wholeaale prices Nov. TO you. Mr.,
Piano Buyer. this looks like a broad
statsment; but 4 = The truth. every
word 81 a. OF course. other piano
dealers knock US, we would not ex-
pect anything else. They can see
the handwriting on the wall There
Is not dealer in the United states
that can meet these prices There
Il none In Seattle that try 70.
There are a great many who make
a bluff Of IL, but when II CONES
right down 20 honest hard knocks.
and you ask them 20 make good.
they commence with this argument.
'Sow, this plano r. just as good as
that Nose & Sons piano that they
are closing out az tfsT." OF This
piano Il just as good as the Knabs
pianos they ask you s2se 10 $500"
But when II comes 10 the pianos
which have been sold by us and
every other dealer in the country
for $500. not xE5 less than 1900 in
any case. no matter what cIrcum-
stances we now ask you si5T. This
IL the question that puzzles the
other fellow. We would never re-
fer To other plano dealers In this
sale only that they have In 80 many
cases tried 10 discourage many a
piano buyer. but without a sir Gle
toner WHO has been in eur store. at
least those who really knew the
value Of real plano bargain. We
are not even asking you 70 pay the
freight on these goods. We say
shop around" everywhere. we want
20 be fair with you and the other
fellow. All We ask Is that he give
as time enough TO close out the few
remaining pianos and then the field
will be open 20 him to sell all the
pianos he likes Unfii this stock ~
closed out our store VIII be open
every evening until 10 o'clock. At
these prices we should have cash.
but we know II would take us a
week longer TO obtain cash. We are
now offering almost any piano on
