Listen to the Piano
Men Squeal

oh thou image of goodness. oh thoI
great of greatness. oh thou pure of
purity. This is our opinion Of the good
piano man that put such a nice piece
Of reading matter i'm yesterdays Even
ing journal The people o! Houghton
Co. ought To admire such hero VINO
comes To their aid so quickly. But il
this good act for the bercdt of the
people or the selfish firm from whence
IL came. This little hero boy came out
in print and gave the people then
warning. Why doesn't this little hero
boy go down to Escanaba whore his
own firm is selling 10000 Boardmar
d GRAY piano for s2i and hey are
then ii YOU don't like II YOU can send
Il back ard if you do all you have to
pay is s1.o0 "A week. Great isn't IL?
And IL YOU don't like this particular
piano they have another on by the
name of Bauer & Son this piano is Il
$500 piano for $50. ami they are selling
ii at tho same terms, years frec tia!
and 81 week thereafter.
Then better than all they have a
genuine !. Il. Hale. This piano IS
worth $3.50, but at the present sale ii
is only $40. on the Same terms. OF
course nobody-has Ciudgine from the!s
side) a right to do this but this great
house. You see they have lots -
stores all over Michigan, YOU gee that's
why. They buy lots of pianos (wher
the manufacturers get n lot nobody
else wants. all at one time, probably
forty or fifty, there may be more or
less. This is great house, no doubt.
"a stores all in Michigan. Think of t.
They have n bunch of salesmen dt
these stores that draw nice salaries
that they have To pay making their
selling expense near 800. that's VIII!
comes along that they think isn't just
right they come riSht out in the paper
daily paper. and let everybody thst
reads that paper know about it, and
tell them right where to go to pay
more for piano OF less value. IL rs
lANO Obu we tOil B'SStSo in''t I'VE
sary qualities. II We did we would get
a lot more money for our pianos AM
wouldn't have to give a whole years
free music lessons to get them to buy
here. We could save all that money
and put IL in our own pocket.
fiae we been such good mathcma
ticisns and could have figured out
lust where we stood ard saved some
more money and solo IL fer S275. IN
stead of S9S. and we wouldn't have
had tc give years music lessons
either.
But one good consolation, we are
selling pianos. yes. lois Of en- and ",
are going to keep 1t up, still giving q
years free music and giving the peo-
pie more for their morey than any
house i'm Michigan. We are not greedy
we are satisfied with a small amoui.l
of profit and we are not going to mold
any one up. regardless of what any
body says.
| The name Of the real originator Ci
that great piece OF reading matte" vii
lprobably never he divulged. but In cast
we should learn the little hero's name
| we intend to send him check for Gis
services as the ad was worth more t.
us than ANYBODY else. and If we dom
get big fat profit on each piano. ",
| are very generous and like 10 share
our part.
| Probably while this little hero was
doing his little heroic act we wer,
selling one OF our pianos and tradine II
nearly new Stenway on same. ] tel
you. there is nothing like keeping youl
nose out of other peoples busine IS
and saw wood and say nothing When
you see the other fellow has the best
of you. Had. this hero kept his nose
out of the limelght and said nothing
their methods wouldn't have been ex-
| posed hnd he would be thought more oi
than he Is now. for the majority OF
people know when fellow begins
knocking he Is q back number and
things are coming very SLOW.
In conclusion we wish To- again pub
iicly thank this little hero and II he
will keep his good work NJ we wills
mail him monthly check for his gocd
services, which are so valuable To Us
But we are selling the same high grade
pianos ~ the prices and terms. and
the years free music lessons you get
whether YOU buy our si7 piano or
$4,000. We khow after all that we
have reputation for fair and hon 81
DEALINGS, which his feeble attempt to
shatter will not affect
