I WILL POSITIVELY- ==
Save You Much Money on
PIANOS
And make terms to suit your convenience. I sell high-grade Pianos, prize
winners at all of the great expositions. I do not haul Pianos
around, peddle them, and leave them on trial. My
companies are reliable and are able to
Make Good Every Piano,
This peddling of Pianos is very expensive and the purchaser pays the expense
every time. It is btrange that sensible people will buy that way.
Don't you know if you have a Piano ordered direct
from the factoryj it can be sold on a
shorter profit? It's injurious to
Pull and Haul Pianos
About. It loosens them and in a short time they will be "broken down." You
can't do better anywhere. 1 can sell NLW UPRIGHT PIANOS
From $150 to $750
I can show you many makes of Player Pianos, and will give you the lowest
prices and satifactory terms. Let me save you money.
