QMBTUfJITY
PRESENTED TO PURCHASE
AT STARTLING REDUCTIONS
Plans are under way to consolidate all the Eilers
Music House interests in Eastern Washington and
Oregon into one company". To facilitate this plan,
made necessary by the recent death of our President,
the present stock of merchandise. on hand is to be sold
out. It was found that a definite basis on which to
effect the transfer and sale of Assets of the Eilers
Music House to the New Company could not be ar
rived at without converting it into cash or interest
bearing customers' contracts.
Just as quickly as it can possibly be done everything belonging to Eilers Piano
House, is to be disposed of. Such well known pianos as the glorious Chickering, New
York's pride; the Sohmer, the great American favorite; the Kimball, as weU as the
homotone Haddorff; the Smith C& Barnes, the Decker, the Steger, etc., will be offered
at such low prices as to find buyers for them at once. We say without fear of con
tradiction that the low prices at which these instruments can now be had have never
been equalled before the country over, East or West, North or South.
$65,ooo Stock to go at $40,ooo
If your borne is without a Piano, or mQsioless, oomplete'it now. Ilere
is your opportunity. Bale begins Wednesday morning. All day
Tuesday being devoted to marking down prioei. Cash buyers will
