Teachers are busy already. Piano sales are enormous. Have you selected a piano out of our brand new fall stock? If not, you cannot afford to delay longer. Believing this fall will be a record-breaker in Nebraska for the sale of pianos, we have taken the precaution to make immense contracts with the several world-renowned piano makers whose products we market. IVERS & POND, LINDE- gvggm SMITH & BARNES, BOARDMAN & GRAY, MAN, STARR, and other recognized musical favorites. Pianos will be so]d on the $5.00 monthly payment plan, and best of all, on a strictly one price basis. This takes away the risk of buying, as it necessitates the proper grading and the lowest possible price. We guarantee you satisfaction or money refunded. NEW PIANOS FOR RENT—One year’s rental allowed if purchased. Rent applies on any piano we carry in stock. This, ‘too, on the one price system—impossible to take advantage of the amount paid.
