"A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
Those Wanting Instruments Should Take Advantage
of This Sale.-For Ten Days Only.

An elegant piano in the home is not
only a source Of perpetual pleasure, but
nothing will educate or refine ones ma
ture quicker than music. The lady or
gentleman who can entertain nicely on
the piano is usually considered cultured
and is never a wall flower in society.
A few years ago a piano in the home
was the sign Of wealth, as the prices
and terms to obtain one were so high
that none but the well-to.do could af-
ford it. Fortunately for the poor class
Of people times have changed, especial
ly right at this particular time as this
week the commonest labor can afford
this necessary article for the education
and refinement of his family.
Any thorough and successful business
man will readily understand that one
OF the principal items in the cost of any
manufactured article to the user or con-
sumner is the enormous expense of SELL
ing the article. It is estimated that
this item of expense of putting the
goods on the market and getting the re-
turns back is almost if not equal to the
factory cost Of the article, and when
this item Of expense is deducted from
the retail price it almost cuts the retail
price in two. For example, a good av-
erage years business in this or any
town of it's size is about sixteen pianos,
and five organs. Well, now it costs
about $500 per month, or So, 800 per
year to do business, that is, to keep a
we'll selected stock, pay rent, salaries
to men, freight, heat, light, etc. This
So, 900 expense divided properly means
$50 added to the cost of each of the six
teen pianos and $50 added to each of
the five organs sold during an ordinary
years business. This expense must be
paid by the user or or the
dealer cannot remain in business. Now
we have concluded that this business
has got to be done along different lines,
and will put conclusions into practice.
We propose to do n years business in
q week or ten days and thereby save
the purcaser from $50 to 5000 on every
piano sold. We will inaugurate a sale
in this city which will begin tomor-
row, Wednesday. October 25th, and
will continue for a week or ten days
and no longer. We offer sixteen pianos
and five organs at the exact wholesale
cost and will crowd one years business
into ten days and save the people the
expense item Of $50 on each piano.

BEWARE SPECIAL CONTRACTS.

inequalities of the Practice shown by an
Insurance journal.
The State Life of Indiana has secured
almost all its business by an iidiscrim-
mate use Of special contracts in various
forms. For this practice it has been
chased out Of Georgia, Tennessee, ILL
nois, Ohio, Michigan and Kansas where
the use Of the contracts was prohibited
and held to be negotiable, unjust and
unlawful. At the present time, this
company has been cited to show cause
why it's license to do business in Colo
RADIO should not be Cancelled because its
use Of these contracts. In Indiana Mr..
Hart, who is auditor Of the state and
likewise insurance commissioner, secur-
ed an opinion from Attorney General
William l.. Taylor to the effect that
the vice counselor special contract is il
legal whereupon he called the officers
Of the State Life down and demanded
that they cease writing these contracts.
This enraged the State Life officials
and their anger reflected back upon
Auditor Hart through an illegal insur-
ance journal called The Forum. The
services Of three lawyers were secured
and all three agreed that as a service
contract that they were legal and by in
ference and emphasis that as a life in.
