a Carload Of $3.50 InStru-
mentS at $257.5O
TO SELL 200 PIANOS ON
FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY

Robelen Piano Company, OF No. no
Market street, will celebrate the be-
ginning of its fortieth year in busi-
ness. It is a long and honorable
record, that of the Robelen Piano
Company, and the house established
forty years ago has grown and
developed into the present large bust
ness whose field covers the territory
of Delaware, Maryland and part Of
Pennsylvania.
1t is hut natural that the company
should desire to do something head
and shoulders above what It has been
doing all these forty years because
of the anniversary. II is going to
do something, too, that should inter-
est every Delawarean. The COM
pany has decided to form the Robelen
Anniversary Piano Club, to be com
/ posed of 200 members TO participate
in the greatest piano deal ever made
/ in the piano business in this city or
elsewhere. IL is business move
| that will command the attention OF
the public, and doubtless will result
in at least two hundred pianos being
placed In homes that have no such
musical instrument, or to replace
instruments already in many homes.
The Robelen Company proposes to
sell two hundred pianos of the high
est class and quality at surprisingly
low prices and at terms that will
work no hardship upon the pur-
chaser. Many will wonder how 1t
can be done, but the Robelen Com
pany with its progressive methods
has found the way and the public is
to reap the advantage. The Robelen
Company at the outset has bought a
carload of pianos.
The deal is straight out purchase
Of 200 pianos. The instruments are
of most reliable and trustworthy
character-a good, substantial piano,
in which the real value is put on the
inside, rather than i'm fancy cases
with a whole lot of Jim Cracks" on
them. The company has handled
the piano for a dozen or more years,
and know it to be as reliable a piano
as was ever put in a home. 1t is
made by good, sturdy German labor
in one of the best manufactures in
the world, by men, many of whom
have been working in the same shop
for twenty or twenty-five years.
The value of each of these pianos
is $780, Hundreds of these same
instruments have been sold right here
In Delaware and adjoining States at
$3.50. Hundreds more being sold
every month all over the United
/ States at $3.50. They are worth $3.50.
The Robelen Club price is $257.50.
The price includes everything. There
are no extras of any kind; no interest
to be added; nothing to be added for
drayage, freight or stool.
