The Greatest PIANO Sale On Record An unusual amount of rent- ing and exchanging business, combined with the issuing of new catalogues by nearly all the piano makers whose intruments we represent, makes it Absolutely Necessary for us to dispose of nearly one hundred pianos falling under the classes known as “Odd- Style New Pianos,” “Slight‘l{y Used Pianos,” and ‘“‘Second- Hand Pianos.” Several sales- rooms are filled with the pianos included in this sale, and each and every instrument has been marked at a Very Decided Reduction It is well to remember that all these pianos are fully guar- anteed, and that many of the slightly used class would pass for entirely new. Also note that the styles sold at olearing sale prices, because of being dropped from new catalogues, are, without exception, modern and handsome, and, while not the equal of the latest 1916- style casings shown by us, are equal and even superior to the usual upright designs exhibited elsewhere.
