The announcement of this great
sale of good pianos can scarcely fail
to enlist the liveliest attention on the
part of those who may need piano,
organ or piano player now, or those
who will have to buy an instrument
within the next two years.
1t is matter which vitality cen
Germs your pocketbook, as it means
the saving of quite a sum of money
IN your piano or organ purchase.
Believing that this announcement
plainly and candidly told will speed
best, it is our purpose to make a plain,
straightforward statement, giving the
why's and wherefores for this great
cut in prices on first class pianos, or
gans and piano players.
We have been negotiating with our
landlord for some time for extensive
remodeling, and it was Oct. 3, 1903,
when our deaf was finally consum-
sdvanced it is necessary for the work
to begin at once.
During the past six weeks our fall
stock of pianos, organs and all kinds
If musical goods have been coming
in until our store is now damned full,
with scarcely room to turn around,
and here we are with this large stock
on hand, and are obliged to turn over
the store to John Volk & Co. Oct. -,
1903. At that time the plasterers,
painters, carpenters, bricklayers. cleo
tricians, plumbers, elevator and plate
glass men Will have control.
We are going to have new front,
our outside stairway to the second
ioor will be placed in the rear Of the
store, all counters, partitions. cases,
etc, will be torn out, office removed
20 the rear. and new freight elevator
warehouse to be added in the rear,
md all plumbing and electric wiring
changed.
To leave pianos on the floor while
this work is going on would simply
mean their ruin. and rather than
place this fine stock in storage, we
have decided to give the citizens of
this city the opportunity of a life
time to purchase instruments at here
tofore unheard-of prices.
Every piano, organ and piano player
in the house will be marked in plain
figures, one price to all, so that a
child can buy as cheaply as the
shrewdest buyer-some nice, new pi-
mos that have been sIumbering too
long will go at less than half price
We have some of the best makes
IN earth. Including the Kimball, Ho-
bert NJ. Cable. Hallett & Davis. New
England, Whitney, Lehr & Co.. Hinze,
Brinkerhoff. and Weber Bros. pianos,
and the celebrated KimbaH. Chicago

organs.
