This is the largest player-piano club ever formed. It is the biggest player-piano event ever conceived in the history
of the piano business. It is the first time in which player-pianos of such renowned makes have ever been offered for
sale in such a wholesale manner. It is the first time, as far as knowledge goes, when such distinguished instruments
have been offered for sale upon such popular terms of 9 dollars down and 2 dollars a week, H rieretoiore these
great instruments have been offered upon such terms as would almost preclude even well-to-do persons from buying
them. Now we comealong and through the might of money and numbers, make it possible for any person of
modest circumstances to own one of the kings or the

nroiner-m-iaw, w. n. aucK) Howard,
Tuesday evening at "Wadum's home, 3001
IJecatur street, was exonerated by a cor
oner's Jury, which found that Wadum I
shot In self-defense. The Jury also rec- '
ommended that he bo released from cus
tody, which will be heeded by the police
this evening.
All the evidence tended to show that
Howard came to Wadum's home with the 1
avowed Intention of "cleaning up the
place." It also showed that Howard came
I to the house and proceeded to carry out
his threat by choking his. wife, fronv
whom he has been separated for over two
years, and therr striklng her, After tak-
Ing his spite VJuVr6if his wife he turned'
on hlS brother-in-law, James " Wadum,
f (cursed him and then beat him. After
threshing Jam.es Wadum. Howard struck
Carmen Keiser, a relative, in the face,
knocked' lilm down a,nd then proceeded to
go after Charles Wadum. y
Charles Wadum has been suffering with
rheumatism, for two months and was
hardly able to walk. When he saw How
ard beating his wife Wadum went to a
front room and secured a revolver, which
he put in his pocket. When Howard
started after Charles Wadum the latter
fired point blank, the ball entering How
ard's heart and killing him instantly.
The Jury after deliberating less than ten
minutes returned a verdict of self-de-fenee.

My Best Gilt
i
player-piano world.
What the Orkin Brothers player
piano club means te the
person who joins
The person who joins this club, bi the first place,,
aside from any other consideration, gets a player-piano
of known quality. There is no element of doubt or
uncertainty. The Orkin Brothers Player-piano is as
standard and staple as wheat. They are like 18 karat
gold. The Orkin Brothers club player-piano is one of
the pioneers of player-pianos. The Orkin Brothers
club player-pianos has made the greatest strides of all
player-pianos during the past 3 years. So, as we say,
aside from any other consideration whatsoever, you
can take your choice from the best line of player
pianos made which is a good starting point, isn t it?
Something specific about the Orkin
Brothers club player-piano
tf The Orkin Brothers club player-piano offered
through this big club is the latest model. It has an 88
note player not a 65-note player. It plays the whole
of the keys not about two-thirds of them as did the
old models., All late model player-pianos play 88
notes--the whole of the piano. As all regular pianos
have 88 aceysr-rryou wouldn t think of
buying ' a piano having only 65 keys
would you? Then why would you buy a
piano With 88 keys on the keyboard and
a player built on the inside that will
only play 65 keys?
OF The Orkin Brothers cci&, piano is a
full size, upright rand,, colonial design, and the player on the inside plays all the keys.
Then there is another point that should have special mention the tempo artist lever.
Cff This one single device puts the Orkin Brothers club player-piano in a class by itself. It is this little
lever (about two inches long), and operated by the right hand, that makes a great piano performer
out of everv one. Instead of olavin mechanicallv with the tempo artist lever: you can play like
a great, pianist. With the tempo artist lever you can control the time in which the piece you are playing should be played. With the tempo
artist lever you give your playing every shade the composer intended. Let us suppose that there was not another single device on the Orkin
Brothers Club Player-piano to make its player mechanism play like the human fingers (there are halt a dozen), let us discard them all, save this
one alone the tempo artist lever still we would say that this one feature alone places the Orkin Brother Club Player-piano in a class unto itselL
You can own one of these player-pianos for $9 the first .
payment then $2 a week without interest added ' )
F The club price for your choice of these two player-pianos will be 395 dollars. There is no interest or extra
payments of any sort on account of any of the many privileges that club members will enjoy. s
T We want to again make mention of these terms. Lay aside the price
395 dollars and the cash saving it carries with it of 18 cents each (
and every week you pay faster than the regular terms of 2 dollars a
week. But 'let us center your attention on these terms 9 dollars the
first payment then 2 dollars a week without interest added. If the
Orkin Brothers Club Player-Piano Club did not have another redeeming feature, this one of
terms would carry it to success; 9 dollars jhe Jirst payment then 2 dollars a week enables any
one to buy the best the world affords in player-pianos and'scarcely miss the money.
Do you know the regular terms on pianos like the Orkin Brothers Player-Piano?
Let us tell you. Not less than 25 dollars down and, more often, 50 dollars down then 15 to 25 dollars
a month, with 'interest added at the rate of 6 to 7 per cent.. But througn the Orkin Brothers Player-Piano
Qu)o9 dollars when you join, then 2 dollars a week without interest added quite a difference, isn't there?
The keynote of this whole club proposition is, best player pianos best price best terms best every thiag.
For the convenience of people whe cannot come in during the day the afore will be open evening until Christma
If you want an upright piano with'
out the player attachment join the
Orkin Bros, piano club.
That there can bs no misunderstanding, let us again tell that 2 hundred
and 87 dollars and SO cent includes everything the Orkin Brothers piano
club member has to pay. In other words, It Is the outside price, or th
extreme prio.
The pianos are of the roost reliable and trustworthy sort worth SEf
dollars each.
To sell them and sell them qnloldy w planned and organized a gigan
tio club, a olub of 600 members, 'Cach and every msmber to enjoy the sams
advantages and privilege.
Wi decided to sell the pianos In this way, at 187 dellara and BO cents
each.
W. arranged t sell them without adtUy interest if o the price asked.
Wi placed the payments at 6 dotfars as the first payment, and 1 dol
lar and It cants a week for the remaining payments.
The pries (S2S7.C0) included everything charging nothing more for
any privilege extended members. We agreed to give club members their
money baek If a SO days' trial of the piano was unsatisfactory.
We arranged a year's eaoiange privilege for members, which enable?
them to exohange their pianos at any time within one year without mean'
Ins ene penny's loaa.
TVe got up a life imuuum featoz for members, which cancels all
payments In tne area of the death of ,a olub member.
Ws figured out a rebate system so that those who want to pay faster
than tt.SC a week will profit by It by retting a rebate of IS cents la oaca
haaasd baek for saoh and iTsry :wk they pay in adraaos.
Boiling the whole plan right down, we put Into the plan every ad
raatage and privilege that weuld suggest Itself ts us to make this big In
augural sale an lastast noew.
And it baa been.
Cannot wa have your application T Can we not at least shw yon the
pianos and go ever the whole proposition "with youT
