The wise man grasps ever opportunity as it is of fered him. In Hayden Bros. Piano Department opportunities in piano purchases such as has never yet been offered Nebraskans will be offered Saturday morning beginning at 8 o'clock. We are going to offer pianos from the leading factories of the world, each and every one of them well known to musicians every where; every one graded as standard and high grade instruments. While they last, you may provide your home with an ornament, equalled by none, at a saving of at least 40'; and in some cases as much as 60 of the usual selling prices of pianos of like quality and standard. This sale will be re membered in the future, and in name will be calld the "Greatest Sacrifice Piano Sale" in the history of piano selling. It is not what you PAY, for a piano, but it is the amount of PIANO QUALITY you GET for your money, but in this sale we are giving a combination to the people that cannot be beaten, which is a Mechanical and artistic quality at the very lowest cut prices. We challenge any dealer to equal any one of the bargains that are going in this sale. A natural question "Why are you Sacrificing the Pianos" is easily answered. We have purchased several carloads of pianos which we have been notified are being packed and will be shipped the first of April. We have no place to put them except in our piano showrooms, and no place in our show rooms unless we get rid of some of the in struments now on our floors. We therefore prefer giving our friends and customers the benefit of the cut prices rather than pay storage for th goods in a warehouse. In this lot we are selling several brand new pianos sent us on approval from the fac tories which we do not represent. Others in this sale are some which we have given up the agency for, others are odd styles of cases bought for show purposes. We are also placing in this sale a few slightly used, but equally as good, as new pianos; some thai we have loaned out for concert purposes; some that teachers have used for instructing; some that we have taken in exchange for new pianos. Every one of these pianos have been to the factory and have been placed in first-class Al condition. In this sale we absolutely and unqualifiedly guarantee every piano sold, and if at any time within reason any flaw is found, no matter how small, we will cheerfully either exchange the piano for another one. REMEMBER that in this sale the terms will be made to suit the purchasers. The three things that should make this sale attractive to everyone is First, HIGH QUALITY. Second, PRICES LOW. Third, TERMS EASY. Below we are quoting you a few of the special bargains to be had Saturday morning at 8:00 A. M. VSKI) PIANOS Wheat & Co., Ebony case W. W.
