good piano at a very low
price.
S195 and S225. You
pay SO when taken, and
SIS monthly.

If you wish a genuinely good
piano at an exceptionally low price,
you should examine our Llewellyn
Piano. This instrument has gone into
thousands of homes in all parts Of
New Jersey. 1t gives unqualified salts
faction always. 1t is made for us by
manufacturer who knows how to COM
bine good workmanship with econ.
omy. This instrument is produced
under our specifications, and is really
a marvel of goodness and low price.
The distinguishing feature between
the Llewellyn and the usual class of
low-priced pianos is that the Llewellyn
is made to give MUSICAL service.
The ordinary furniture" piano is
made primarily to LOOK WELL;
scant consideration is given to the in
terror, and the construction is too
often deplorably bad.
The Llewellyn has handsome
and well-finished case that is as good
as in most pianos costing double the
money. The interior is carefully con-
structed of durable materials, and will
last lifetime. The tone is full and
of singing quality. The action is easy
and responsive. Altogether this in
strument will compare very favorably
with pianos that are sold at around
$500 in ordinary stores.
You purchase at our risk; YOU
take no risk at all. We guarantee by
a written warranty that is good for
term of years. We agree to EX-
CHANGE IF NOT SATISFACTORY
after extended use in the home.
If there be still no piano in your

should be longer without one7 You
can have one very easily. We make
the conditions of purchase moderate
enough for everybody. We accept $40
when taken; we agree to receive the
balance at the rate of SIS monthly.
You do NOT pay INTEREST

NOTES. We do NOT ask SECU-
RITY, nor do we mortgage the in
strument when in your possession.
Price includes delivery into your
parlor, stool to match color of wood,
and tuning for II months.

Llewellyn for yourself. We think
