TRUTH ALWAYS WINS,

We only advertise TRUTHS and

last week THREE bargains in pianos
and all were sold.
This week we offer THREE more up
right pianos at $125.0O, $4,000 and $155.-
co. REMEMBER we warrant every
thing we sell, and can always be found
to make our guaranty good. This is
not the case if you buy of unknown
agents" and wanderers, who handle
unknown makes of pianos.
Parties desiring pianos would do well
to reflect a little before purchasing.
We have been in business in Texas for
81 years; we handle the worlds best
productions in pianos and sell them as
low as they can be purchased anywhere
in the United States, WITHOUT
NOTES.
REMEMBER any of the pianos we
offer this week at s125.00, $4,000 and
$155.00 will give better wear than any
of the new "shoddy painted boxes
now being put on the market. We dc
not demand notes on time sales.
