The Greatest Distribution of Highest Grade New Pianos
Ever Undertaken in So Short Time

! Other makes go for s167 and s172:
$1sS will secure strictly highest
grade piano which many dealers
would consider simply dirt cheap at
$25s; usually such instruments are
sold by them for 1925.
Ask particularly to see the mag
nificent s475 orchestral grand upright
pianos OF rldrenowned make.
which can be obtained during this
surplus sale for $3s7; $4O0 styles will
cost now only $274, and palmer
cases, same make, same high class
interior, only S255.
WE SOLICIT CAREFUL INvESTI-
CATION.
But after all, price really signifies
very little unless you see the piano.
1t is next to impossible to convey an
impression of actual merit and in
trinsic value in an advertisement of
price. Some pianos are expensive at
$13s, others cheap at s45e. But when
we can prove that many have paid
S275 to other dealers for instrum ents
such as we are now selling for $13s.
and that pianos such as we are now
offering for less than $45e would
cost a clean $2ee more elsewhere,
the important and true meaning of
this opportunity will be appreciated
and should not be overlooked.
Nearly all of the makes of pianos
that we sell have been sold up to re-
Gently by other California concerns.
hence our statement as to value can
be very readily verified.
Eight-dollar payments a month
class pianos. and the less expensive
styles go for $6 and IS month,
though pianos costing over $500 in
this sale will not be sold for less
than s1e month.
Bear in mind, too, that the Eilers
stores guarantee price as well as
quality. 1t is distinctly agreed that
all money paid will be refunded If
purchase after delivery is not found
exactly as represented and in every
way satisfactory.
WE HAVE OVER $4,000 CUSTOMERS
Over $4,000 people along the Pa
cific Coast, the best families in the
the Eilers stores during the past ten
years. Those who have dealt with
us are our references and our best
advertisements.
sale closes. We have no time to lose.
Let us repeat, no cash payment is
necessary The certificate will be
taken at it's face value as a first
payment.
Remember. this sale begins this
morning at $50.
II you have no piano. come at once.
We have been able in the past to
present many money-saving opp0r-
tunity to those prepared to buy
quickly. but never heretofore has a
combination of circumstances made
possible so liberal a proposition as
this is; never have prices been made
so low and terms of ownership so
attractive! We are sure such an op-
portunity will never be presented
again

NAMING STREETS NEED
NOT DELAY IMPROVEMENT
City Attorney Gives Opinion to
Works Board

The board of works may go right
ahead with all jobs concerned with
streets whose names have been recently
changed by the board of supervisors
without doubling back to repass resolu-
tions. The city attorney advised the
board yesterday and the city engineer
that future resolutions concerning work
now under way should use both the old
and the new names, and that in work
originating from this time on the new
names alone would suffice.

The Why OF IT
And THE HOW!

We're facing a big problem. Pianos
intended for December selling and
which would have been used by us
to magnificent advantage then, were
delayed on account of railroad
strikes. These are now arriving. Our
big 975 Market Street Building and
our Eilers Music Building at Oakland
are filled to overfowing. We have
had to store four carloads in our
Fifth Street warehouse, and fully
that many more are being stored for
US at the Hibberds Warehouse. Still
more are coming. 1t is an unusual
situation, but one that could not
have been avoided.
We take our annual inventory jan
uary 31st- Before then we are de-
termined to find homes for most of
these pianos. No sane man would
undertake to sell so many pianos
within three weeks at regular retail
prices. 1t couldn't be done 1t would
be a ridiculous waste of effort and
money to try it.
The past year has been a prosper
Gus one for the Eilers Piano Houses
We feel that even if these four hun
dred pianos are sold without profit
our showing will be very satisfac-
tory, and knowing that only the
most unprecedented reduction in price
will dispose of so large a number of
pianos quickly, we have determined
to close out these pianos in a great
wholesale cost sale.
Even then, we know that many
are not prepared to pay for a piano
on the spur of the moment. To these
we say, select your piano now, have
it sent home and pay us as best suits
your convenience.
INDUCEMENTS UNPRECEDENTED.
Thus we're making inducements
simply unprecedented!
But while profit making is entirely
out of question, we are going to
try at least to secure in this sale
some definite and valuable informa-
tion.

ness is of vital Importance. A piano

Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-23
THIRTY YEAR CHANCE

"The people of California have wait
ed thirty years for this chance to rid
themselves Of the domination in their
state government OF the political bu-
reau of a great railroad corporation.
1t is the first time they have a cam
didate for governor, able and fearless,
making the fight on the one great
issue in this state before which all
others pale into insignidcance. Until
the Southern Pacific political machine
has been rendered ineffective in our
state government as it has been in the
government Of the city of Los Angeles
other reforms are not possible in state
affairs.
IF the people Of California want
such reforms as revision of our Grim
inal procedure direct, statewide cleo
tion of United States senators, d non
partisan judiciary, civil service reform
in state and county offices, direct legis-
lation in state and county affairs and
general honesty and economy IN gov
ernment administered in the interest
of taxpayers, they have the opportunity
this year of electing men to office who
can be depended upon to put into ef-
feet those and other greatly needed re-
forms.
This is the first real opportunity the
citizens Of California have had to re-
deem the state from political bondage.
To doubt that they will avail them
selves of it is to doubt their intelli-
gence and patriotism.
"I found considerable criticism man
ifested in San Francisco among Ma
tive Sons of the Golden West concern
ing a circular letter that had been
mailed to Native Sons throughout the
state, addressing them as such, signed
by Herman c. Lichtenberger, in behalf
of the candidacy of Mr.. Meserve for
United States senator. In the first
place, this is criticised because it is
contrary to the tenets of the n. S. G..
w. to attempt to use the order polite
ally, which is palpably being done in
this case; and in the second place, 1t is
especially inappropriate, as coming
from Mr.. Lichtenberger, because he
happens to be at the present time the
grand first vice president Of the order
and under ordinary circumstances
would be in direct line of succession
for grand president. Quite number OF
prominent Native Sons in San Fran
cisco spoke to me about this matter,
unsolicited, expressing surprise and in
dignation. The fact that Mr.. Lichten-
berger is Mr.. Meserye's paid office
manager does not help matters so far
as the candidate himself is concerned"
