In announcing this great sale of high
grade pianos we wish to take the pub
lie, the piano-buying public, into our
confidence, make a plain statement of
facts and tell our very good reasons for
sacrificing this large stock.
At the time of the consolidation of
the Clayton Music company and the
Daynes Music company the two houses
carried some thirty different makes of
instruments. The new company has
tried to do justice to all of these fac
tories and bought literally from all Of
them.
After giving this plan fair trial for
six months we find that in justice to
ourselves and to certain factories we
must drop a number of these lines. We
regret this very much. as nearly all of
them are makes that have been han
died in this city for many years. fine
old makes, whose names are household
words throughout the whole country.
At a recent meeting of the directors
of this company it was definitely set
tied as TO what lines this house would
carry in the future. AS we have on
hand a large stock of the makes we
will discontinue handling, the question
naturally came up as to the disposition
of these pianos.
IT WAS FINALLY DECIDED TO
CLOSE OUT EVERY ONE OF
THESE INSTRUMENTS AT ONCE.
DO IT IN A HURRY, EVEN IF WE
HAD TO SELL THEM AT COST OR
LESS. SIMPLY TRY TO REALIZE
THE AMOUNT WE HAVE INVEST
ED IN THEM, AND NOT HAMPER
THE FACTORIES FROM PLACING
THEIR AGENCIES AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE WITH OTHER DEAL
ERS.
We believe there are more than 100
people in this city and state who are
ready and willing to buy high-grade
piano. one of the old makes, at about
what the pianos cost us to lay them
down here. There are just few over
one hundred in all. and the question
for you to decide, and decide quickly,
is. do you want one of them?
If you are in need of piano, if you
will need one within the next three
years, if yau want. a really highgrade
instrument, and if the saving of $l25.
$3.50. sl75 to $3.50 will be any induce
ment to you, we say to you, COME TO
THIS SALE. AND COME EARLY.
In addition to the above pianos we
will include in the sale about dozen
of other high-grade uprights, makes
that we will carry regularly. These will
include several sample styles and a
few styles dropped from the catalogues.
