A NEW PIANO.
A Novel Plan for Securing New Upright Piano
Without ANY Cash Outlay.

This is the time of year for refurnishing and re-
fitting the house TO get It ready the festivities
and social functions OF the winter In many homes
the old square or upright piano will be found to be
sadly out Of keeping with the other furnish
ngs and right here is where the novel plan OF tho
Bradbury Plano Co. will appeal TO you strongest
They offer a unique proposition by which you NAV
secure new Bradbury upright in place of your
old piano without any immediate cash OUTLAY
They are In constrnt need OF second hand pianos
and will take your piano OF your hands giving
you very liberal allowance for II. and place the
new upright in your home at once. The trans
action Is entirely without expense TO you as even
the moving Of the old plano IS paid for by the
Bradbury Co. The balance be settled at your
convenience-but you can have the upright at
once-Monday II you wish IT.
II you have old peno that is Of no use to
you and on which you perhaps paying storage
charges, let US bring II in and stop your expense
giving you due bill equivalent to cash In ex-
ehahge Tor II, which may be applied at any time
on the purchase of u piano.
Don't put OF this important matter any longer
Drop postal TO the Bradbury Factory Warerooms
l22o Pa ave, or phone main TAT, and let us make
arrangements for sending you a beautiful new mod
upright piano that will add so much IN tho
appearance OF your drawing and will be n
and friends. IT
