Copyright. 10914, The Autopiano Co. \ INAUGURATING this sale, The Autopiano Co. realized that, to sell pianos while the public was absorbed in war news, prices would have to be made lower than ever before and payments would have to be made easier than ever before. : And this they did. Today in sixteen different sections of the country; through sixteen repre- sentative houses in those sections, 5000 families have the unprecedented opportunity to procure as dependable a piano as ever was made for 266 dollars—an actual SAVING of 84 dollars each. Those 5000 families can come into these 16 different stores, of which this is one, and for only a round, silver dollar or a single one dollar bill, have the piano of their choice delivered, immediately, to their homes. prices---easier Copyright, xnu,"nze Autepiano Ce. What is more, they are then given 3 years and 8 months time in which to pay . the balance of 265 dollars—their first year’s payments being but one dollar a week. Your entire payments the first year, including your first or initial cash pay- ment, amounts to but 53 dollars. When first discussing the plan for this remarkable sale, Mr. Lawrence, President of The Autopiano Co. said: “Let us not give any one an excuse for not buying, that they cannot afford it on account of not being able to meet the payments. Let us mfife so many inducements and make them so big, that the people will simply be standing in their own light not to buy.” 2! That spirit so completely dominates this big enterprise, that you will indeed be negligent in your own interests, if you do not take instant advantage of its-many sided opportunities. $1 a week Below you will find a table which shows how the paymenfi are to be made. ‘The piano you buy is'a 350 value. It costs you but 286 dollars. You save right there, 84 dollars. . You pay only one-dollar when you make; your purchase. The balanée,‘ -265 dollars, may be paid in weekly payments running over a period of 3 years and 8 months, if you want that length of time, without having to pay ome cent of interest or extras under any other name. y% After that, your bayments are increased to one dollar and 25 cents a week during the second year, and one dollar and 50 cents a week during the third year. Your payments are only one dollar a week for the first year. This leaves 40 weeks during the fourth year. Your payments are then only one dollar and 75 cents a week. . Do you realize how little these payments are and what they mean to you? Bven during the last 40 weeks, when your payments are at their highest, they amount to but one dollar and 75 cents a week. : These payments have been purposely ‘‘strung out” this way, so that they will become an inducement for you to buy NOW, rather than put it off until later, when everybody is feeling good, and the prices on these pianos have gone back to where they were. ¢ : The man who has even only a most remste idea of giving his family a piano, is bhn@ to his interest who does not come in immediately and select one of these spleadid instruments, Schedule of payments on pianos Your 1st year's payments will be $1.00 a week for 52 weeks Your 2d year"s payments will be 1.25 a week for 52 weeks. 65.00 Your 34 year's payments will be 1.50 a week for 52 weeks. 78.00 Your 4th year’s payments will be 1.75 a week for 40 weeks. ..., 70.00 $2656.00 During this sale, the Piano Depart- will be opened of evenings by arrangements for which msy be made by callug phone No. 1093.3, ~ i . The real feature of the sale is the proposition on player-pianos The player-pianos in this sale are the biggest values ever offered. They are of a grade which sells for at least 550 dollars, everywhere. places, they bring as high as 600 dollars. Two thousand of them—of which number we have 150—will be distributed into the best homes in the United States, at 413 dollars each. Thé purchaser of one of these splendid instruments saves 137 dolfars. The combined purchasers of these 2000 playet-pia.nos‘will, save the enormeus total of 274 thousand dollars. The 150 purchasers in our own community, who are fortunate enough to get these beautiful players, will save 20 thousand 550 dollars—can you grasp what these figures mean? 2 . . But this big saving is not am. . These player-pianos will be delivered into these homes, upon the payment of one single dollar. : Moreover, we are instructed by The Autopiano Co. that, if after a2 30 days’ trial, these player-pianos are not satisfactory to the purchaser, to refund that dol- lar, together with all other money that may have been paid during the 30 days' period. After a player-piano has been delivered, you may take 3 years and 8 months time in which to make your payments, if you want that length of time—just the same as you may take on the piano. This brings your first year’s payments down to only one dollar and 75 cents a week; the second year’s payments to 2 dollars a week, and so on. It isno wonder that Mr. Lawrence of The:Autopiano Co. said of the merchants upon their leaving his office: “They were a lot of the most optimistic business men I ever saw.” In orany 'S Such enormous savings; such liberality in terms and such fair and sguare conditions of sale, inspire optimism. > And those who have had a place picked out in their home for a beau@iul player-piano, should take advantage of such an unusual opportunity, immediately.

B, Brandegee, speaking in Torrington Wednesday night, was very certain of a republican victory in the state. In concluding his ad- dress, he said: From every quarter of the stafe comes news of encouragement. The | republican party has not been so har- monlous for years. We have subor- dinated every element of discord. We represent a united front. We are con- scious that we present the policies which are best for our grand old state. Our ranks will be swelled from many other parties who yearn for the good . old days of republican prosperity. We understand that this election is the | preliminary skirmish for the great _ idential election two years hence.’ e propose to put Connecticut in the” republican column this year and keep it there in the next presidential elec- Everywhere the signs are evi- dent and conspicuous that this is a republican year. We have been wan- dering ‘n the democratic desert and subsisting on thorns and thistles, and we are about to return to the Prom- ised Land flowing with milk and® homey. Every republican voter must be made and every republican voter must come to the polls. He owes it to himself. his party, the state and the country. If those who think with us will come to the polls and vote with us, election day on the third of No- vember will show us a grand repub- lican victory! - TO ATTEND MEETING OF STATE INDIAN ASSOCIATION Norwich Members Will Go to Hartford on the 20th, ’ Several members of the Norwich In- diap association are planning to attend the annual state meeting at the Cen- ter church bouse in Hartford on Tues- day next, October 20th.
