A Bargain Roon>

PEOPLE, often change their mind, sometimes they want more ex-pensive Pfenpa than they bought a y^ar or a© ago. They exchangethem for finer ones. Very often the Pianos we accept in exchange arejust as good as new. But they have been tts«&, and their proper placeis in the bargain Uoom. Ghee in & while the case-of a Hano is

or rubbed in handling -or packing at * factory—when itus we put it in the bargain Room. IHatjos that have been

ted from rental find their way to the Bargain Room* too. Very,often we conld touch the cases tip here' and there and sell them fornew; but that isn't oar way. W*prefer to put th&m in our BargainRoom and let them go for just what, they -cost us.-

You can come and see then), iaa# if you htty, well tell you pre?cisely what yon are buying and .guarantee every word we say.
