PIANOS
$25.00 FOR ONE CENT
You cant understand how we can afford to give money away like this. But we can, because you help us do it. This is how it is done. Take a one-cent postal card and write the names and addresses plainly of five prospective piano buyers and mail to us and we will send you by return mail a copy of our book of 52 choice songs free. If we sell to either of your prospective purchasers a piano for cash, we will at once mail you a check for $25. If we sell to either of your prospects on installments, you will receive $15 as the cash is paid in to us.
The Buyer Saves 40.º
You do your friend a kindness. too, by giving us his name. Much of the cost of a piano is in the selling. You
help us sell it at a nominal expense and the saving goes to the purchaser, as we save the salary and traveling expenses of agents. We are the Southwestern Distributors for a number of leading factories. Purchasers profit by this for we ship directly from our factories, thus giving our customers practically factory prices.
