Celebrated Instruments Now Exhibit
ed in the SaIesrooms Under
Management of A. S. Street.
No. 9 South Eth Street.

| Since carrying Goals to Newcastle"
need surprise none of the unsteady
| inclined residents of Richmond and
| it's suburbs to learn that another
piano and organ house has entered
! this field to contest for a fair share
of the patronage this city so literally
| dispenses. The new house is under
the manageme Mt Of A. S. Street, No.
| 9 South 7th street, and as the local
representative of the w w Kimball
Company of Chicago, will there exhib-
| it and sell the upright and grand pi-
amos, the piano players and player-pi-
amos, the pipe and reed organs and
also the new pipe-organ, containing
the inside player of this well known,
large and wealthy company.
There are reasons why the Kimball
| instruments should find a welcome
here among prospective purchasers OF
pianos and organs. Without any de-
sire to depreciate the excellences of
other products in this line, it may be
stated with absolute truth that the w.
w. Kimball Company, by reason of its
great capital, it's unrivaled manufac-
turing and shipping facilities, its very
extensive and well syStematized sales
department and its excellent manage
ment, has a position in the piano and
organ trade that at every point gives
it some, usually a very decided, adj
vantage over other establishments.
The company for instance, has net as
sets lover and above all current liza
bilities) amounting to more than
$5,000,000 and its daily cash balances
have a general aggregate OF from
$500, 900 to $35O,0C0; in other words,
it is always prepared to buy its ma
terial, supplies, etc, upon the most
favorable terms, it can carry practi-
cally any required amount of raw and
finished stock, and the credits extend
ed to purchasers of its goods are held
without eXtraneous assistance. The
plant is so large and SO complete that
every part of Kimball instrument is
made there from material in its nat
ural condition The wood for frames
and cases is bought as standing timber
or logs, the metal parts are nodded in
its own foundry and even the wire
wrapped strings are produced upon
the premises. The process of manu-
err hurried; if better results are pro-
durable by measures that require time
and labor rather than quickening and
labor saving devices, then time and
labor are given and the desired re-
suits are obtained almost regardless
of cost. OF course, to do this means
two things: The production of very
good instruments, and the expenditure
of costs considerably above the usual
allotment. Yet the prices of the kim |
ball pianos have been kept well with |
in the range OF all classes of buyers. |
Instruments that cannot be excelled |
in any way, tone, durability, style or
otherwise at any price, no matter how
high The new firm is confident that
in the large stock of instruments he |
is exhibiting now at the South Sew
enth street salesroom there is at least |
one to suit the taste of each pro-
spectlye buyer, and that when a Sc
lection has been made it will be found /
that the organ or piano chosen from /
his stock bears q price so much below I
that of any other instrument Of the
same grade as to render its sale GER
tain.
The kimball pianos have won more t
high awards at great expositionS and +
have received the enthusiastic en- +
dorsement of greater number of /
musical authorities, noted singers and
eminent performers. than have any
others. Purchasers here cannot afford /
TO buy without first ascertaining, each t
for himself or herself, just how good
and how desirable these productions
are. and at what reasonable prices and /
terms they may be procured visit
10 the new store at No. g South 7th
street, will tell the story SATISFACTORY
