To those Who may be interested in
the purchase Of either . piano or ar
organ We have an extraordinary
proposition to make; q proposition
that We are sure has never been made
to the people Of this vicinity be.
fore and may never be made again.
II may. or may not. be well known
to tho people OF this community tbs,
In addition to our regular retail
business in Rock leland for the past
seventeen years, we have done large
Wholesale or jobbing business. buy
ing from the various factories and
shipping direct to consignmen nj
agents to sell for us over q large ter
ritory In Eastern Iowa aud Western
Illinois. besides we have had . num-
Der Of branch houses in the larger
towns In our territory that were car
ried on by salsried men for us. The
past three or four years has not been
favorable for this branch Of the bust
ness and We have fully decided to
discontinue IL, for the good and sun.
cient reason that 1t does not pay.
We first thought OF closing the
stocks out right where they were In
the various towns, but finally con-
cludsd to ship all Of them right to
Rock Island and inaugurate sale and
close them out. We do this for sew
eral reasons. First, to soil this large
Wholesale stock in the regular retail
way IL would take two years or more.
Second, to close out this stock 10
the various towns the expense would
b very great. and then. too. when
We have bargains to offer We prefer
to give the people Of our home cities
the opportunity, Of whose patronage
We have had our full share for the
past IL years, rather than to the peo-
pie Of other communities. We have
closed up our stores at Muscstine,
Savanna, Dixon, Iowa City, and var
ious other consignment agencies. and
most all the goods are now in our
store. and they must be sold, ~ We
cannot carry such an enormous stock
for retail.
This is . time OF unusual offerings

chase pianos and organs on easy pay
ments for less money than most

best pisnos thst money and brains
