A REMARKABLE RECORD.
a SALE THAT HAS ADVERTISED
OUR CITY.
Some OF Its Incidents and Details
Even Supplying frisco
What Tt Means.

The fame of the Kohler & Chase
piano sale does not seem to be con-
fined to this city alone, for almost
every mail brings inquiries from vari-
Gus parts Of the State, one letter even
coming from Southern Arizona. One of
the phenomenal features of the sale
and one that speaks volumes for the
genuineness of the bargains this house
is offering, is the fact that several in
struments have been sold here to resi-
dents of San Francisco, who found. up
on investigation, that a piano could be
secured here during the sale for a great
deal less money than the same styie
and quality would cost in San Francis
co, where there are no less than twen-
ty-eight competing music firms.
A beautiful Fischer upright cabinet
grand piano in fancy mottled walnut
case, exquisitely handcarved. which wac
the highest priced instrument of This
make in the whole stock, win go to San
Francisco tomorrow, having been teIe-
graphed for by prominent State Of
fetal who saw the instrument here
thursday. Pianos have probably been
sold heretofore by mail, but it is safe
to say that never in the history of piano
selling in Sacramento were Instruments
sold by telegraph and by long-distance
telephone, as has been done in several
instances during this sale. The last one
to be sold in this way was a beautifri
medium-sized Kimban piano in fancy
quartered oak, which was received ves-
terday by A. NJ. Scott of Chico. who ia
a very accomplished musician, not onlv
ht1f ole
linist and cornet player He had to de-
pehd entirely upon the judgment and
honesty Of Messrs. Harvey &, Oschna,
IN selecting an instrument for him, and
expresses himself as more than delight
ed with the piano sent him w. e.
Collins of Placervjlle also bought a
fine walnut Kimball by telephone.
These are but a few instances OF the
way business is being conducted. This
mouse is giving unquestionable bargains
and the record Of instruments so,d
during this sale proves conclusiv4jv
that all this talk of mo money in tho
country" etc, is unfounded, and thar
when favorable opportunity for in
vestment arises there is money i'm
plenty, and no real bargains need on
begging for buyers.
The class Of people who are patron-
izing the sale include some of the hest.
known business and professional nAon1a
in the conlmunity-men and women of
business judgment and experience who
know a bargain when they see If and
are quick to take advantage of anv
money-making or money-saving onnor-
tunity. No less than four teachers in
our public schools have secured nianos
here since the sale opened.
While the great sale has virtna1lv
closed, there are several of the varv
finest instruments still remaining on
hand, and these may be had to-roor-
row on the same terms and prices az
heretofore, while several secondhand
pianos are being closed out as an
nounced elsewhere. There are also eev-
eral medium priced brand new pianos.
1t IS safe to say, however. that little if
anything win be left to select from
after the middle of this week. as all
the instruments intended for the sale
have been received, and Mr.. Eilers. the
general agent from the San Francisco
house, states positively that no more
pianos or organs Will be shipped here
to be sold at sale prices.
