Headers of Omaha papers have read colutna of ads. about fire , Binoko , water , iuvontory , removal , alteration , and other pinno snlos and now a "strike sale" has struck Norfolk. Thcso Bolioiucs have boon ridiculed and exposed by the trade papers for n long time past and the public cautioned against them. The man does not live who cau suvo $5.00 each buying pianoa by the car load and their Btory about handling thorn by the thousands ia only buncombe - combo and bait for suckers. Only a few wooka ago Hovoral Nor folk merchants were induced to pay tliroo prices for a Hospo piano and while they may not have known it then , they do now and frankly admit it. If you want to buy a piauo coine to us and say , got mo the best piauo you can for ยง 150.00 , $200.00. $250,00 or whatever price yon wish to pay , wo w.ill place it for comparison side by side with any of the so-called " 15 day suapa" nnd if we fall to show you the beat proposition for.the same money you can keep the piauo for nothing and make any kind of a case iron contract you wish when ordering tbo piauo. No first class pianos arc hawked from town to town.

We do not mean the OMAHA STRIKE , but the fact that we have i : 1 STRUCK THE CITY OF NORFOLK with TWO CARLOADS OF THE Finest Pianos ever shown here , and the greatest variety , including the famous Kranich & Bach , Mallet & Davis , the ever popular Kimball , Needham , Hospe , Schumann , Melville Clark , Cramer and many others. Did it ever occur to youthat this "Piano Proposition" is one that should be carefully investigated before making a purchase ? Why ? Because it is supposed that the average person or family buys one piano in a lifetime , and you cannot afford to make a mistake. It would be foolish for us to come to your city with the goods if we could not offer you the greatest inducement and opportunity of A your life. Why can we ? Because we are the Largest and Oldest Dealers in Nebraska , handling thousands of pianos every year , where other dealers only handle a very limited number. You have every opportunity to carefully inspect the different instruments we offer for sale. We invite the most critical examina tion. It is no trouble to show them to you as we are here for the specific purpose , tfow , if you are interested , call. If you are not , call and we will interest you. . If you do not think it possible for us to do so , why , call anyhow , and we will entertain you with a recital on the Wonderful "Apolloette , " The Greatest of Piano Players , which is the only Standard Piano Player sold at a Reasoanble Price , which is $150.00. What we want is to see you at our place of business. Remember , we will be here for fifteen days only , during which time we will give you prices and terms that will astonish you. Our terms are so liberal that every one can afford a piano and our prices the lowest that you ever had quoted to you. A liberal allowance will be made for old Pianos and Organs taken in exchange as part payment. , This sale takes place at the store room next to ROBT.
