Six Long Months have we been planning
this SPECIAL HOLIDAY DISPLAY. and Sa-
vannah's Cultured Citizens are now given
an opp 1rtunitY never before equalsd for
placing Instruments Of the Highest Order
in their homes.
Cost, time, Work. and thought have not
Teen spared, and we purpose to make This
Holiday Exhibit and eCent in the history Of
the house-long to be remembered-as was
our Grand Opening Of 1885.
or course, you, the reader, are not as en-
thusiastic ever This Matter as we are-but,
if you are musical and also have an eye for
the Artistic, you tviN enthuSe when you
take in This HOLIDAY DISPLAY.
Let US tell you something about it, just to
tempt you In. FIRST of all, you can't get in
without stopping to admire our mammoth
show window-almost a wareroom of itself
| filled with Pianos in Rich Gases. And
| just back of it the Cosiest Reception Parlor
| that over was. These improvements were
made last summer, but were q part of our
| plan for this very holiday display.
And once in you will hardly know the
| place. SO changed and beautiful. Gallery
| enlarged, and Offices moved up from main
| floor. New grand staircase to piano rooms.
| Elevator glass enclosed. New ceilings.
| Walls decorated. Offices handsomely re-
| fitted. Electric lights everywhere. The
entire house renovated for our next five
| years stay in this block.
Fine Display OF Pianos and Organs on
| first floor; also new arrangement OF Small
Musical Instruments, such as Violins,
Guitars, Banjos, handolins, Music Boxes,
Band instruments, etc.
All in all, the largest and finest Ground
| Floor in the South, used exclusively for
Music Trade. Hard, indeed, to match it in
the largest cities OF the North and West.
! But, never mind the incidentdIs. The grand
feature is
THE PIANO AND ORGAN EXHIBIT
| in our Spacious Second Floor Warerooms.
| Wareroorns that are Richer and Finer may
perhaps be found in larger cities. but neuer
a Larger or Richer stock of High Grade
instruments gathered in any one Wareroom
in this or any other Southern City. This
| Mammoth Wereroom, 50x93 it,, actually
croloded with Pianos and Organs. until

above, the same; the Fourth Floor full, the
Main Floor loaded and the basement
packed.

Over 200 Instruments from old Standard
Makers-well known the world over. whose
Instruments we have sold for Fifteen tc
Twenty years past and hence EnO,c to be
perfect and EndLessly durable.
Do you know that 200 Inst uments shown
under one Roof, is in itself marvellous
thing, and requires an immense building
1t is a common thing for dealers to adver-
tise -"l50 Pianos and Organs displayed
at one time" but actual count generally
shows up 80 or possibly %.
When zoe say POO Instruments we are
not exaggerating one iota They are in oui
building by actual Count-1oe do not esc
dqgerGte an advertising. 1t is not honest
1t don't pay, and il it did we wouldn't de-
it. We are MOI built that way.
