Why We Make These Reductions.

In straight forward statement we
desire to tell you the why's and where
fores of the necessity of radically
cutting the prices and terms of this
fine stock of instruments.
We over-bought for fall trade and
the factories are holding us to our
contracts. Now we must either store
these goods until needed; paying in
surance, storage charges, drayages
to and from the storage rooms, and
run the risk Of damage from damp
ness, or sell out the pianos and organs
now on our floor by means Of radical
cut prices.
We have decided to adopt the latter
policy and give the citizens of Wal
terbury the benefit, selling many pi-
amos at cost and less than cost.
