    The facts and figures of the
Orkin Brothers Piano Club
s?
This is the largest single piano transaction ever made in this town. This
is one of the largest piano club ever formed. This is the largest piece of sell
ing work ever laid out by a piano house in this part of the state.
We bought 100 pianos all of one grade and all from one manufacturer,
in beautiful figured and plain mahogany, walnut and oak in the very latest up-to-date
style and finish.
We bought these pianos cheap. We saved big money in buying them.
Many a piano dealer is paying twenty-five to thirty-five
dollars more for the same identical pianos.
And we are selling them cheap.
It,s our intention to sell these pianos. Not our
exclusive work, however. Selling these 100 pianos is
a task in addition to our regular day to day piano
business.
To facilitate this work we are forming a gigantic
piano club. A piano club of 100 members, each and
every one of whom will enjoy precisely the same advan
tages and privileges.
Such a gigantic work means many economies. It
means a saving in the initial cost of the piano. It means a
saving in the freight, in the cartage, in
the selling expense. It means a willing
ness on our part to take a smaller per
centage of profits than we can regularly
afford to make.
So taking all these things into 'account, it means an
enormous saving to the individual buyer or club
member.
To he exact, it means a clean cut saving
of ninety-seven dollars and fifty cents to
each and every memher of the club nearly a
hundred dollars to say nothing of the other
innumerable advantages and privileges the club
carries with it that piano buyers do not ordi
narily get.
The whole story
The regular selling price and actual value of
these pianos is $375 each. The Orkin Brothers
Club price is $277.50 each. The club price in
cludes everything. There are no extras of any kind. No interest to
be added. Nothing to be added for drayage, stool, scarf absolutely no extras.
Two hundred and seventy-seven dollars and fifty cents is the price, and the price In
cluding 215 weeks' time in which to pay it.

We said above that $277.50 includeseverything. So it does. But aclub member can reduce this price by paying faster.
The Club Members' Agreement has 215 Coupons attached to it very much like a bond. A Coupon represents a
week. Two Hundred and Fifteen Coupons represent 215 weeks, or the life of the club. Every time a payment is made,
one of these Coupons is stamped "Paid." If payments are made in advance that is before they are due, a reduction of
15 cents is made for each and every week, and this reduction is handed over to the Club Member in cash.
You can therefore see that the club price ($277.50) can be reduced just as many times Fifteen Cents as you will
pay weekly payments in advance or before they are due. Thus, if you pay one week in advance, you will get a reduction
of 15 cents in cash. If you will pay two weeks in advance you will get a reduction of 30 cents in cash, and so on.
Printed across the face of the contract is an agreement that gives to each
and every Club Member the privilege of exchanging his Club piano, at any time
within one (I) year, without one penny's loss.
You join the Club You then, as a Club Member, become entitled to all its
advantages and privileges.
One of the privileges is a year's trial of the piano. In other words the
Pianos We Carry: Chickering, Kurtzman, Ivers& Pond,
Segerstrom, Huntington Auto Pianos and Player Pianos
and Victor Talking Machines
C lub member has one full year's time to fully satisfy himself as to the character
of the piano he is getting. At the end of the year the Club Member can come to
our store and make mother selection. He can select a piano of eijual or better grade,
and whatever money he has paid, whether it is $60, $75, $100, $200. or whatever the
amount, will be credited to the price of his new piano, and we will take the original
Club piano back without the loss of a single cent to him.
