Here with a Whole Carload of Pianos
Actually on View in the Samms Building
Nine different makes of instruments. In Mission styles, High French Finish,
Mahoganies, Fancy Walnut and Fancy Oak Cases. Prices away down
in fact broKen in two. We shipped by the carload and you know how
much cheaper it is that way than by just getting one or two at a time.
Then we do not pay freight on big, heavy packing boxes that cost nearly as
much to bring in as the pianos themselves, but we shipped our pianos in
harness a whole carload of them and that is the way we sell them thereby
saving excessive freight and the middleman's profits to you. We are malt
ing a revolution in piano selling in this county. Never before has it been
Eossible to have so large a choice, and at prices the equal of Eilers Piano
louse in Portland. In fact we have brought Portland to you, and this
means that we will sell you
An absolutely new and up-to-date Piano in
a mahogany case, which you could not buy
from any other dealer, even if you could
get as good a one, for less than $450.00
our price and your own time to pay for it
$250,00
Also pianos of the highest grade manufactured, such as the Lester and
Pease, Whitney and Kimball, all of them cut to compare with the quotation
just given. You cannot believe or understand how this can be done unless
you come into our store and see for yourself. We mean upright, broad day
l'ght, open and above-board business and want you to prove it. But jrou
will have to hurry, as we cannot afford to continue this slaughter of prices
longer than the next ten days. Come in at once.
