Either this is the biggest advertising
humbug ever perpetrated, or it is the
greatest opportunity ever presented to
secure a fine piano for a mere song.
Well let the reputation of this es-
tablishment and the last few days rec
ord serve to demonstrate exactly as TO
this and what we are doing.
Dozens and dozens of people who
called merely to investigate have found
everything here exactly as advertised.
Every caller has Immediately and
quickly arranged to secure one of these
magnificent pianos at these unheard of
little prices and there are several fami-
lies who bought two instruments.
AS stated before, we need ready
money We have plenty of pianos. We
are going to turn them into cash as
quickly as possible. We know that
this could not be done now without
most drastic price cutting. Profit max
ing is out of consideration now. Ifsyou
have a little ready money you can Sc
cure fine piano without having to
pay profit this side the factories that
made the pianos, and we are even will
ing to sacrifice part of our actual cost
to get the cash.
Every San Francisco home not sup
piled with a first class piano is in
tensely interested in this announce
ment.
Never heretofore has such an offer
been made by a firm of reputation and
standing. Never again, we are sure
will it be duplicated.
The conduct of business on a large
scale has been greatly interfered with
of late. Commencing with 81 days OF
rain during January, our last three
months sales have fallen far below
normal. The result is that we have
too many pianos. and we need money
We need a great deal of money ur-
gently to pay bills and current ex-
penses. We have hundreds and hun
dreds of the finest of new pianos, ano
to realize cash quickly we are going
to accept cost and in many instances
less than cost for them.
The Fifth Floor of our building has
been set aside for this sale. Twenty
three pianos in one portion of the
room are ticketed at $50 each Think
of that, Take your choice of any oi
these instruments for $50 bill.
Another portion of this floor is oc-
cupied by 26 choicest brand new and
highest grade instruments Pianos o1
this kind are usually sold by small
dealers for $3.50. $275 and 5000. We
will take s127 cash for each and every
one of these pianos. Beautiful ma

Rosaline was looking for some one.
Rosaline told him she was a stranger

house. The villain advised the helpless

the ship is coming back to the bay.
