WHEN W E SAY T H A T
tier’s Pianos are the Best Money Can Buy
In Material, Workmanship, Tone and Lasting Qualities, we Can Prove It
There is no present you can give your loved ones that is more appreciated and from which is derived more pleasure and benefit than a good Piano. There is
no excuse for buying a cheap, unreliable Piano, when for the prices asked by insignificant firms, whose representatives will tell you their Pianos are just as
good, but who can never prove it, you can have your choice from a selection of thirty-three of the finest makes. The fact that you have an Eilers Piano
proves your good judgement to your friends, for no firm has a higher standing in the music world than Eilers Music House, and their guarantee is absolute
satisfaction. We never have a dissatisfied buyer. Come today and let us tell you about our instruments and have a Piano placed in your home.
TEN DOLLARS Places a Piano in Your Home and You Have TWO YEARS and A HALF in Which to PAY the BALANCE
Surely you won’t let such a small amount stand between you and so much pleasure and real benefit. If you have an organ in your home we will be glad to
make you a liberal allowance for it toward the payment of a piano. Remember you have one year’s Music Lessons free with any Piano you purchase from us,
and you have an instrument which we absolutely guarantee you cannot equal for our price. Take advantage while advantage is here to take. There will
never be a better time to buy. Don’t wait until next year. Have the pleasure and benefit of a Piano in the meantime. We will g adly prove our statements.
