put on in tie history ot the piano business in this western country. It is the first time in which pianos of such re
nowned makes have ever been offered for sale in such a wholesale manner. It is the first time, as far as knowledge eoes
when suchjiistmiushed instruments have been offered for sale upon such popular terms of 5.75 dollars down and
1.25 dollars a week. Heretofore these great instruments have been offered upon such terms as would preclude even
well-to-do I et sons from buying them. Now we come along and through the might of money and numbers, make it
possible for any person of modest circumstances to own one
of the kings of the piano world.
What the Orkin Brothers piano club
means to the person who joins
The person who joins this club, in the first place, aside
from any other consideration, gets a piano of known quality.
There is no element of doubt or uncertainty. The Orkin
Brothers piano is as standard and staple as wheat. They are
like 18 karat gold. The Orkin Brothers club piano is one of
the known pianos of this country. The Orkin Brothers club
piano has made the greatest strides of all pianos during the
past 3 years. So, as we say, aside from any other considera
tion whatsoever, you can take your choice from the best line
of pianos made which is a good starting point, isn't it?
Something specific about the Orkin
Brothers club player-piano
The Orkin Brothers club player-piano offered through
this big club is the latest model. It has an 88rnote player
not a 65-note player. It plays the whole of the keys not
about two-thirds of them as did the old models. All late
model player-pianos play 88 notes the whole of the piano.
As all regular pianos have 88 keys you wouldn't think of
buying a piano hav ing only 65 keys, would you? Then why
would you buy a piano with 88 keys on the keyboard and a
player built on the inside that will only play 65 keys?
The Orkin Brothers club player-piano is a full size,
upright grand, colonial design, and the player on the inside
plays all the keys.
Then there is another point that should have special mention the tempo artist lever.
This one single device puts the Orkin Brothers cluh player-piano in a class by itself. It is this little lever (about two inches long), and operated by the right hand, that
makes a great piano performer out of everyone. Instead of playing mechanically with the tempo artist lever you can play like a great pianist. With the tempo artist
lever you can control the time in which the piece you are playing should be played. With the tempo artist lever you give your playing every shade the composer intended.
Let us suppose there was not another single device on the Orkin Brothers player-piano to make its player mechanism play like the human fingers (there are half a dozen), let
us discard them all, save this one alone the tempo artist lever still we would say that this one feature alone places the Orkin Brothers Club Player-piano in a class unto
itself.
You can own one of these player-pianos for $17.50 the first
payment then $2 a week without interest added
The club price for your choice of these two player-pianos will be $467.50. There is no interest or extra payments
of any sort on account of any of the many privileges that club members will enjoy.
We want again to make mention of these terms Lay aside the price467. 50 dollars and the cash saving it carries with it
of 25 cents each and every week you pay faster than the regular terms of 2 a week. But let us center your attention on these terms-17.50
dollars the first payment-then 2 dollars a week Without interest added. If the Orkin Brothers Club Player-Piano Club did not have
another redeeming feature this one of terms would carry it to success; 17.50 dollars the first payment then 2 dollars a week
enable anyone to buy the best the world affords in player-pianos and scarcely miss the money.
Do vou know the regular terms on pianos like the Orkin Brother:
Player-Piano? .
Let us tell you. Not less than 50 dollars down then 15 to 25 dollars a
month, with interest added at the rate of 7 per cent. But through the Orkin
Brothers Player-Piano club 17.50 when you join, then 2 dollars a week without interest
added. Quite a difference, isn't there? The keynote of this whole club prop
osition is, best player pianos best price best terms best everything.

If you want an upright piano without
the player attachment Join the
Orkin Bros, piano club
That there can be no misunderstanding, let us again tell that .' hun
dred and 77 dollars and 50 cents includes everything Che Orkin Brothers
pluno club member has to pay. In other words, it la the outside price, or
the extreme price.
The pianos are of the most reliable and trustworthy mt- worth ;'75
dollars each.
To sell them and sell them quickly we planned and organized a gi
gantic club, a club of 100 members, each and every member to enjoy
the same advantages and privileges.
W decided to sell the pianos in this way, at 277 dollars and M MMtl
each.
We arranged to sell them without adding Interest to the prh-e asked.
W placed the payments at 8 dollars and 75 cents as the first pay
ment, and 1 dollar and 25 cents a week for the remaining payments.
The price ($277.50) included everything -charging uo'hing more im
any privilege extended members.
We arranged a year's exchange privilege for members, which enables
them to exchange their pianos at any time within cue year without mean
log one penny's loss.
We got up a life assurance feature for members, which canct Is all
payments In the event of the death of a club member.
We figured out a rebate system so that those who wunt to pay fast
er than $1.26 a week will profit by it by getting a reba e of 15 cnts in
cash hauded back for each and every week they pay in advunce.
Uoiliug the whole plan right down, we put Into the plan very ad
vantage and privilege that would suggest Itself to us to make this big
Inaugural sale an instant success.
And It has been.
Cannot we have your application? Can we not at least show you
the pianos aud go over the whole proposition with you?
