The Growth and Achievements of
Ellers Pla.no House.
The growth of the Pacific West, and
also its advancement along the lin:s of
higher education and culture is
probably best illustrated by the growth
of Eilers Piano House, Portland's
leading and most popular wholesale
aud retail piano and organ concern.
This business founded in 1897, and
which was commenced in Portland
in a comparatively very small way,
has of late years grown Into one of
the most extensive establishments of
its kind iu the United States.

sold by Eilers Piano House iu the
State of Oregon alone during the past
year, the record up to November lfl
boiug 17SA Pianos, 1015 Organs, 7
Pipe Organs, and 190 Pianolas,
total busiuses of $(!14,15C.C3, to which
must be added the total sales of the
Spokane aud Sau Francisco establish
ments making the sales for the year
1903 quite a little more than $1,000,
000. Iu Portland Eilers Piano Honse
eouducts a beautiful retail establish
ment, occupying an entire quarter
block on the most prominent retail
thoroughfare of the city( Washington
stnet), aud in addition to this a fluo
warehouse and manufacturing plant
is maintained at the corner of Thir
teenth and Marshall streets. Here sido
tracks make it accessible to all the
railroads centering iu Portland, and
careload shipments direct from the
Eastern factories are received at the
doors of the establishment and dis

phuos have been received during the

that have been supplied with reed

tiou of and demand for the highest
grade piauos has beeu created by
Eilers Piano Honse throughout the
state, und it it a matter, of record
that in Oregon and Washington aro
sold more high6t grade., artistic
pianos per capita than iu other sec

of over 30 American piano manufac

guaranteed in every transaction,

Theater-goers who wero fortunate
enough to have witnessed "Sandy
Bottom" last season will find renewed
enjoyment when the play is presented
at the opera house Saturday while
for many who may not have soen it
befoie its presentation will serve as a
delightful introduction.
It is a Southern play, original and
unique nl is a weluomo variation
from the regulation melodrama of the
day. The story is simple and on pre
teutious yet with certain fine fidelities
under it alL It has been described as
one of the most original, diverting
and unhackneyed plays of Southern
life that the stage has yet given os
aud one of the few where tho sympa
thy aud interest of the auditor contlu
nn without abatmeut from the rise to
the fall of the curtain, and the satis
factory disposal of the author's
characters The company present'
ing the play this season is said to be
exceptionally strong. Saturady, Jan.
