l will kindly remind those who are
in position to own a piano, or even
anticipate the purchase of one, within
year or two, that it would be a
sale of fine high grade, new upright
pianos which are being sold here at
our actual factory wholesale cost, in
the. closing out sale of our Lewiston
branch, l am in position to positively
save them 5000 on a piano and on some
styles as much as $3.50.
This is worth saving to any man
and is sufficient difference below the
regular retail price of a piano to fairly
educate the family in music.
In buying one of these pianos under
the conditions which they are now be-
ing sold you save all intermediate
profits down to the factory that built
it.
If there is any finer or better line of
pianos manufactured than the Chick

Gable, Lester, Marshall and the cele-
brated Bailey pianos to say nothing of
the beautiful Marshall & Wendell.

beauty in stock then we don't know
where to find them.

store, at the actual factory wholesale
cost to the Eilers Piano House. the
largest wholesale dealers in the north

lower than ever was or ever will be
seen here again.
