READ AND PROFIT THEREBY

Now is the time to get down to business, and deal in facts and figures. Therefore we offer good serviceable upright grand pianos for this week only, fully guaran- teed. for s1O9, s119, sl29, s1s9. s14s. Cash payment $15 down, ss per month. See our windows, also the pianos on the inside and if you are not thoroughly convinced that these pianos are worth from $40 to $50 more than instruments of equal merit can be had elsewhere, do not buy them, but certainly it is your right and privilege to investigate and save money, after being convinced as to the above assertion. We will continue business right along after January 1, mak- ing good all guarantees, promises, etc. No customers notes sold, traded, or hypothe- cated.
 As to other firms "closng out to quit busness," that is no concern of ours. Real ly we have nothing to do with it, though there may be some alleged changes in firms after January 1, but we hope none of our friends will hold their breath until the doors of the present stores now engaged in selling pianos are closed and instruments cannot be had after January 1, same as heretofore. Open evenings till 10 o'clock.

Some Suggestions Tor Christmas Gifts.

The last few days of the holiday time
often find us with a Christmas list not
wholly cancelled, and bring the remem-
brance of those to whom it would be a
pleasure to send some simple token, es-
pecially of ones own devising. 1t is said
that the homemade gift will be more
than usually in favor this year. Be that
as 1t may, there are always those VIII,
prefer to offer something which Is their
own handiwork. and who fancy that such
gifts have value that no others pos
sesses. 1t seems also to be a current belief
that gifts of this sort more often fall
into the list of useful" gifts. 1t is to
meet these wants that the following di-
reetions are offered. All the articles men,
toned are easy. of construction, and in
expensive, and the making of most Of
them requires a minimum of time.
A very convenient fixture for ones
chamber or sewing room, or even for an

room, has for its foundation large.
