At the Great Bankrupt Sale Of the Perfield
Piano Co.'s Stock.
War in Prices. War in Terms. War on Giving Music
Lessons, War on Commissions
Farnam Street

We are declaring war on prices and
all other abuses in the piano trade that
the buying public has to pay. Did you
ever consider If your friends get a
commission when you buy piano that
YOU are the ole who pays It? Well,
YOU are, and If the dealer throws in
term of music lessons you are the
one who pays for 1t. You do. In
place of giving you" all these things
that you are paying for, we are going
to cut in two the price of the piano for
you. Don't this look better than Civ
ing it to your supposed friends?
Let us say for your benefit, Mrs.
Piano Purchaser, that we are giving
the people of Omaha the greatest
chance to buy a high grade piano ever
offered them, and our reason is that
we are forced by bankruptcy to sell
these pianos at prices to sell them
quickly, and we are doing it, notwith-
standing the unkind onslaught made
by our brothers on us, and we are cut
ting prices that make them shudder at

Prize Float Brings Business,

Perhaps no participant in the Ak-sar- Ben
Industrial Parade feels greater satisfaction
over the results than Mr.. r. r. Evans of
the City Steam Laundry. While their float
was designed merely to give an amusing
contrast between the old and the new
laundry methods and in fact was awarded
the $50 prize, as the most comical float in
the procession. the public have insisted
upon taking the matter seriously and have
decided that "The New Way is by far the
best way.
The people are awakening to the fact
that the City Steam Laundry is away in
the lead in its line, in the care given to all
classes Of work. The New Presser ma
chimes have taken the place of the old
ironing board-and the result is that Teie-
phone Douglas 254 has been a busy number.
Mr., Evans assures us, however, that with
their improved machinery they are able to
take care OF their rapidly increasing busl-
ness and collections and deliveries are
made with their well known promptness.

what we will do next.
Look at these prices on such well
known makes, both new and used, as
Smith & Nixon, Ebersole, Haines Bros,
Armstrong, Knabe, Kimball, Brewster,
Newman Bros, Normandie, etc, AT
prices from $S7 up to S39S for new
uprights and $40 up on squares and
used uprights. Organs at your owa
price. If you are skeptical call on any
other dealer, get his lowest prices,
then come to us. and If we cannot
show you piano that is the same
grade for 500 less money, we don't
want to sell you, for we can do 1t, and
Mr.. Dealer knows it. That is why he
is offering all kinds of bats to keep
you from coming here to see what you
can buy first-class piano for. We are
having a most successful sale and SELL
ing many pianos daily, and it is up to
you to call and let us show you what
we can do. Remember you will have
TO move quickly, as this sale will not
last much longer; so call day or even

One faction of the democratic party

stitches and take the patient out for a

the headquarters with the "Dahlman dem

the permit was granted. Then the demo-

the mayors office and urged that the per-

revoked and one granted to the demo-
