IN THESE DAYS we are used to talk
ing in round figures. So that it is not
an uncommon thing to hear or see advertised that "you can save a hundred dollars by
buying this piano" or a "huudred and fifty dollars by buying that piano," or "two
hundred dollars by buying THE OTHER piano." Now, the plain facta are that It (akca the bardt Kind
of concentration and the heartiest co-operation between the manufacturer, the dealer and the customer to
effled a real, genuine saving. We am not talking now of a small reduction of say five or ten pr cent.
There are circumstances coming up from time to time which might makt such a saving possible. (Ten por
cent on a three hundred and fifty dollar piano Is THEN ONLY THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS.) But we ar
NOW talking of a REAL SAVING; A BIG SAVING. A saving which la genuine and which Is worth the
while and whicli n worth making a whole lot of sacrifice to obtain.
Such a saving is THIS; on THESE pianos. This beautiful piano is a three hundred and fifty dollar
piano. Thousands of them have been sold all over the country at three hundred and fifty dollars; and
three hundred and sevemty-five and EVEN FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS. And three hundred and fifty or
three hundred and seventy-five dollars never bought more la musical tone, more in richness in case de
eAgn&t or more In durability or all-'round satisfaction.
But through this Association plan; toy the closest cooperation of the manufacturer and ourselves and
a further co-operation between ourselves and our customers, we can now sell these reliable pianos which
have been on the market for years for two hundred and forty-eighf dollars and seventy-five cents. Or,
at a clean cut saving (Irrespective of every other advantage) of one hundred and one dollars and twenty-five cents. The real value of these piano
is apparent the moment you Bee them. When you put your fingers on the keys, what was apparent to the EYE only, becomes a welcome surprise to
on a three hundred and fifty dollar piano

Value of these pianos; how they are made,
and care taken in their selection
These pianos are made with uncommon care, from
good materials, by long experienced builders, in the largest
and best equipped factories in the piano industry. And
while there is a high uniformity among them, yet, as is the
case with all pianos, there's a choice as to tone and touch.
It is thus for the purpose of this most unusual
sale that our Mr. Robinson personally selected each
and every individual make which will be sold on this
co-operative plan. The tone, the regulation, the
voicing of each and every one of these instruments
can therefore be vouched for as being way above
the average.
. . But bo proud are we of tils magnificent lot of instrument
in fact, so convinced are we that this is absolutely the BEST
lot of pianos ever brought to this city, at within One Hundred
Dollars of the price, and so DETERMINED are we that THIS
SHALL BE SO, that we have arranged with Prof. Jean Gil
bert Jones, one of Omaha's leading musicians, to act aa Secre
tary of this sale, and to personally test and inspect every In
strument to bo offered upon this co-operative plan.
Prof. Jones does not have to too Introduced to you by us.
Ills ability in music is thoroughly established his reputation
is beyond question, and we feel that we, in com
mon with those who obtain these pianos, are to
be congratulated upon having someone who is so
eminently fitted to assure us of the high standard of these in
struments. Here are Prof. Jean Gilbert Jones' own words.
How to take advantage of
this Co-operative plan
Prof Jones will act as
Secretary for this big
sale, inspecting and passing upon
each and every instrment
Mr. W. M. Robinson of the Piano
Dept. of Orkin Bros, has asked me
to test and inspect the pianos and
player-pianos which he propositus to
sell at special prices and uuon cer
tain special conditions. I have
agreed to do this work, and so that
't will be known that I have inspect
ed these Instruments, Orkln Bros,
have agreed to furnish a certificate
with the number of the Instrument
written thereon so that I can sign
It and attach It to each piano or
player-piano o Inspected. Mr. Rob
inson tells me that the makes to be
sold in this great sale are well
known for their high musical quali
ty, so I do not anticipate that there
is much for me to do more than to
confirm Mr. Robinson's well-known
ability o select a good piano.

Terms, advantages and un
usual privileges to be had
only through this Associa
tion plan
Everything that can suggest itself as be
ing of benefit to those who want to buy a
good piano has been put into this co
operative plan to make it perfect.
FIRST. Every effort has been put forth to bring the price down to the very LAST DOLLAR.
SPiOOND. Every week's extra time that is poantble to add to regular piano terms has been added
the time being stretched out to one hundred and jidnety-five weeks (or forty-five, months) as against THIRTY-TWO
months' regular time.
THIRD. The usual form of piano guarantee has been entirely dropped, and in Us stead, a guaran
tee as strong as can be written in the English language, to Jointly signed by both the manufacturer and
ourselves and given to the purchaser of each and every Instrument.
FOURTH. It has beont hought
that offering to give the purchaser
HIS M ON ICY BACK would best as
sure that he was getting a "square
deal," and this also has been In
cluded In the plan. So to every pur
chaser under this co-operative plait
we suy: "Try this piano for thlr'y
days In your home. If you are not
satisfied, 'YOUR MONEY BACK
AND NO QUESTIONS ASKED. '
FIFTH. The Idea was also ud
vaneed that a thirty days' 4rial of a
piano was hardly sufficient so that
objection has been met by agreeing
to exchange the piano for any oth
er new piano sold by us of equal or
greater value without loss of a sin
gle penny, at any time up to within
one year from the day it was pur
chased. SIXTH. And finally, the fear ot
losing the pdaaio and what has been
paid upon it, in case of deah be
fore the piano ks entirely paid for,
has been overcome by our proposing
to voluntarily cancel all further payments.
To take advantage of this unusual sale, all you have to do
is to send or bring In five dollars. Cot which we will at once
give you a receipt.
