Two Carloads Of Kimball Pianos and Or
gans Are Coming.


The largest and finest shipment ever
brought to Astoria.
/ am pleased to announce to the music
loving public and my friends of Astoria.
that two carloads of Kimball pianos and
organs left our factory in Chicago for
Astoria on July 3. This shipment con-
tains an elegant assortment of pianos
Of all styles sizes and prices, from a
plain case to our handsomest cabinet
grand upright containing our world s
fair scale. 1t also embraces a fine as
sortment Of organs from plain neat case
to a most elaborate case with French
plate mirrors.
These instruments win be eold to pri-
vate buyers by the manufacturers direct
at wholesale prices, plus the expense OF
laying them down at Astoria This will
give every one al chance to get high
grade instrument from first hand and save
refill dealers profits and agents com
missions This is your chance to get
ahead of the middle man and get a
fine piano and organ for less than agents
are asking for second grade Instruments
The Kimball plano and organ have been
sold IN Astoria for the last four years
and there are dozens of them In use here
now. They stand the severe climate OF
Astoria and give universal satisfaction
Only last August a carload OF Kimballs
was sold In Astoria and they are so well
and favorably known that 1t would be
superflous to tell the citizens OF Astoria
anything about their merits. In conclu.
sion we will say that these instruments
will be on exhibition in Astoria by July
