It’s a period of oppor- tunity! It is a time when people who have deprived themselves of the advantages and pleasures of music may realize their am- bition to own a high-grade musical instrument. In anticipation of the greatest business in our history, we have lowered our prices consid- erably. We have sacrificed most of our fair profit on 50 fine player-pianos. The terms are unusually low. These specially priced instruments are of un- usual quality. Each has been carefully select- ed for beauty in veneers—for its rich tone and splendid touch. The Victorian Style Player-Piano PLAYER-PIANOS N JORDAN QUALITY, 35 If you ever intend to own a player-piano, now is the tfme to buy. This is the most extreme value we ever hope to offer. When the 50 instruments have been sold, your opportunity will have passed. There is no need to urge you to come in and see these remarkable values.
