TO THE PEOPLE OF ARKANSAS:
1 wish to make plain statement of facts
regarding the affairs of the Hollenberg Music
Company and the deal recently contaminated
whereby the control and absolute ownership
of the company passed into my hands, and
why the extraordinary cut price sale of our
immense stock is made necessary.
In the first place. 1 desire to here person
ally thank every customer and friend of this
house for their patronage and loyalty during
the past years 1t has been the aim and de
sire of this company during its entire exist
to be square and liberal with its pa
trons to deserve their patronage and that of
their friends. The wonderful success and
growth of the company is the best evidence
as to whether have succeeded in our de-
sires and aims.
The Hollenberg Music House was estab
shed in 1853. and has been in active bust
ness ever since. In 1890. when the duties
Of managing the business devolved entirely
upon me. l realized that to insure the posi-
ton of the house at the very front. to make it
the leading music house of the state and
Southwest, to be in position to buy goods
at the lowest spot cash price. to give our
customers the benefit OF large cash pur.
ehases more capital was needed in the bust
ness.
Accordingly, the Hollenberg Music Com
pany. as a corporation, was formed. with my
self as president and manager. in which ca
pacity / have acted ever since. The growth
Of the business has been phenomenal. We
have enjoyed the most liberal patronage of
the people of the state. L attribute this to
strict adherence to the square deal"
plan, the fine makes of instruments we have
always Sold and the low prices we were able
to make through our great purchasing power
After twenty years of successful manage
ment of the company. having made it a sue
cess second to none of it's kind in this broad
land. it has always been my desire, as soon
IS possible, to become the sole owner of the
business. and l am sure the good people of
the state. and all of my well-wishers will
agree With me that this ambition is a natural
and laudable one.
With this end in view. I recently negoti
ated with the other owners of stock in the
company, with whom l have been associated
for twenty years, and the result is 1 am to-
day in absolute possession of the company.
But, be it remembered. the deal involves
many thousands Of doilars-a big deal, an
awful big deal-and need help. l want and
must have cash or its equivalent, and to get
l am going straight to the people, my
friends. and to the friends of this house.
To get cash or it's equivalent am going to
the piano and organ buyers of this state and
propose to make it worth their while to pur-
chase at once. l feel that 1 have earned
the confidence of the people in this house.
AID Am sure they will suickly respond.
We have on hand an immense stock of the
very best makes Of pianos-grands, uprights
and players, as well as square pianos and or.
gans, new and used-and L propose to turn
this stock Into cash or it's equivalent during
the next two weeks, and every buyer will ben.
eft to the extent of 800 to $3.50 on pianos
ana player pianos, and $25 to $50 on organs
In other words, am willing and ready to
swap pianos and organs at factory prices for
cash or its equivalent. To make it palmer.
I am going to raise the necessary amount out
OF the stock on hand by the simple process of
selling the instruments at factory prices.
