PIANOS.

We move out of the store at IS
Church Street and into our own build
ing the first of April. The expense of
operating a large piano store, same as
we have always conducted, is about
$4,000 year. Necessarily, this means
good round prices for pianos. In the
future we are going to sell pianos at
prices that will make people sit up and
take notice. We are not going to en-
ploy an army of statesmen at large sal
aries and large expense accounts.
Therefore, during the month Of January
we will sell you an Emerson piano, new,
direct from the factory if you wish,
which we have always sold for $3.50, for
1926 on terms of $40 down and So per
month. There will be no excuse for
your paying high prices in the future.
We want the best quality of business
there is to be had in the State of YER
mont, No S. or Sc payments. Nothing
less than So per month, and our prices
are going to bring this class of trade.
If you are going to buy piano send to
US for the Emerson catalogue showing
you this style which can be had in either
mahogany or walnut. GEO. D. JARVIS
