I sell high-grade Pianos, prize winners at all of the great expositions. I do not haul Pianos around, peddle them, and leave them on trial. My companies are reliable and are able to Make Good Every Piano. This peddling of Pianos is very expensive and the purchaser pays the expense every time. It is strange that sensible people will buy that way. Don't you know if you have a Piano ordered direct from the factory, it can be sold on a shorter profit? It's injurious to Pull and Haul Pianos About. It loosens them and in a short time they will be * 'broken down." You can't do better anywhere. I can sell NEW UPRIGHT PIANOS From $150 to $750 I can show you many makes of Player Pianos, and will give you the lowest prices and satifactory terms. Let me save you money. L. A.
