Why We Do 1t

The states of Washington and
Idaho are just now witnessing a
most phenomenal growth. Thous-
ands of families are coming here
each year to make their homes in
this section.
We want every one Of them to be-
come familiar with the House Of
Eilers, to knows Of it's progressive
methods, it's pianos and it's money
saving facilities to the buyer, just
as people who have lived here for
many years already know them.
We want every resident of the
states of Washington and Idaho to
fully realize the magnitude of the
business done by the Eilers Houses,
which have grown in ten years from
one small store to forty-from the
sale of few hundred pianos to
many thousands each year.
No business could grow to these
wonderful proportions without good
reason. The ever increasing patron
age of the Eilers stores would have
been impossible without the thor
ough confidence of the people, gain
ed by the most progressive, straight
forward and liberal treatment of
every patron of the house.
equality" has ever Ibeen our
watchword; it has always been our
aim to give more value to the piano
buyer than any other dealer could.
How we'll we have succeeded is best
told by the tens of thousands of sat-
isfied patrons who are today enjoy
ing in their homes AM instrument
purchased at some Eilers store.

Good Advertising

Over 40 pianos and other musical
instruments have been given away
by us in the past as a means Of at
tracing attention to our House and
its methods of business. The list
and addresses of these winners will
gladly be furnished upon applica-
ton.
This present friendly contest, we
believe, is the most interesting we
have ever undertaken. We hope it
will be the means of bringing our
House and the Pianos we sell to the
attention of a large number Of new
residents.
This is a competition that is open
to every one-the doctor, the law
yer, the merchant, the laboring man,
the schoolboy or girl-each has an
equal chance.
Furthermore, we are particularly
anxious that the people of this state
become thoroughly familiar with
the Eilers Piano, which is made I'M
der our own supervision, especially
with view to overcoming the I'M
usual climatic conditions of the Pa
cific coast. Only the choicest noun
tain-grown Pacific Coast spruce is
used in the Eilers Sound Boards,
which are themselves an innovation
and decided improvement over
those found in other pianos. The
Eilers improved, damp proof, brass
flange repeating action is also in
stalled in every piano bearing the
Eilers name.

ENLARGE PALACE STORE.

An increased demand for floor
space will cause the Palace depart
ment store to finish the two upper
stories of its building at Main and
Post on the INTERIOR the near fu-
ture, and number of new depart

be started at once and will cost
several thousand dollars. Several
new details are now being worked
out and it is probable that pack

The topic before the congress
this morning was Irrigation by
Private Enterprise"
F. c. Goudy of Denver, former
president of the congress, and
George E. Barstow, of Texas, also
former president of the congress,
were the principal speakers.
Goudy opened by describing the
growth of irrigation in the west
from the small rude bitches of the
farmer to the time when the gov
eminent began lending its aid to
the agriculturist. He described the
formation of irrigation corpora
tons, particularly in Colorado; of
the work of those companies,
through designing organizers,
through lack of able agents, and
holly scored the water pirates
who file water claims to prevent
bonafide enterprises from using
streams except at eXOrbitant prices.
