TURN
What Is Happening
and Why

Yesterday was a big day adj over
town. Happy groups were gathered
all over town, talking over the events
of the day. Everyone seemed to
partake of the prevalent spirit of
good will which is SO notable at this
time. Perhaps the most joyous coun-
lenances were those of the, many diff
ferent people VINO came to look into
the proposition offered by the leading
piano house during the grea. removal
sale now being conducted.
A SATISFIED THRONG.
All day yesterday our store was
crowded with people who came to ex-
anime our various propositions. In
nearly every case they went away
satisfied and content IN the fact that
they had effected a good saving and
at the same time obtained Just what
they wanted whether it was a piano
or a copy of sheet music.
OUR OFFER TO SAVERS.
We are conducting a. this time a
great removal sale, preparing to move
into larger better quarters. Lately
having purchased the entire stock
of the Lewiston Music CO., we are
combining their enormous stock OIL
small musical instruments and sheet
music, talking machines, etc., with our
large stock of fine pianos and organs
player-pianos, players, etc., and have
cut prices to the very limit.
AND NOW WE LEARN,
That our immense stock for orr
new location is on the way. All the
more reason why you should invss-
tgate our offers. Think of buying
a piano for only S14s: another for
$17S; still another for only $3.50.
more for $21S; and others at like dis
counts. These goods would cost
you ordinarily, from 5000 to $500. /
Quite a saving isn't it? You wonder
why we are doing this. Well, the
principal reason, now Is that our
other stock is on the road and that
we must have room for everythinr
when these come, as there are a mum.
Der of fancy art styles, and finp
grands which 1t would not do to
leave OUTSIDE. Another reason.
which is just as important In our
eyes is that we wish to real,> prove to
people our tremendous buying faciu- &
les, thereby showing that we SAIL s

as, and the police, they went out to the
house and as they tapped on the grave
of dirt, stone and brick, the child

Pittsburg, Jan 5. = Joseph Wood

be a foregone conclusion that Mr..

ed that j. j. Turner will succeed Mr..

that Z. b. Taylor will take Mr.. Tur-
