At the outset of this Emergency Piano Sale, the D. 8. Johnston Co. stated in a straight-from-the-shou! business-like manner that we compelled to sell Pianos and lots of them jained how the falling off business in the east resulted in virtually every plano manufacturer, particularly of the highest grade instruments, becom Ing overstocked. We told how these overstocked manufacturers, eager to market their instruments, virtually cut the prices in two, provided we would contract to take a sufficient nua ber of plagos off their hands. The high standing of the pianos (all well known jablished makes) the tremendous saving we ef. fected, which in turn would en- able us to offer the planos at greatly sacrificed prices—was too tempting for the D. S. Johnston Co. to turn down To be brief, we contracted to take eighteen yads, approximately three hundreds pianos, all told off their hands provided they pass ed the rigid Inspection and re quirements of buying expert in the east was a tremendous undertak ing. But at the prices we are able to offer all these strictly brand new highest grade instruments we figured that all these extra pianos could be disposed of readily That we have not made a mis take, and that this opportunity ts all we claim, can be seen by stm ply glancing at one day's sales rec ord Think of it—twenty-five pianos and organs—over $8,000 in musical instruments snapped up in a single day HERE'S WHERE THEY WENT.
