All Must Find Homes Within the Next Ten Days
The Choicest Standard Makes Of Baby Grands and Upgh Offered
by the Big Piano Stores for Ten Days Only

There are times when fl pays mer-
chants to take cost and less than cost
for the goods they sell IN order to
accomplish certain purposes There
are number of good reasons why we
want TO reduce the tremendous stock
of pianos we are now carrying. We
have pianos stored in five different
warehouses in San Francisco. The
fisk Is great, the Insurance is almost
pfohibitive. and we want to have more
breathing space upon our floors. That
is why we are willing TO sell the fine
pianos enumerated below at prices that
are tempting even to piano dealers, to
say nothing OF those waO buy ar retail.

ious TO dispose of all used pianos and
all styles which viii not appear

y Ou can secure these and other
pianos at these enormous reductions.
but the opportunity is open for only
ten days. The person who cOntemplates
the purchase OF piano should re-
member that piano prices are advanc-
ing. Materials Of ali kinds are more
expensive and labor is higher. Manu-
facturers are entitled to an advance in
the wholesale price, and with all OF
our facilities and advantages we shall
NOT be able 20 avoid an increase in re-
tail selling prices after our present
purchasing contracts expire.

pianos-at SlS7 less than the alleged
real value. Could any more significant
example be cited? Two Fischer pianos
