Exceptional Bargains! f

THURSDAY.
1
Having been in the Piano ami Or^an busmens in Collin County
for tho past twelve (la) yearn, and having sold during that
time only makes of demonstrated* merit—Kimball, Estcy, Hamil-
ton, Camp & CO.,—which have met every requirement and de-
mand of my trade, e\en the moHt fastidious, 1 feel justified in
soliciting a continuation of your support and patronage during
the eurr nt year. I am in a position this year not only to meet
the keenest competition possible, but to even go further than
that—to give you Bargains in Pianos and Organs that you j will at
once r<*)ogni/-e and appreciate. Among other reasons for litis
v«>ry favorable bituation, 1 have made a material reduction 111
the number of salaried salesmen, ship altogether in Carload lots
and do not practice the very unjust custom of paying com-
missions to teachers and solicitors to induce them to recom-
mend my pianos, thus dealing directly, frankly and honestly
with my patrons.
Read over the following list of Bargains carefully, remem-
bering that if you are in the market for an instrument, money
or no money, that you can get it:
Chickering Grand —Second-hand,ebony finish, and in good
condition - *17.00
