AN OPPOR-
TUNIIY
Pianos and Organs at Factory
Prices.
SALE TEN DAYS ONLY.
Orton Bros. Make Proposition Which
Those Wanting Instruments Should
Take Advantage Of.
UNHEARD OF PRICES ON PIANOS.

1t does not take the brain of "a Dam
iel Webster to understand that one of
the principal items in the cost of any
manufactured article, to the user or
consumer, is the enormous expense of
selling the article.
It is estimated that this item of ex-
pense of putting the goods on the mar
ket and getting the returns back is al
most, 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, good average
years business in this town or any
town of this size. is twenty pianos and
twelve organs. Well, now, it costs
$500 per month, or $500, to do busi-
ness-that is to keep we'll selected
stock, pay rent salaries to men, freight,
heat, light, etc. This So 600, divided
up properly, means $50 added to the
cost of each of the 20 pianos and $50
added to each of the twelve organs sold
during an ordinary years business.
This expense must be paid by the user
or consumer, or the dealer cannot re-
IN ain in business. Now, we have con-
tcluded that this business has got to be
done along different lines, and as an
experiment will put conclusions into
practice. Weinaugurated sale which
will begin tomorrow morning Oct. II,
and will last 10 days and no longer.
Now we propose to offer twenty pianos
and II organs at exact factory prices;
to crowd one years business in 10days
and save the people not only this ex-
pense item of $50 on each piano, but
we propose to sell them at exact fac
/ tory cost.
This being branch Of the largest
factory in the world, our pianos and
organs coming direct from the factory
to your parlor, not having to go
through three Or four hands before
they reach you, we can and propose to
save you another $50, making total
saving of $500 on piano and 500 on
I an organ, if you come and buy the
goods in ten days. We trust you see
the point and will take advantage Of
r this opportunity. The Hallet & Davis
