It means too much to so many. Shorn of all frills the life assurance feature of the Orkin Brothers piano club means that the payments cease in event of a club member's death. F That should a club member die before the piano is fully paid for, and his payments up to that time have been met regularly, all further payments are cancelled forthwith and a clear receipt and title to the piano is turned over to his family. Cjf What this means to the man who is trying to give aducational advan tages to his family, yet is dependent upon a salary only, cannot be well overestimated. The Orkin Brothers piano club plan told in a few brief sentences The club is to be composed of 500 members. Almost three-fifths of (ho membership)! have been taken. Tho value' of the Orkin Brothers piano club Is 91(50. The price to Club members is $257.50. Tho terms nro $5 cash when you Join, then $1.25 per week. Tho piano will be delivered when you Join, or later, as you The weekly payments of $1.25 begin when the piano 1b de- 1. 3. 4. 5. C wish. 7. llvered. 8. Every instrument is guaranteed without reserve for five years there are no "lfs" or "anCs" in the guarantee Just a straight out guarantee as strong as we know how to make It in writing. 9, It, after .'10 day' triiil, tho piano Is not satisfactory we will Kivo you your money back. 10. If the piano Is tatlsfactory after 30 days' use, the club mem ber has eleven more months in which to satisfy himself as to the character of the piano. If it does not then prove to be everything that he expects, he has the privilege of exchanging It without one penny's loss for any other Instrument of equal or greater value that we sell (and wo sell a dozen different representative makes). 11. If a club member dies during the life of bis contract we will immediately send a receipt in full to his family for the Instrument. 1 2. A stool to match the piano and lat at style carf included free. 13. The piano will bo tuned twice without charge. F The Orkin Brothers inaugural piano club has already two hundred and forty two mem bers and couid easily have had twenty more, or n i most three-f if ts its entire membership, K the pianos had been here to have supplied them before Christmas. F Christmas has come and gone and what a splendid success bur piano club has proven to be during the Christmas shopping. Many homes have a piano today, made possible through the Orkin Brothers piano club. H It may not be exactly the thing to do, to men tion one's success in a public announcement like this. But in this instance we are willing to risk it to point the axiom that "work will win, IF This house believes in work. It was found ed by work and is sustained by work. Work coupled with integrity and high ideals and lofty purposes that is what has won. Cjf To be sure, sprinkling generously with this has been a certain amount of audacity. Not the sort of audacity that jumps into a thing blindly., But the sort that is born of belief in one's own power, jf It took some of this sort of stuff to buy 500 pianos, all the same grade, and organize a plan to dispose them when business conditions were not, perhaps, the most enticing. Cff It was an audacious thing to begin the selling of 500 pianos at this time. It was a bold thing to do to buy 500 pianos of a single grade buy them outright and plan a selling campaign (The Orkin Brothers Piano Club) to dispose of them. Such a thing is only done by those who have confidence in themselves. By those who know, their own power. By those who know their public through dealing with them from day to day for years and years and know exactly how the people will respond to their public announcements. We knew we were right. We We knew the time was right and ready. We knew our piano was right and our proposition was right. It's fair, liberal and advantageous to the buyer. 1F The club member saves big money ninety' two dollars and a half nearly enough to educate one child. in piano playing. f It's no wonder The Orkin Brothers Piano Club is such a success. Had you better not investigate it's advantages? Do it now this week. Don't be put down among the procrastinators. Get in on a proposition that is a "go" that is a big success. CJ This club piano is a possibility at this low price because of our enormous business "that is easily larger than that ot half a c(ozen ordinary piano stores combined. Cf Welcarry a stock of instruments that is the most repre sentative in this part of the country. CjT If you ever intend buying a piano do it now. If you want a piano, the Orkin Brothers piano club offers you a great opportunity ff It offers you a great opportunity in more ways than one. It saves you money to begin with. You can actually save $92.50, as you get a $350 piano for $257.50. tf You get advantages of wonderfully easy payments; only 5 dollars when you join then 1 dollar and 25 cents a week. Jf But you get more than these. You got the strong est gunnuitee ever given on a piano. You can gel. your money back at any time within .'10 days. You get, a life insurance feature that, may mean the saving of the piano for your family and you got the privilege of se lecting another piano at the end of the first year, and having every penny of your Huh payments transferred to your credit upon it. The real value of this last privilego is hard to esti mate. In the first place, if you have had in mind pay ing 400 to 450 dollars for a piano and the year's trial of our club piano proves it to ho satisfactory you are a big gainer; aren't you? (JT- In tho second place, if the year's trial of the club piano is not satisfactory you can then get a 400 to 450 dollar piano without the loss of a penny and it will be brand new instead of a year old, as you will havo had the whole year's use of the Huh piano for nothing.
