This exhibition is for aivr-rtifc-iug purposes Admission will be free and ev ery body is cordially invited to attend. We have arranged special hd tertaioment for all, each after noon and evening. The display will include ons each of the different styles of Kimball, Whitney and Hiuze pia nos, and will be tSe most complete exhibit ever given the South by any piano-company. The object ot the exhibit is to thoroughly introduce the different style pianos manufactured by tne W. W. Kimball Company, and have them as well known to the general public as the Kimball Reed Organs have been for the past 20 years Several years ago we used this method to introduce Kimball or gans, and the plan was so success ful, the Kimball organ business hae been largely increased each year, while most of the other or gans that kept up the old, expen sive methods of advertising, have either failed or retired from busi ness. Kimball organs are now so well known in eveiy section that ws are able to get business at such low cost aB to enable us to reduce the retail price on organs nearly one-third on each instrument; and it is our wish to havathe Kim ball Pianos as well established as the Kimball Organs are. There are already over 200,000 Kimball PianoB in use, ai.d they! have a very large trad of tho ' princip'l dealers in the cities. We ar' positive we can double! cur business in the cities and farm sections, if we gefc the public well I acquainted with the beautiful tone and splendid wearing qualities of the K mball Piano. We havb withdrawn most of our advertising appropriations from the magazines tnd billboards and will use this advertising mon ey in exhibiting instruments. Kimball PianoB are now csed by the world's greatest musioif ns, by several music conservatories, and as statod above, over 200,000 of the best families in this country use aud edorse them. The W. W. Kimball Company has over twice the largest factory in the business, and over four times the largest .-cash capital. Any banker will give you our financial standing. At the close of tne exhibition all of the instruments will be sold, and to make certain that each of; the different styles will be left-' here, we will reduce the price to about wholesale on each istru ment on very liberal terms. - The exhibition will be open evenings and a souvinier will be given away free to each person who calls. We will be pleased to have you call, even if yon never' intend to get a piano. A careful examination of the tone and construction of these1 sample pianos is what we desire.' Piano mechanism will be explain ed by factory experts. We want your good opinion, and it will pay you for your time. Exhibition open evenings until 9 p. m. E.
