For the past three weeks great preparations have been under way at the National Piano Manufactur ers new Seaitle store, 823 3rd Ave. opposite the Central building, for the great opening exhibition of fine art pianos and player-planos, Last Saturday morning word was received that the big Eastern ship- ment of these beauties had arrived at the Seattle freight yards—-and right here is where Mr. Thoma: says Bobby Burns and the Move) fits in. When the cars were unsealed it was discovered that through care less handling by the railroads this whole shipment of New York high grade pianos of the most select kind was badly case damaged and of course the intended opening ex hibition had to be postponed—as Mr. Thomas sald it had “gang @ gley” until another shipment would arrive and which was telegraphed for at once. But here comes the of this—the railroad people “sell them for what they'll and we'll pay the damage.” A big crowd had gathered on Saturday night at $23 3rd Ave. where the new rtore is located, three of these pianos were actually sold on the sidewalk . while the wagons were unloading Since early this morning the Na tional Piano Mfrs.’ store at 823 3rd Ave, has been crowded with people snapping up these big bar gains. The damage only consists of some bad scratches on the case It would be impossible to give full idea here of the dig values.
