Once again we tell this whole piano story
HPHIS is a story of success of unprecedented success. It's a story of planning
X then pf concentrating unlimited power on working out the plan until it's a
story of such stupendous success that the telling is spontaneous. We could
not help repeating it if we would or would not if we could. , It's inspiring. It runs
off the pencil faster than we can write. The reason for it, is the plan itself. Here
it is: Don't miss .-a single syllable.

CfWhen you finish paying for your piano, if bought in the usual way, you still owe from twenty-five to
thirty-five dollars interest. Through this co-operative plan, when you have paid your two hundred nud
forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents, you have finished paying. There are no further payments
to bo made, either on account of interest or for any other reason.

Read what Prof.
Jones has to say
about the pianos.
"Up to this timo I havo now
inspected seventy-two of theso
pianos and twonty-olaht of tho
player-pianos and t must say
that thoy run morn uniform In
quality of tono and more eron
in touch and regulation than I
would havo thought posstblo
with such a largo number of
Instruments. Naturally,. I have
been interested in readl'nK your
advertisements, and must say
that your Instruments are
everything you claim for them."
Read this:
The whole plan applies to player-pianos as well
One Hundred player-pianos are also being sold on this same co-operative plan.
Tho usual price of these player-pianos is five hundred and fifty dollars each.
The Co-operative price is three hundred and ninety-five dollars, with NO INTEREST to be added.
The player-piano will also bo delivered immediately upon the payment of five dollars.
Tho paymonts are two dollars a week giving you one hundred and ninoty-fivo weeks' time in which to make
payments, the same as on tho piano. Tho same unconditional guarantee that is given" on tho piano is given
on the player-piano.
Von can also get your money backat anytime within thirty
days.
You get the same privilege of exchanging within a year, as
that given with the piano.
11 of the unpaid balances will be voluntarily cancelled in
event of death.
Also, a player-piano bench and the use of 1,000 rolls of
music free of charge for one year.
An arrangement will be made with each purchaser whereby new
player rolls can be procured at a special discount of 20 per cent
from the regular catalogue prices.
We attribute the success of our Player Department largely to the fact
that we have been careful to select only such Player-Pianos that
would not only give satisfaction to the purchaser, but that would
lend prestige to this department of our business.
We believe that we have sold more player-pianos than any other piano
concern in this section of the country, and in this great Co-operative
Sale we have been careful to select only such Piayer-Pianoa
that can be sold upon, not only the manufacturer's guarantee, but
OUR GUARANTEE.
np All of the features of the co-operative plan are carried out In
T1 offering the player-pianos, with the single exception that the
terms on the player-piano are two dollars a week instead of as on
the piano one dollar and twenty-five cents a week,
To tako advantage f
this unusual sale, all
you have to do is to
send or bring in ffot dollars, for whlcu wo wli.ai uiio
give you a receipt.
This five dollars is credited to your account or.
the co-operative books.
The co-operative plan then allows one hundred
and ninety-five weeks' time in which to pay the re
mainder at the rate of ono dollar and twenty-five
cents a week if you select a piano, or two dollars a
week if you solect a ptayvplar.o. There are no fur
ther payments of any kind to be met.
You, may make your selection at once tomorrow
next day next week or any other time conveni
ent to you. It will be delivered immediately next
week or next month. The time you select your in
strument and the data of delivery is wholly optional
with you.
If not convenient for you to personally select
jour instrument we will make the selection for you
under your instructions, with the understanding that,
if at tho end of a thirty days' trial you are dissatis
fied, io f will refund your money and send and get the
Instrument.

f Within one year from the day you got your piano, through this co-operative plan, you may exchange it
for any reason whatsoever, without so much as a penny's loss.
JTA.11 payments remaining unpaid are voluntarily cancelled in event of your death thus leaving tlio
piano frco of enoumbrance to your fmnily.
CjYou got through this co-operative plan an opportunity to earn cash dividends for each and every week's
time the life of the co-operative agreement of ono hundred and ninety-five weeks is shortened. Through
this privilege it is possible for you to earn cash divideuda, amounting in all to twenty-nino dollars and
tfwonty-fivo cents.
JTAnd finally you are given opportunity to secure others to co-operate in this plan. This still further re
duces tho cost of your instrument.
About the piano itself
The pianos themselves that go into this sale will grace
any home. For downright durability, they are as good
as any pianos made, laite tne
physical piano itself; that is,
the woods that go into the case;
the ivory that goes into the keys;
the German felt that goes into
the hammers and the steel wire
that goes into, the strings, and so
on and so on, and you get as much,
in fact, you get the same identi
cal materials as you get in many
four hundred or four hundred
and fifty dollar pianos. They are
made by some of the representa
tives in one of the piano manu
facturing plants of this county
a , ir nor tne largest, vv uer c
mcvw oJILvUyp pianos are built well and econo
mically, and where there is an
abundance of capital to procure
the best there is to be had, and to "back up" our guaran
teethe strongest ever placed upon musical instruments.
Exchanging the piano
A paragraph in our co-operative agreement reads like this:
"Privilege is given to exchange PiartO $J&u?, .t. .at any
time within one year from date for any -other new piano
we handle at time exchange is made (welfrer'df.e'qual 6r
better grade), all payments made t
on aoove mentioned instrument to
be credited on new contract."
Do you get the full force of this
part of our contract? (Mind you,
this is part of our contract with
you. This is part of the agreement
we sign and hand to you the min
ute you become a member of this
Co-operative Society.)
This simply means this: That
I you purchase your piano or player-
piano tnrougn hub pmii suojecu to

the vear vou feel that the instru
ment you selected is not what you

Wouldn't you like to bo able to buy your other household articles, ybur

Let us make this plain'. It costs you no more, as an initial out
lay, to put the player-piano in your home than it does the piano.
The player-piano itself costs you more than the piano Ono hun
dred and forty-six dollars and twenty-five cents more. Your weokly
dues are larger, also: Two dollars a week, as 7.gainst one dollar
and twenty-five cents a week for tho piano. But yournitial pay
ment and tho length of time given in which to make your payments
(one hundred and ninety-five weeks) are identically the same
whether you solect a piano or a player-piano. ,
In other words, you pay fivo dollars as a privilege to participate in this
co-oprratlvo sale. This five-dollar payment is credited to the price of which
ever instrument you decide to take and you aro then privileged to take your
choice the piano or the player-piano. This makes it plain, doesn't UT
