A Novel Idea introduced i'm
This City by a Piano
House. A Way to
Buy a Piano
AT a Big Saving i'm Price.
Pfeiffer's Piano House
Offers a Club Plan
: to- Piano Seekers.

Although the plants not original
with them, Pfeiffer's Piano House,
located at 1928 F street, deserves
the credit of introducing in this city
the Club plan OF piano selling, by
which people can buy new pianos
at great saving in price.
Briefly stated, the Club plan is
based upon the buying and selling
OF one hundred new pianos OF one
make and STYLE. all within a short
time say couple weeks. The saw
ing to the piano house i'll buying
them that way, taking all OF one
style, and the saving in expense of
selling them. quickly to Club men,
berS, tells the secret. BY the Club
plan as it is offered at Pfeiffer's you
can buy $3.50 piano for only $262,
and your dues pay for the piano.
You get the piano at once. There
is also an insurance feature con-
nected with it which is attractive in
itself.
The Pfeiffer Piano Club is now
the talk OF the musical town, and
Mr.. Pfeiffer is being congratulated
onall hands for the enterprise shown
in undertaking it. Success is written
all over Club A." which is filling up
so fast that another week will likely
be the limit for new members to join.
Those who have already joined are
congratulating themselves, and the
few more that can join before the
Club is completed will have to apply
without delay and select their pianos.
