age caused by the FIRE on Main street

field, Illinois, and was, likewise, un-

CHRISTMAS PIANO OFFERING

This is the best offer ever made at Christmas
time. 1t provides lower prices-stronger guaran-
tees-fner observation-disclosures savings-and all
round advantages excelling anything we have
ever known. It is by far the most favorable oppOr-
tunity to make this a Piano Christmas likely to
appear. BUT 1T IS LIMITED.
We expect this Offering to continue in force for
about two weeks. The instruments were secured
to sell at the present unusual prices through CO.
operation with the manufacturers The sacrifice
made in selling at the prices elsewhere quoted is
large. It cannot be continued indefinitely.
This is. therefore, an opportunity which must
be acted upon at once. 1t will not be open more
than a few days more. 1t will probably not be
repeated in years.
