Machen & Co. >? O ???<??????^ JO L. A. McCOR The^Piano and Organ Man A few words which you cannot help believing unless you are prejudiced. SELL AS RENOWNED PIANOS for tone, quality, elasticity of touch and skilled workmanship as are made. I have no schemes to sell a piano. When I sell a piano it is direct from the factory to Hie purchaser, there being no unnecessary ex pense. The price is the very lowest possible and the profit shorter than of any dealer in this section. I do not have pianos drayed around and left on trial, which adds to the cost and the buyer pays it. If you know these facts and do not buy of me (for I sell for less) then you simply prefer to pay from $75 to $150.00 more, which is nothing but robbing one's self or of your loved ones. LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THESE PIANOS The Starr McPhail Richmond Chase Peerless Electric And several makes of Player Pianos. With every Piano sold from this date I will give free of charge a twenty-lesson piano course in music. L. A. McCORD The Piano and Organ Man. Laurens, S. C.
