is one remain
ing of a car load sold by a representative
of Eiler's Piano House, at a town near
here. I have been authorized to close it
out at a price way below what it ordi
nun'W all frr Tf is the best value I
have ever been able to sell in Corvallis.
It is handsomely cased in mahogany.
It may be secured .by paying thirty-five
dollars and small . monthly payments.
The Eiler's Piano House full guarantee
goes with it.
