We have discontinued a number of our Southern branches, from the stocks of which many of these instruments have been selected. We have also leased a portion of our store to the well known firm of Witt & Hamill. As a consequence our floors are crowded to their capacity. Instead of storing these pianos to depreciate in value we have priced every instrument af greatly reduced figures and any one contemplating the purchase of a piano in the next few months cannot afford to miss the opportunity. All pianos not sold outright we are anxious to place in the homes of families who are interested in owning a piano in the immediate future, and for the valuable advertising we will receive by having good families use them.
