Kitt, Secretary-Treasurer G Street at Thirteenth Real money’s worth in a player-piano Bacon was an honored name in the piano industry when our great-grandfathers were fighting Indians and blazing paths through primitive forests. A Bacon instrument carries with it the glory and prestige of a hundred years of accomplishment and achievement. This is the instrument offered y o u today ! We are offering genuine Francis Bacons in this sale at ten dollars down—or three dollars per week on our Three-Year- Payment Plan. Butin ourmind the money inducement—great as it is — is secondary to the reputation and character always associated with the name of Bacon. This is a prize at any price Frankly—we know of no better player in its class than the sturdy, reputable, We can vouch for it in every particular. It is a musi- cal masterpiece—built by master craftsmen in a most masterly manner. reliable Francis Bacon. In order to get these popular players at this time in sufficient numbers for the - purpose, we had practically to pledge our word to the makers that we could sell them—so our business judgment is at stake in this event. We assured the Bacon Piauo Company in January last that we could dispose of a certain number of instruments—mostly players—in September. We had to do this—else they would not have agreed to ship the instruments. Were we right—or wrong? Judging from the number of visitors—and buy- ers—in this store the past few days, we think we know the answer. There is no doubt about it—a lot of this patter about “buyers’ strikes” and “money stringency” is pure piffle. The people who know this store and its standards are very sure that any offer- ing of this sort sponsored by us is real and genuine. Of course, they are buy- ing—and buying fast.
