When we wentito the manufacturers, : And told them we wanted to make'a REAL BARGIN SALE at the Head of the Lakes,'they smiled. When we said-we would pay cash for the Pianos we selected, they stopped. They accepted our offer. This was just after the Holiday trade was over, and the time to buy Pianos low. We now have the Pianos in our large WHOLESALE and RETAIL STORE and propose to give you the benefit of the big discount. When we show you that we can take off one-third from the prices that other dealers ask you for the same grade of Pianos you will see what a bonanza we struck and we propose to share it with you. A greater stock to select from than ever offered be- fore at the head of the lakes. “Duluth Mus}. 0, . pati E. G. CHAPMAN, Maer Cor.
