To those who may be interested In the
purchase of either a piano OF an organ we
have an extraordinary proposition to make.
A proposition that we are suie has never
been made to the people OF this commit
nifty heretofore, and may never be male
again.
IL is absolutely nesessary for US To Ie-
naodel the whole front of our building,
80 that we may have ample room to show
a large and well-selected stock. We are
cramped and crowded at present, our ware
room is too small and tie street entrance
to our thTeater is tco lalge, and We sh III
remodel the whole front
IL is a wei,-known fact that the gritty
dust arising from brick and mortar is the
worst enemy to highly polished pianos
or furniture, and it is quite necessary Tor
US to either hire another room and remove
this stock, which would he quite expen-
sive, or closeit all out by June 1. Wehave
decided ON the latter. We concluded to
inaugurate sale offering every piano
and organ in the house at actual fac
tory cost, and very many at about one half
the cost TO produce them at the factory-ani
oa easy payments, if desired.
This is a time OF unusual offerings in
the sale of all kinds OF merchandise, but
never in the history of this or any other
community has an opportunity like this
presented itself, whereby private parties

buy them for cash.
