The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-08-29

To those who may be interested in
the purchase of either piano or an or
gan We have an extraordinary propo-
sition to make-a proposition that has
never been made in this community
heretofore and may never be made
again
| We have. for many years, not only
carried a large stock of pianos and or
gans here at Salt Lake for our regu-
lar retail trade, but we have done a
large wholesale or jobbing business all
over the western country buying direct
from the manufacturers and shipping
to agents to sell for US. The past three
or four years have not been favorable
for the wholesale branch of our bust
ness. and we have fully decided to dis
continue it,
When we arrived at this conclusion
we found we had more stock on hand
than we could sell in the regular re-
tail way in two years, and as it costs
money to carry stock we do not need
(the money tied I'D is worth 10 per
| cent in business), and as all rerchan-
disc depreciates in value from shop
wear, ETC., according to the time it is
carried, we decided TO inaugurate a
sale here of this stock and close it all
out, as we would rather have cost and
less than carry it longer
All the stock from the various ager-
cies has or Will be brought to Salt
Lake, and in order to close it out in a
short time every piano and organ will
be offered, for ten days only, at actual
factory cost and less.
! Unusual offerings in the sale of all
kinds of merchandise have been made
in the past few years, but never in
the history of this or any other COM
munity has an opportunity like this
presented itself whereby private parties
could purchase pianos and organs on
! easy payments for less money than
! many dealers can buy them for cash.
This stock consists of the very best
pianos and organs that money and
brains can produce, such as ''Steinway
& Sons pianos. New Scale Kimbalr'
pianos, Mason & Hamlin. Whitney"
Geo. Steck" "Hinze." .'Behr Bros. -
'Vose & Sons" and other pianos.
This house never has handled the
cheap commercial piano. and the stock
we offer at this sale is the same we
have sold here for 80 years, and five
year factory guarantee will accompany
each instrument, to which we add our
personal guarantee.
Beginning Monday, the Both, and con-
tinuinS until the stock is sold, but in
no event longer than Sept. l. we Will
offer every instrument in the house at
actual factory cost and many for less.
and every piano and organ in the house
/ will be marked in plain factory cost
figures. No more will be asked, no less
accepted.
We cannot quote prices on many of
the instruments. but as an example we
offer brand new, inexpensive cased,
