1t is doubtless we'll known that
large portion of our piano and orgIn
business is done through agencies
scattered over a radius of 125 miles
around our home office. Rock Island.
Owing to the drought in certain sec
tions of Missouri, Illinois and Iowa,
quite number of our agents have
temporarily given up the business
and reshipPed the instruments back
to US.
Fully 80 fine pianos and as many
good cabinet organs have been re-
turned to US on this account. These
instruments have been in our agents
stores from one to five months. They
are all new insofar as having never
been sold. Some are slightly shop
worn, but most of them show no
traces of being in our agents stores.
With proper polishing. which they
will get. any and all of them will
look as we'll as "though just from the
factory The interior of these in
struments is perfect. All will be
guaranteed fully for five years.
Owing 70 the crowded condition of
our ware rooms, and in order to clear
out this returned from agents stock"
quickly we are compelled to make
sacrifice. A sacrifice of not only the
profits but a portion Of the factory
,st as well. This loss on cost and
profits and the saving to the pur-
chasers of these instruments will
fully approximate Sc, 900.
