People in cities come in and pay SlO down and keep the piano month or two and send it back to the dealer who has to clean it up and scrape the keys to sell it again and it finally is sold to some out of town customer. Let me mention right here, that every Piano you get from me comes right out of the factory as bright as dollar with only one small profit added-you take the piano in your home and put it right beside any Piano you may think of buying and if you don't think you are saving a hundred dollars, I'll take it out.
 If you wish to keep it you may have three years to pay. Read my special introductory offer in this advertisement. I won't repeat it, I have cut the price on three pianos for advertising purposes only and when they are sold I withdraw this offer 1 know you think this is merely talking !point, but for one time you are wrong.

OFFICIAL MISSING TWO WEEKS
Takes Family Away on Pretext of Going on Visit-Leaves Household Furniture and 100 Bushels of
 Coal to Satisfy Creditors.

Holstein, Mo, Oct 24.-H. M. Smith, missing cashier of the Holstein State bank, in which a $7,535 short age has been reported by a deputy state bank examiner, obtained his leave of absence" on the declaration he wanted to take his family to St. Louis to see the Yelled Prophets pa rade and attend the V. P. ball at the Coliseum. He has not been seen at Holstein since October '.
 Smith left Holstein exactly forty days after the bank opened it's doors for business.
 Smith formerly resided at Overland Park, St. Louis county.
 Funds Are Withdrawn.
 Three thousand dollars of the miss ing money was supposed to be in the Holstein bank, and $4,500 had been deposited in the Third National bank and in the Commonwealth Trust com. pany in St. Louis. This has been with. drawn.
 State Bank Examiner Swanger was notified and sent Inspector w. B.. Shanks to investigate.
 The certificate for ten shares of stock that Smith owned was found, and this, together with his household furniture and 100 bushels of coal, was all the property belonging to the missing cashier that could be discov- cred
 At meeting of the stockholders an assessment of 30 per cent was levied ou the stock. The money will be paid at once, making up the shortage.
 Smith was bonded for $5,OOO by the National Surety company of St. Louis.
 The action of the directors in promptly making good the shortage is entirely satisfactory to State Bank Examiner Swanger, and the institu- tion, which is solvent and doing a good business, will Do continued as usual. The loss will be borne by the

In my experience selling Pianos over territory of something over Three Thousand Miles, I have been impressed with the fact that Pianos were sold too high-there were too many people to be paid before the sale was made.
 I have always believed if a man would take first-class Piano and sell it right from the factory without so many extras added, he would get good class of business. I wouldn't insult your in tellect by offering you the common bait, so long practiced, as for instance brand new Piano Over strung Bull More-Price $143.00. That's an insult to you. In the first place any dealer can offer piano at tbat price and make money on it, but he knows as you will it isn't worth hauling home. Most any of them are too honest to want sell you piano of that class ard when you come in will try to sell you a S350 or $40O piano.
