p, w Thomas, superintendent o
agencies OF Eilers Piano House, /
now in Astoria, and, speaking abou
the piano business, says:
! Mr., Henry j, riers, our presiden,
has OF late given much thought to IN,
business possibilities OF Astoria an,
has come to the conclusion that As
toria Is OF such great importance a,
to justify opening up a piano estab
hshment on as complete a basis a.
any to be found in the northwest
With this end in view he instructed
me to take three carloads OF the
choicest and most costly makes OF
pianos to be found in America and
give grand demonstration sale.
showing how we sell these superb
instruments at prices that others ask
for cheap ggrades Every piano in
this magnificent stock of grands and
uprights and pianola pianos and other
player pianos are brand new and lust
from the factory, the three cars being
merely diverted in shipment to this
point.
Since my arrival in Astoria Satur-
day morning, ! have gone over your
beautiful city very thoroughly and
while ! visit almost all points between
San Francisco and Seattle have
never felt more hopeful and cnthus-
iastic than do about Astoria. There
is no reasons on earth why your citi.
gems should go to Portland or any
other place to buy pianos or anything
else. Maintain your own establish.
ments at home and contribute that
much to the advancement and pros
perity OF what consider one OF the
most beautifully located cities on the
Pacific Coast. ! will demonstrate in
this piano sale that goods can be sold
cheaper right here than ever in New
York or Chicago, leave alone the
Pacific Coast cities. By the way. |
may mention the fact that many peo-
pie are not aware OF that is that the
Eilers Piano House have large estab-
lishments in Alaska, Oregon, Wash
ington, California, Nevada, besides
our extensive export business to the
Orient and South America. Some |
lime ago the Musical Courier of New
York, the most prominent journal of
he piano trades compiled a set OF
statistics for the United States and
ound and published the fact that out
,f every 100 pianos shipped to the Pa
,ihc Coast the Eilers Piano House

ication our business has increased to
