PIANO PRICES DROP.
Sensational Cut in Piano Values. Direct
From Factory to User.

For several years past the W. W. KIM
ball Co., of Chicago, the largest manu-
facturers of pianos, pipe and reed or
gans and piano players, in the world,
have greatly benefited the people of De-
corah and vicinity by shipping a car
load of beautiful pianos from their fac
tories-to this city for distribution.
They are sold direct to the consumer at
factory prices, and on the old reliable
kimball system of easy terms, where no
advance is made when paid for by in
stallments.
Monday, March 10, 1905, at 8 a. m.
marked the opening day and hour Of
another one of these great events, and
the special sale will positively close
Thursday, March BIRD.
Over 800 purchases in Winneshiek
county and vicinity can testify to the
merits of this wonderful piano of world
renowned reputation. New makes of
Instruments representing unknown pi-
ano values are constantly coming and
going-their prices are low enough to
be sure--but the Kimball product, as
their reputation, stands like the solid
rock of Gibraulter.
Our customary ten day expense in
the citizens of DEBORAH is a mere baga-
telle compared to the average dealers
II months expense in doing virtually
the same or considerably less an amount
of piano business.
The remarkable profit saving feature
of this new system in the distribution
of standard made pianos appeals to the
most prudent, demanding their conf
dence, and insuring them of an absolute
ly safe piano investment. The plan
also gives every purchaser an excep-
tional opportunity in the way of case
selection and comparing values, for here
in this beautiful new stock will be found
a complete line eff genuine new scale
Kimball Pianos, as well as an ungraded
line of New York and Eastern made
pianos, all in the latest 1905 models and
choicest woods, marked in plain figures
on factory tags, both as to regular re-
tail price and present factory sale price,
from which there is no deviation; there
fore child can purchase as shrewdly
as the wisest bargain hunter.
That you may fully understand and
appreciate the remarkable proposition
offered, We propose to give below des-
criptions OF these instruments, that you
may in a measure realize the wonderful
values TO be found:

regularly at 1926 are the pianos we offer

Gene raj Interchange of Presents
 Among the Officers and Men.
 Christmas was a happy day among the members of the Montgomery fire department. They were fortunate in not having had a run from sun up to sun down and they were therefore en- abled to enjoy the day in their quar- ters in any way they chose.
 The firemen of the Madison Avenue station were delighted yesterday after noon whenu they received large bowl of ambrosia and fine cake from Mir. and Mrs. E. c. Griffith. Captain Grif- fifth is the assistant to Chief Browder, and he Is always thoughtful of his fel- low comrades. The ambrosia and cake was thoroughly enjoyed and many friends of the firemen were called into the station to assist in making way with the delicious dainties.
 Each of the fire stations, located on Madison Avenue, Five Points and Scott street, was yesterday presented with a F. Browder, the wife of the fire chief. The token was particularly pleasing to the palate and was duly appreciated by the men.
 Chief Browder was the reoipent Of three Christmas presents. From the Madison street station he received a beautiful set of china ware, from the
 
 hunting suit. and from the Scott street station a useful and ornamental chair
 The captains of the respective fire companies were also remembered by the members of their companies Cap tain Griffith received a chair from truck and Chemical company No. 1. and also a handsome gold watch from J. H. Law. a ladderman. Captain Nixon was presented with an elegant watch fob by steamer company No. 1. Another watch fob, of beautiful design was presented to Captain Cochran of the Scott street station. The members of the Five Points station also kindly remembered their respected and esteemed Captain Barnard by the presentation of a suit able gift
 It should also not be forgotten that each fire station was given a box of fine cigars by Fire Chief Browder. They were smoked after the cake and ambrosia had been eaten.
