PAGE THR2 PIANOS PLAYER-PIANOS Stephenson-Belk Co, ROCKINGHAM FOS IDISPATCH, RICHMOND COUNTY, N. 0. Darnell & Thomas RALEIGH, N. C. have opened a complete line of Pianos and Player Piano, in the Rockingham Hotel Building. SEL IT FOR LESS A REAL PRICE REDUCTION The long deferred hope of many homes is about to be realized : the hope that some day Piano prices would be back to something like old-time prices. Our sole aim and desire in inaugurating this price reduction on all Pianos and Player Pianos is to reduce our stock down to the lowest notch possible. We are over stocked. We admit it. And we ere willing to sacrifice profit in order to unload. The Piano buyers of this community will be gainers. Every instrument will go at a remarkable saving. The stock, wnile complete and varied, is limited, and our advice to you is to make and early visit to our display room, in order to secure choice selection. CONVENIENT TERMS Come in and let us show ydu. We will take great pleasure in demonstrating o you either Piano or Player-Piano. f A Of Darnell & Thomas Rockmgfom Hotel Building Rockingham, N. C.
