THE E.E. FORBES
 PIANO SALE Continues to Brin0 People to Blrm-
 lnQhdm
PIANOS AT FACTORY COST

The sale of the Frank c. Fite planes purchased by the E. E. Forbes Piano company continues with just as much enthusiasm as 1t began. The reason or this is that no piano dealer can com- pete with the price at which the E. H Forbes Piano company Is able to sell well known makes A good mans pianos are being sold at just about factory cost because in the first place the pianos in the Frank G. Ffte purchase have to be sold at once and again on account of the reason that the E.. E. Forbes Piano company contract for certain number of pianos with the various piano facto- ries and consequently in order to dis nose of the number contracted for, are obliged to sell In many instances for what the piano originally cost retail dealers.
 The E. E. Forbes Piano company do the largest piano business in the south, partly on account of the fact that they contract for large numbers of pianos in order to get a certain additional discount and so it pays them better to sell pianos at the price which ordinary retail stores pay for them and so to give an idea Of what may be bought in this sale we ad- vertise new pianos in mahogany or wal nut case that were originally marked s250. but which can now be bought for S141.5O Then there is another piano of partic- ularly sweet tone which was marked ST29 but which can now be bought for s1sS.oo. But no matter how particular you may be or how fine an instrument you may demand you can get 1t in this sale anu save just the same as on the low prlceo pianos For instance. here is beautiiui high classed $500 piano that can now pe bought for S33S 50.
 In fact what adds importance to the sale Is that all the pianos are guaranteed to be just as represented or money Will be refunded. People who contemplate buying a piano should not confound tnis sale which has logical reason for the very low prices. with the mushroom sales that springs up over night. Competitors know we are selling more pianos than probably all the other Birmingham houses combined.

Meet Me Al the Inside inn
Never Before Did Great Worlds Fair Have Big Hotel lnsiGe
 the Grounds.
Rates Within the Means of All.

Meet me at the Inside Inn" That will be the expression most frequently heard at the Louisiana Purchase exposition This hotel is an Immense structure 400 feet wide and 800 feet long, with 2257 sleep ing rooms. and dining room seating 2500 persons. The hotel is inside the exposi- ton grounds, and operated under the supervision of the exposition management. It is well appointed and furnished In modern up-to-date style, and will be the center of social affairs in the way of dinners and family reunions inside the grounds
 This hotel is in the southeast portion of the grounds, not far from the Plateau of States, and to the north a short dis tance are the famous Cascade Gardens, Festival hall and Colonnade of States, which form part of the main picture of the exposition. Street railroads running by the door go direct to the union rail- way station downtown, and the 1n- tramural road, inside the grounds. carries guests from the hotel entrance to all points of interest. Here is a cool retreat, where persons can find rest, enjoyment and quietude away from the noise and crush of the crowds along the avenues of the exposition grounds. Sightseeing at large exposition is the most tresome rleasure, because the mind is busily en- gagged end finds diversion by constantly changing scenes, while the body is be- coming weary and the visitor does not realize how tired he is until he stops to rest The place to rest Is the Inside Inn. The hotel rates cover the daily admission fee to the grounds and the registered guest at this hotel is free from the an- novance of pushing through the crowds at the gates There are 800 rooms at $l 90 per person. 800 at g. 300 at $2,50.
 The Inside Inn will long be remembered as a distinctive feature of the largest uni versal fair ever held in the world-a fair repr resenting total cost of oO0O0.OOO and as large in size as the Columbian, the American and the Paris fairs com bined
