J Player Makes Each Mem ber of Ihe Family a Musician Economical Piano Buying Economy in buying a piano consists of getting the best in strument that can he made to sell at the price you want to pay. Tt does not necessarily consist in obtaining an instrument at a low price, because some pianos and player-pianos are expen sive at any figure. •But there is a limit beyond which you can not go in the pur chase of an instrument without paying too much. You should expect to give what the piano is worth, but you should also expert to get the full equivalent of your money. That principle is the basis of our selling policy, and we are prepared to show our patrons that every instrument is marked at a fair price. You ran pay as much as $1,250.00 for one of our pianos, or as low as $195.00. In any ease you get the full value of your in vestment. In other words, you buy economically. Reliability is the key-note to be considered. The W. \Y. Kim ball Company,.of Chicago, are the world’s largest manufacturers of pianos, player-pianos, residence and church pipe organs, and its product is sold direct, eliminating the middleman’s profits, through this Branch Store. Our one, absolutely one, price insures the buyer of receiving full value for his money. We wish to emphasize the fact that the fixed price at which all of our goods are sold is based on an output of 30,000 instruments yearly. Our Exchange Department offers many attractive bargains to those wishing either slightly used player-pianos, pianos or organs. Prices, in some eases, even less than actual cost of manufacture.
