They are locatad In the town of Steger, 111., 29 miles from Chi cago, and are suppliad with lumber from the mills of Messrs Steger & Sons, who own thirty thousand acres of virgin forest located in the state of Wisconsin. These facts are cited to give you a basis from whch to reason. With so enormous a plant, capacity 20,000 pianos per year, with vast purchases of supplies for spot cash, with the neccessary capital to buy the best of material and the best of workman ship, the prospective buyer needs no furth argument to prove that Steger & Sons are in a position to give greater values for the money than any other piano establishment ment In the world. it takes great execute aqility to manage such a gigantic factory successfully and af ter the pianos are built the great problem is how to market them with the least expense possible. The resourcefulness of Mr. Steger was equal to the occasion. Backed by $2,000, 000 capital, he threw open the doors of the bank of SOger, placing credit and capi tal in the hands of a network of Pacific Coast agencies on the ingenious plan of monthly payments from dealer and custom ers, (a purelX Steger innovation) in place long time giver, to firms who represent WINDSOR-ROTH Pendleton, Jan. 7, 1906 , A pretty but quiet wedding took place January 6th at the home of Mr. of state agencies, thus placing the small deal er on equal footing with the larger dealers. The wholesale prices to dealers ars bas ed not on their capital or their individual business, but on the distribution of 10,000 pianos yearly for the states mentioned a bove. ' It is doubtful whether the three largest piano houses on' the coast market this many pianos during the year. Don't you see that Mr. Steger has solved the problem of marketing the finished pro duct of the largest piano factories In the world with the least possible expense to tha consumer? This is an age of keen business competi tion and ilvalry, and the successful mer chant Is he who incurs the least expense in marketing his goods. Messrs. Steger & Sons, with their Im mense capital have solved this problem for their representatives. Mm. J. V. Steger, starting life as a me chanic, without a dollar, , stands the most unique figure in the world today. The wisest inj pianodom wonder wonder what will be the next move of this mighty finan cier for no oue can circumvent him. Inside or out, the better the light, the better the Steger piano shows up, for from top to bottom the material used is the best money can buy. LEXINGTON MEAT MARKET J. V.
