11 CHANCE
TO BUY A FINE
Piano or Orp Very Cheap!
Still harping on the same old string.
Y’es, we have said a good deal about our
Piano and Organ closing out sale. But it
seems hard to make the public understand
that it’s an actual fact.
Naturally, they think it’s only an advertise
ment to put people in the notion of buyiug.
But, not so.
It’s a genuine clearance sale.
We actually have over one hundred Pianos
and Organs over and above our regular stock,
which we are closing out regardless of cost
or value.
Why* Became our cash is tied up in these
instruments, and we are needing it where it
wilt do us more good.
Many of these 100 instruments are entirely
new—not used a day. Some have been out
with agents on sale, and are a trifle shop worn.
Some have linen used a few mouths. Some
used six months or a year. Some used from
two to three years.
Some are goo I second-hand Instrument*
that we have taken in exchange and placed
in first-class order, so that they can hardly be
told from new.
In this lot there are Square Pianos, Upright
Pianos and Grand Pianos, Church, School and
Parlor Organs, from some twenty different
makers, including Chickering, Mathnshek,
Knabe. Ballet A Davis, Mason ft Hamlin,
Burdett, Peloubet and Shonr.inger.
As samples of these bargains we name the
following, viz:

If purchasers will call or write us, we can
certainly offer them bargains which will sur
prise them. All this stock must tie closed out
quick, and low prices will do it.
If Cash is not convenient, we can arrange
easy terms. Small Installments and long time.
Over Twenty of these Instruments were
sold during Centennial week, but there are
fully One Hundred left yet to be sold in the
ne\t thirty days.
And without question the greatest bargains
ever offered in Savannah.
They arc going, and going fast, and will
soon be gone, and you will then regret that
you did not accept the opportunity of pur
chasing.
Remember, these instruments are just as
represented, aud sold simply to reduce stock,
and that you cannot only be suited as to stvle
and price, but that we also offer them on easy
payments, if yon so desire.
Come and see for yonrself, or if you cannot
come in person, write us.
