Y THE SAME OPPORTUNITY IS OFFERED YOU , ESTERDAY we sold a line piano to a resident of this city who had been buying an instrument for more than three years. As his exprienee is a typical one we relato it to you, perhaps your exeprience has been the same He came into our store doubtful and skeptical, this visiting a piano store was not a new experience with him, he had been visiting piano stores lor years in tne Hopes ot tinumg tne mstrumentiie had wanted at a reasonable price. He wanted terms also, terms tnat lie couiu meet saieiy anu wunoui coo great a strain on nis income. He began by saying, in a weary sort of way, that that he supposed this was another wild goose chase,y he had read of sales before and had investigated them all, he had always found the same old story, the same old flimsy excuse too many pianos, got to sell them we purchased this stock from So & So, at fifty cents on the dollar factory sale and the time worn excuse usually given for a reduction in prices that never did reduce. He hadn't been shown but three pianos when he said that the prices, considering the high quality, did look like genuine reductions. He had priced these makes before, he knew what the former prices were. As he went along he grew enthusiastic, we told and explained to him why we could reduce the price, told him and proved to him that we had actually made an immense purchase of our regular line of pianos for immediate delivery. We explained to him our CO-OPERATIVE FAMILY PliAN of selling them quickly and without heavy expense attached thereto, explained how we were CONCENTRATING the BUYING POWER of every single prospective piano purchaser into this big CO-OPERATIVE FAMILY, enabling them to, buy a pi ano for the same price they would receive if they were buying hundreds of pianos of us at one time. We told him how we, instead of sending a high priced salesman out to see' him, involving tiine, commissions and other expense, had our salesman on a salary for this sale and they were here on the floor to wait upon the customers wli,en they came In of their own accord. v What we told him, with what he saw in the way of low prices and .terms, decided him and HE BOUGHT. He knew also that he was getting his.piano cheaper than he had ever before thought possible. ' This gentelman's name is L. E. LAjNtTOjNt and he lives at Trumbull, !Nclr. We refer you to liim for verification. NoW if this man, who had been so long in finding what he wanted, at the right price and terms, was convinced, surely it is worth your time to investigate these prices. You should at least COME and SEE yourself (if we are really offering you GENUINE BARGAINS; you are welcome whether you buy or not, anyway you will learn more about good pianos and low prices than you ever lenew linfovn ' Terms on pianos as low as- $jro down 3 & M Jfm per i Trfr z mum 8 I fessr-i-i'rssHi I M l WIiirtCwr-JMt-w PIANOS Knnlic, A.
