rejoicing today over the order given

Both Gering and Scottsbluff citiz
ens will now have excellent railroad
facilities as far as the Union Pacif
ic is concerned. The Sunday serv

venience. Gerlng Is experiencing a small
boom. Several buildings are being
erected and plans for more are be
ing made. The new townsite on
which the Union Pacific depot was
erected will soon be a thing of the
past, from present appearances. The
attempt to ruin the old towa in or
der to enrich the owner of a new
townslte met with no approval.

PIANO CAMPAIGN
Alliance piano customers are to
share In one of Uie greatest money
saving piano sales ever staged. W.
M. Robinson, manager of the piano
department of Orkln Brothers, is
inaugurating a piano sale which will
save purchasers $100 on each Instrument.
The following article, from the
Omaha Bee of October 13, shows the
plan of the sale. Alliance people
are to share in the sale with the
Omaha people. The article says:
Unless he has allowed his enthus
iasm to run away with him, W. H.
Robinson, manager of the Orkln Bros
piano department. Is superintending
the biggest activity In Omaha this
all, excepting, perhaps, the Ak-Sar-
Ben. Mr. Robinson la putting on r
big co-operative piano sale whereby
he works about six hours extra each
day and gives the people of Omaha
a chance to save $100 on the pur
chase of a piano.
The sale is a phenomenal one In
the history of piano selling and is
somewhat similar, although of much
larger proportions, to the club that
he held last year. Orkln Bros, co
operate with the public in this sale
and by so doing both parties con
cerned make a gain, as is always
he case when co-operation super
sedes competition. Orkins secured
00 pianos direct from the factories
at ridiculously low coat and because
will be more profitable to sell the
pianos at a reduced price at once
in place of holding them for a time
and eventually receiving the market
rice, they decided to try the co-op
erative system of selling.
The system was a success when
Mr. Robinson attempted it at Alli
ance early this year, so it was
bought that it would be Just as
prcst a success in Omaha, where the
people are far more educated in the
nside workings of selling and adver
tising. Mr. Robinson sold 117 pianos
at Alliance between February 28 and
July 4. Considering the difference
n population to draw from and the
further business ability of the Oma
ha buying public It is almost certain
that the pianos will be sold in an in
credibly short time.
Each piano is valued at $350, but
will be sold for $248.75, which is a
saving of $101.2.5. If a piano player
accompanies the piano the total
cost will be $395, the original cr
being $550. But 100 piano players
will be sold during the sale.
The co-operative system Includes
an advanced plan of payment. It is
the installment plan with plentiful
variations that favor the purchaser.
The initial payment Is $5, while the
subsequent weekly payments amount
to $1.25. If the original purchaser
should die all further payments will
be eliminated and a slsned certifi
cate of ownership free from Incum
brance will be given the hoir of the
deceased.
The plan is simple and in every
way ravors the customer, said Mr
Robinson. "Of course the store prof
Its but their profits lie in the quick
removal of the piano from the stock.
The percentage of interest that ex
ists always takes a part in the prof
its a business concern realizes on
sales and as pianos are not rapid
sellers, interest is an important item.
By the co-operative plan hte amount
of profit Is smaller but the real prof
1 deducting interest, will overcome
the smaller original amount. But to
the purchaser interest has little sig
nificance and he thereby gains on
'he lower price. It is one of the
blgges undertakings of its kind In
the country and there are few stores
in the west that would dare under
take the proposition. The Orkln pi
ano department Is one of the bigg
est factors In the piano business
wet of Chdcago and it is their fam
iliarity with the existing conditions
hat enables them to mako the Im
mense reduction and still keep the
balance on the right side of the
ledger."
