Every day last week the pianos were
coming to our store from the great EI-
position, and the delivery is now al
most complete; only q few more are to
come In.
Only six more days and the hand
some pianos and piano-players so
much admired by the thousands and
thousands Of visitors 70 the E1posi-
tlop will be adorning the homes Of the
people Of St Louis and surrounding
country.
We hesitate to tell you the exact
number OF pianos sold at the Kiesel-
horst store last week, for fear, the
number being 30 large that II might
appear as a ft subject for unbelief.
Suf1ce to say, and we say this advis-
edly. never before were such 4 large
number Of pianos sold In six consecu-
tive days. under any circumstances, or
in any city In America.
To say that we thank the purchasing
public for this splendid patronage, the
confidence reposed in our house and
our announcements OF this great sale
does not begin to express our full ap-
probation, for the business done last
week was far beyond our most san
guine expectations.
On the other hand. we could not have
sold all these pianos last week had we
not been giving purchasers good in-
etruments at what are really sacrifice
prices, and selling them at these sacri-
nee prices on very easy terms to all
who wanted credit. nor could we have
sold them had we not been carrying
out our advertisement to the letter.
II is the fine pianos at the greatest
mArk-down prices ever offered that did
the business, and no one can be more
pleased than we over the fact that we
are in position to save our patrons SO
much money.
And now for the last half OF the sale
We can only tell you IN a general
way about the instruments, prices,
etc, but In order to close out all this
purchase Of Exposition pianos we
shall make even greater price reduc-
tons than former days of the sale.
Our agreement with the manufac-
turers IN buying all this stock at sac
rifice was such that We are not at lib

traordfnary cut prices.
