]. O. LOCH WRITES
The Courier Receives a Letter
From ]. 0. Loeb. Who
is in Chicago.
Never Before Have Qualities
Been Better or Prices
Lower.

The Courier is in recent of a lot.
ter from J. o. Loeb, who is in Chi.
cago buying his stock of pianos and
organs, which will prove interesting
to all its readers.
Two or three times each year Mr.,
Loch makes trip to the east, and per.
sonally selects his stock Of goods
thus insuring his patrons the yery
best obtainable at the very lowest
prices.
He says that never before has he
been able to secure such bargains in
high grade instruments. This will
naturally make the price much closer
to the buyer and of course insures a
busy season in the musical line. Mr..
Loeb is especially enthusiastic about
the Lakeside. While he has hereto
fore enjoyed a large sale on these in
struments, he confidently expects to
dispose of more than ever, owing to
the fact that the high standard of
excellence in this instrument is al
ways kept up and that they are back
ed by, not only his personal guaran-
tee, but by a large and responsible
factory.
The goods will arrive in the city
just as soon as the factory can get
them out, and will be displayed at the
salesrooms at 1T E. Main street. Mr..
Loeb has been in the piano and organ
business for years and is certainly
an experienced judge of what consti-
tutes a really good instrument. In
this connection he says that he never
has seen the time when such values
were offered at the low prices at
which they are going now
