AT FACTORY PRICED
Must be Sold Within Ten Days
Pianos of world-wide reputation such as Kimball, Decker &
Son, Lester, Marshal! & Wendell, Hobart M. Cable, Kohler &
Campbell and the celebrated self-playing Auto-piano offered
at prices never before quoted in this city.
Commencing Wednesday, June 10, we inaugurate our annual sale of Pianos in Hood River at the Bartmess Furniture
Store. Owing to the proximity of Hood River to Portland, our headquarters, we have not deemed it wise to establish a
branch store here. We prefer to annually hold a big ten days sale and give the people of this city and vicinity the bene
fit of the cost of operating a piano house here. Including rent, drayage, and freight bills, salary of local manager, etc.,
the cost of operating a store m a city of this size amounts to not less than $3,000 yearly. You, Mrs. Piano Purchaser,
will get the benefit of this tremendous saving during this big sale. For $187 we will sell you a piano for which the small
dealer asks $300; for $248 we are offering a high grade instrument that retails regularly for $375. Do you wish to save
$60, $100 or perhaps $135 on a piano and at the same time get it from a reliable house?

main object is to dispose of the instruments within ten days. You take no risk whatever in purchasing a piano during this sale. In addition to the factory guarantee.
Eilers personal guarantee goes with every piano. Should the instrument prove unsatisfactory, we will replace it with a new one FREE OF CHARGE. Your chance
to buy a piano at a tremendous saving is here. Will you take advantage of it?
