The prices are something unheard
Of before in Los Angeles, and sew

The fact of the matter is that
anyone having the slightest desire
for Beautiful new Upright Piano
cannot see the magnificent invest

on such easy terms without making
a purchase. Pianos at such prices
are as good as twenty dollar gold
pieces in the way Of an investment
If nothing more. They can be used
for five years and then sold for
more than they cost the purchasers.
For the accommodation of the
public the warerooms will be open
