Our Annual Holiday Sale of Fine Pianos and Player-Pianos is of Parti
cular Interest to the Music-Loving Economical Person
It is Not Necessary to Pay Any Money Down
You Can Have 30 Days Free Trial
Richmond and the South
Have long ago recognized (.'rafts'
values. Nowhere can yon buy better
Pianos than those which we srll, be
cause there are no better ones. No
where are the prices^ lower. because
our prices are the lowest. Nowhere
%vi!l you find Pianos which are built
more conscientiously than the Crafts,
because the Crafts is made by expert
piano builders in one of the largest
and best equipped piano factories in
the world, for the makers of the Crafts
instruments have been awarded high
est awards in Cincinnati in 18S0; in
Chicago in 1893. Nashville 181)7, St.
Louis 1904, Seattle 1909. Knoxville
1913. and others.
You will find in the Crafts an ideal
instrument, because of its responsive
action, its delightful tone and its artis
tic case. The CKAFTS CABINET
GRAM) PIANO is an instrument that
appeals to the cultured. Those who
know most about Pianos and music in
general will prefer the Crafts because
it is a Piano which will respond to
your every mood. As has often been
remarked iU these factory warerooms
by prospective purchasers, "I had no
idea that the Crafts was such a mag
nificent instrument.'' You, too, will
say this when you visit these factory
warerooms. We have on display the
very latest models in a variety of
woods and finishes. ("HAFTS CABI
NET UltAM) PIANOS are now dis
played in all the various models, and
,it will be to your interest to visit us
before definitely concluding on the
'purchase of a Piano or Player-Piano.
Long ago we announced, and now re
peat, our reason for oneyof our slo
gans: It is in appreciation of the very
liberal patronage accorded us by the
people in the South, and particularly
by musical Richnionders that we
adopted the slogan
?li^ v n/
Mail Orders Receive
Mr. Crafts' Personal
/
Attention
"Talk With Crafts"
is ?i slogan that you recognize as one
you hu ve seen sine*' boyhood days.
The younger Richmonders will recall
having first seen this . logan when
children, it's significant (hat since its
adoption thousands have had a "Talk
With Crafts." It has proven profita
ble and pleasant. Profitable, because
the Piano was secured at a reasonable
price and on liberal terms: and pleas
ant. because the Piano lias brought
sunshine into the homo, as well as
permanent pleasure, because each
( HAFTS CABINKT U RAM) IMANO
cai rics with it the strongest kind of a
guarantee, which covers the entire life
of the instrument. So strong, so bind
ing is the guarantee which we offer
with each Crafts instrument that we
are willing for you to write one?we'll
sign it ? if you feel that it will protect
you better than the one which we
offer.
Here you have the opportunity of
dealing direct, eliminating the "out
side agent." We employ no agents.
We have no outside salesmen. We
employ no collectors. Our very loca
tion saves you money. In these days
of "high cost of living ' you owe it to
yourself to "TALK WITH CRAFTS."
It is not lfecessary. if inconvenient, to
pay any money down when buying a
Piano here. Our payments are exceed
