Not finding a suitable dealer and
Wishing to avoid the expense OF boxing
and shipping these goods, l have de-
cided to offer this fine stock Of pianos
to the people OF Mexico and vicinity
at their actual cost Of production. This,
l feel sure, can be done when the
people realize the great saving they
can make on their purchase.
Beginning Thursday, April 9th, and
continuing 70 and including Saturday,
May Goth, this stock will be on sale at
prices never before quoted in this or
any other community, none Of them
for more than cost Of production, many
OF them for less. The stock consists
Of some of the best known makes
In the country, in all sizes and designs.
We have them in Mahogany, Burl and
French Walnut, Antique Oak, Rose
wood, etc. We can please you in any
style or finish desired.
Remember, every instrument will be
marked in plain figures. No more
asked, no less accepted. We cannot
here quote prices IN each instrument
In this stock, but as a sample OF what
we will do we offer beautiful new
pianos, in latest designs, all the mod
ern improvements, that retail the
world over at s25O to $3.50 In this sale
at s167, sl6s, s1s4 to s192. Highest
