The Piano business, IN the East dur
materially In fact there is not ar
Eastern neutrality-suspicious. OF
high grade pianos-but finds himself
overstocked at the present time. Con-
trasted to this situation in the East is
the condition of the piano business on
the Coast. Virtually as many pianos
have been sold here this year as last.
Factories Make Drastic Cut.
Eastern makers We're quick to see
that their only outlet was in the West
1t was not question of price. Condi-
tons forced them to market their
pianos at once, regardless of the sacri
flee. Suffice it to state that never be-
fore in the history of Eilers Piano
House-even with our immense re-
sources and tremendous buying power
have we secured such fine, new
high grade standard pianos at such
drastic reductions.
All told, we have contracted to take
off their hands eighteen carloads OF
pianos-approximate three hundred
instruments. This immense extra ship
orders means that we've got to sell
pianos, and lots of them, in the quick
est possible time.
Three carloads must be disposed OF
in Walla Walla and vicinity.

We fully realize that only the most
extraordinary pricecutting will move
so many pianos within the allotted
time. But they're going to move
they've got to move. We predict thai
this sale will be the biggest, and the
shortest ever held. Give the people 8
real bargain and they're always buyers
glad to seize the opportunity.

opportunity get by you.

We have al heard the story OF the
woman who told the new maid to
wash the curtains, meaning the lace
ones, and came into the kitchen just
in time to discover the newest window
shades melting in the boiler. But We
do not all know that when shades are
merely dust soiled the surface can be
freshened by the application of hot
corn meal The shade should first
be spread out fiat on large table and
the meal rubbed In with a circular mo

the dust it has absorbed will be re-
moved without leaving any trace OF
