Orders Coming From All Parts of the
South for instruments From the
Great Removal Sale of Jesse
French Piano Company
at 2o19 Second
Avenue.
A LIST OF TIE PIANOS SOLD

The past week has been unprecedented
in the history of the piano business in
Birmingham in the number of sales made
by the Jesse French Piano company at
201S Second avenue. Music teachers,
college presidents and private citizens
have bought over 40 slightly used and
exchanged pianos at the great removal
sale of the Jesse French company.
Equally that many organs have been
sold
Among the pianos sold for practice pur-
poses was a full concert grand to
Adolph Dahm Petersen, the eminent
teacher who has opened new studio
on the South Highlands the Blrmng-
ham Seminery; Miss Julia Ormen's Music
Studio in Jasper, and the Lineville Col
lege They have saved from 500 to $l5O
on each piano purchased.
In addition to that We have shipped
to Tennessee, Mississippi and Georgia,
as well as to various parts of Alabama.
Among the pianos sold last week were 10
in Birmingham, two in StarlSville Miss;
two in Bessemer; two in Brighton; three
in Decatur three in Eutaw; two In
Pratt CITY. and one each in Eldridge,
! PeI City, Boaz, Collinsville, Chavies,

Several furniture dealers in Birming-
ham and small merchants in other cities
have bought lots of organs at practically
nothing, and will make an excellent
profit on them later. Organs are be-
ing sold from IS to $50, and the COM
pany is giving an organ free to every
one who brings a customer who buys a
piano in the store. An organ is also be-
ing given to every person entering the
store while a piano sale is being closed.
One beauty of this sale is the fact that
the company Is selling pianos and organs
on easy terms accepting interest bearing
notes where the customers prefer to give
them instead of cash.
The prices on the upright pianos are
from SIS to 1915, and on square pianos
from $40 to $75.
The company is compelled to vacate the
store on September % and Is endeavoring
to sell the entire stock of slightly used
and exchanged pianos and organs before
that time, hence the wonderful prices.

Numbers of friends and patrons were
out on the first day to attend the opening.
