was the brother of the president of

This was the signal for great
tumult. Erricone, within the cage
leaped to his feet and dashed at the

lawyers, especially Bovio. protested
against what they onsdered an in

president of the court tried to ,quell

You have no idea what 1t means
to put small matter of $3.50 into
one of these instruments unless you
have investigated this method of
plan. Think what 1t means to you
personally, long evenings of homo
pleasures for years to come.
Seven-fifty admits you to club
"B," giving you the privilege OF Sc
leeting $3.50 piano and paying for
1t on easy weekly terms. but mind
you-you don't have to pay $3.50 for
these pianos. ON the club plan of
cooperative buying you pay only
1927. so, making u Clear-Cut saving
of over $3.50 at the very outset.
Is n matter of $3.50 worth men
'tioning in the purchase of plano?
Most every one would say SO, and
you will agree with other members
who have Joined within the past
two weeks that never before have
you seen such money saving oppor-
tunities presented as we are offer
ing right now in these three big
piano clubs.
How Can We DO II.
We will all agree that pianos can
be bought from the factory much
more cheaply than they can be
purchased from the dealer and that
pianos or any other commodity can
be purchased in larger quantities
for far less than IL bought sinEly
and that's the simple secret of the
whole plan.
In combining several hundred
buyers into one club and making
one big deal 1t created purchas-
ing power that can be arrived at
in no other way. Certain conces-
sions In prices and terms are re-
ceived; In fact, can be demanded
These in the aggregate amount to
a quite considerable sum and nat
urally club members get the advant-
age over those who buy independ-
emily.
1t Is the same principle applied
to piano selling that made the
Wanamaker Dictionary clubs so
famous and so successful several
years ago. 1t Is estimated that
through the medium of these Die
tionary clubs the people of this
country We're saved something over
$103,300 simply by buying on the
cooperative plan.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1911-03-09

that, but we are going to make a
