This is the largest piano club ever formed. This is the largest piece of Summer work ever laid out by a piano house. We bought 500 pianos—all of one grade and all from one manufacturer. [There are three styles and each style comes in mahogany, walnut and oak, really making nine styles in all.] 50 Is the price of the Club Piano Table Showing Rebate Feature of the Kohler & Chase Club Contract This table will show just how much less than $277.50 a Club member can get his piano by paying faster than at the rate of $1.25 a week. For every week's time that a Club Mem- ber lessens his contract he is entitled to a reduction of 15 cents from the club price. We bought these pianos cheap. We saved big money in buying them. Many a piano dealer is pay- ing twenty-five to thirty-five dollars more for the same identical pianos. Number of Nutaber of weeks of Amount of Insenned reduction time. from price. And we are selling them cheap. ome one It’s our Summer’s work to sell these pianos. Not our exclasive work, however. Selling these 500 pianos is our Summer task in addition to our regular day to day piano business. To facilitate this work we are forming a gigantic piano club. A piano club of 500 members, each and every of whom will enjoy precisely the same advantages and privileges. Such gigantic work means many economies. It means a saving in the initial cost of the piano. It _ means a saving in the freight, in the cartage, in the selling expense. It means a willingness on our part to take a smaller percentage of profit than we can regularly afford to make---in other words, a Summer profit. So, taking all these things into account, it means an enormous saving to the individ- ual buyer or club member. SEEEEEEEEEEEEET To be exact, it means a clean-cut saving of ninety-seven dollars and fifty cents to each and every member of the club—nearly a hundred dollars—to say nothing of the eRI28252 Sees as o 6. IM your HOME _ other innumerable advantages and privileges the club carries with it that piano buyers BE 3 do not ordinarily get. ite 3: The whole story Press titttitititis ts The regular selling price and actual value of these pianos is $375 each. The Kohler & Chase Club price is $277.50. The club price includes everything. There are no extras of any kind. No interest to be added. Nothing to be added for freight or stool—abso- lutely no extras. Two hundred and seventy-seven dollars and fifty cents is the price, and the price includes 218 weeks’ time in which to pay it. BISSRASSLSSSSSsssescseecsssasssescsssnsslsscssesss 3: = peeetcrrerttrs + <. The club price—$277.50—is payable, $5.00 when you join the club, then weekly pay- ments of $1.25. If you will figure a little you will see that this gives you exactly 218 weeks in which to pay for the plano. Your payments are less than if you would rent a piano. The piano is delivered immediately. You do not have to wait until the club is filled. You get your piano when you join. We said above that $277.50 includes everything. So it does. But a Club Member can reduce this price by paying faster. 6 OA ae OU a EN A VA BE The Club Member’s Agreement has 218 Coupons attached to it—very much like a bond. A Coupon represents a week. Two hundred and eighteen Coupons represent 218 weeks, or the life of the club. Every time a payment is made, one of these Coupons is stamped “paid.” If payments are made in advance—that is, before they are due, a reduction of 15 cents is made for each and every week, and this reduction is handed over to the Club Member in cash. You can therefore see that the Club price ($277.50) can be reduced just as many times 15 cents as you will pay weekly payments in advance or before they are due. The table in the upper right-hand corner will illustrate this feature. Thus, if you will pay one week in advance, you will get a reduction of 15 cents in cash. If you will pay two weeks in advance you will get a reduction of 30 cents in cash, and so on. deeagemerceay If this Club piano is not satisfactory after 30 days’ use, we will give you your money back. It is our belief, however, that a person can not get a I atisfactory trial of any piano, either good or bad, in 30 days. If, though, a thirty days’ tria dissatisfy a Club Member, we will give him his money back. On the other hand, we have arranged a trial for each and every Club piano that will show whether or not this Club piano is worthy of a permanent place in your home. Printed across the face of the contract is an agreement that gives to each and every Club Mem- ber the privilege of exchanging his Club piano, at any time within one (1) year, without one penny’s loss, You join the Club—You then, as a Club Member, become entitled to all its advantages and privileges. One of these privileges is a year’s trial of the piano, In other words—the Club Member has one full year’s time to fully satisfy himself as to the character of the piano he is getting. At the end of the year the club member can come to our store and make another selection. He can se- lect a piano of equal or better grade, and whatever money he has paid, whether it is $40, $50, $60, $100 or whatever the amount, will be credited to the price of his new piano, and we will take the original Club piano back without the loss of a single cent to him. “= KOHLER & CHASE” General Distrfbuters Weber, Knabe, Kohler. & Chase, Vose, Fischer, Steck Pianos, Pianola Piano, Etc.
