EAGU-THISTLE SODA ANNUAL GREETINGS! We wish to extend to our patrons and to the public in general our greet ings on the Seventh Anniversary of our coming to Greenwood. Our Mr. John A. Holland commenced selling pianos in 1890 when he left school and has been in the business ever since. We have made the piano and organ business a study, having given our time and attention to it and have several times spent a week or I more in different factories getting acquainted with the method of construction ? and learning what is required to constitute a first class piano. We emphasize quality above aii things, for the quality i* remembered long after the price is forgotten. Price is with us the next thing to quality. We have ' rock bottom prices, but a box with keys and strings in it is not really a musical instrument and is worth little. We have suffered greatly this year from the consequence of the Oregon I Hotel fire, but we are now comfortably located in the Index Building on Maxwell Avenue, and keep on hand a large stock of pianos and organs, where we will at all times welcome any visitor to our store and will delight you with choice music. We have accommodating terms of sale and fully v. jarantee every instrument we sell. Our patrons run up into the thousands and all are well satisfied customers. Call and see us or write us with reference to anything in our line. Awaiting your calls we remain. Yours truly, HOLLAND BROTHERS, Greenwood, S. C. i
