WINNER OF PRIZE
The prize winning article, for a prize
of |5, on the advertisements displayed
by the merchants of Birmingham at the
Alabama State Fair, was won by Mrs.
N. Cornelius, 1410 North Twenty-fourth
street. It follows:
“As the visitor to the woman's depart
ment of the Alabama State Fair lets
bis eye wander from panel to panel of
the scenic advertising scheme, he real
izes that they are ahl ‘business getters.’
Splendidly designed and executed, they
sot forth in a most attractive way the
wares of the various merchants for
whom they were made.
“If one were forced to choose, one as\
being best of all, I think perhaps that
of the Cable-Shelby-Burton Piano com
pany would come first. Besides a grace
ful design, done in gold, and the firm
name done in black, it shows a piano—
that treasure desired by every home
making woman, whether she be a gifted
musician or not. One of the world’s
greatest musicians lias recently said that
even a vfery little knowledge of music
is a great deal better than no knowl
edge at all, and even this, small though
it be, will give its possessor many hours
of pleasure and delight. Bearing this
in mind, the woman who does not own
a piano is impelled, when she sees this
attractive panel, to look this firm up and
see if there is not some plan whereby
she can acquire one.
"The prominent and progressive mer
chants represented in the scenic adver
tising scheme this year are to be con
gratulated. and it is to be hoped that
many others will follow' in their loot
steps another year."
Galloway Slightly Injured
E. G. Galloway was struck by a street
car at the entrance of the fair grounds
yesterday morning and severely bruised.
The accident occurred as Mr, Galloway
alighted from one street car and stepping
behind it he was struck a glancing blow
by another car passjng by. Bhaw’s^am
bulance nynoved Mr. Galloway to the St.
Vincent hospital where it was stated that
the injuries were of a slight nature.

DOES NOT GET US.
Has given the people of seven states and now offers the
greatest, most indisputable, convincing values ever
known or heard of in the history of the piano trade in
the south or elsewhere. This sale is phenomenal—car
loads of our holiday goods, contracted for months ahead,
are going so fast at the Card Inventory Prices we are
making that customers have needed no argument or talk
to convince them of the saving in this golden opportunity
of $50.00, $100.00, $150.00, even $200.00, in the purchase
of pianos of world-wide reputation and fixed value.
We cannot advertise any bargain that will injure the
n^me or reputation of any maker of high grade pianos
or any dealer in this class of goods, but we cannot wait
for the combine axe to fall and cut us out of agencies for
pianos we have spent a lifetime advertising and building
up a fxed fair price and reputation on, so we save our loss
by the great increase of'sales—the lessening of expense
and cut price on Inventory to fit your pocket and still
give you what you will have, a good piano of a good make
at Inventory Price. Not a single cheap, shoddy piano has
been secured for this sale. We have and are taking our
great stock of over $200,000.00 of merchandise and giv
ing it to the people of seven states at prices heretofore
impossible, but every day we are getting new pianos to
take care of our contracts with manufacturer and to sup
ply special orders in and out of town. All of our stores
are doing phenomenal business—all lines of territory
are leveled and each house is doing its share to supply
the demand, reduce stock, and take its portion of the
goods contracted for. And just look at the list of goods
—pianos, players, organs, orchestions—we still con
trol sale of and will up to the very hour when the sword
shall fall and a great trust of piano dealers, manufactur
ers and bankers take over the bulk of the trade and most
of the agencies we now have. You have your choice—
our choice is forced and we must sell these great stocks of

began our great convincing argument as to our un
precedented offers by starting a great $30,000.00 auction
sale at another location, where 10 truck loads have been
taken for display at 220# Second Avenue, but to reach
you even more readily this great $50,000.00 stock of
“slightly used,” “taken in trade,” “second hand,”
“rented,” returned by schools, colleges* etc., embracing
all of our well known makes and almost every other
