We would sell a great many more if we could make prospective piano purchasers think and com- pare and try before they buy. Quality for quality, tone for tone, the Meister is actus ally better than other pianos that sell for $100 more. That extra one hundred dollars blinds some folks, They think tne other piano must excel the Meister. They are price-blind. Theythinkaccordingtoprice. Thevery fact that the Meister sells for as little as $175 makes some of them afraid of it. It’s good enough for the best homes in the land, but they don’t know that. TRY A MEISTER Thirty Days at Our Expense The best way to know the Meister is to try it thirty days in your own home—away from salesmen—away from specially con+ structed piano sounding rooms—eway where it has to make good on merit, not on stage settings. oR bake word and we will deliver the Meister without cost toyou. (Even if you decide not to keep it, there's stil! no expense to you, for we send for it.) When a Meister is installed in your parlor, forget that sell it for only $175. Don't teil any one the price. Just judge it on its merits jano, not as a bargain. Note its full, rich tone, its easy touch and action, its beautiful exterior finish; look at the interior construction, Compare the workmanship and materials with pianos costing one hundred dollars more. Then Take Three Years to Pay : for It Our terms of payment are as easy as our price—16 cents a day or $5.00a month. You can spread your payment over three years if you like. Meanwhile we charge no interest on deferred payments. The whole thing is the cleanest, nicest and best piano proposition on the market. You simply can’t equal It anywhere. We've upset all tradition and precedent to make it easy for everybody to own a fine piano, a genuine Meister. We want you to try one at our expense. Will you do it?
