We Announce for Tomorrow The Great September Sale Of USED PIANOS And Angelus Piano Players Since the beginning of our great success with these periodical sales of used Pianos, all of which come into our hands through legitimate chan- nels, there have been constant offerings elsewhere, which would make it seem that every month of the year was full of opportunities of this kind, Those who are familiar with the WANAMAKER custom, know that there are only three or four of these sales during the year, and that they are simply the result of the natural accumulation of Pianos taken in ex- change for our fine new instruments. In the character of the Instruments offered during one of these sales, no other n.vvement of the kind approaches it. Our lack of storage space, as well as our desire to hurry away quickly these instruitients, that we take to accommodate the purchasers of our new Pianos, rather than for profit to ourselves, make us mark these at extremely low prices. In addition to the pianos that are strictly second-hand, the collection includes a large number of instruments that have been rented a few months, which after being tuned and otherwise fixed up in our repair shops are practically new. We also include in this lot some sample instruments on our floor, which are not in perfect condition, The present offering is one of the very finest and largest we have ever presented. By actual count there are two hundred and seventeen instruments offered tomorrow, of which one hundred and thirty-one are Grand, Upright and Square Pianos; seventy-five are Angelus Piano Players, which were earlier models, which have been gone over at the fac- tory and brought as nearly up to date as the cases will allow, and are now offered at just one-half the regular price, The last group is a collection of eleven organs, of which eight are from the celebrated Mason & Hamlin Factory. This is one of the best offerings of Mason & Hamlin Organs that has been made in recent years. This splendid collection of goods will be on sale when the store opens tomorrow morning. Those who are the most prompt will naturally get such selection as has never been known in under-price pianos before, However, the collection isso great that the sale will probably continue several days, Any of these instruments may be bought on the easy payment plan—a amall cash Payment, and easy month!y payments afterward, Following is a list of the instruments offered : Grand Pianos Chickering Concert Grand Piano, was $1000, now $295 | 2 oe ng Quarter Grand Pianos, were $650, now a eac!
