Here is the most liberal offer ever made to sella superb cabinet grand piano
A $10 bill puts it in your home. The balance, $287, we will advanceluid you
can pay us back a few dollars at a time.
We don't care how small your salary is you can now afford to own a piano.
How can we do it? Our Club Plan solves the problem and makes it possible for every
music-loving home to have its own piano, and to try it 10 day free.
The' Ludden & Bates Cabinet Grand is a $400 piano, but under our Club Plan we can
sell it at $297 and still make a fair profit for ourselves, very much less, mind you, than
the ordinary music house makes on the pianos it sells one at. a time. -
Here is the Plan:
One hundred piano buyers form the club. Thus we sell one hundred pianos at a time,
and to do this, thev are manufactured in advance one hundred at a time. No one
has to wait for his piano. By ths plan we have no expensive piano salesmen, or teachers
commissions to pay. Adding up these profits, expenses and commissions we found they
totaled $103. Then, not having to pay them, we promptly cut the price from $400 to
$297, and maintain the same high quality in our piano.
The Ludden & Bates Piano has been on the market for more than a quarter of a century.
Pianos we sold 27 years ago are still the musical dependence and delight of their owners.
Indeed, we think so highly of this piano that we give a life-time guaranty the strongest
ever made by any manufacturer, and back it up by our 40 years reputation.
This piano possesses a full, rich, singing tone that can be attained only when best
materials are put together by skilled, musicianly workmen. Special steel and copper
wound strings, double-repeating action, balanced scale, light, even touch, genuine ivory
keys, artistic cases in mahogany, walnut and oak. With each piano we supply beautiful
scarf and stool and a course of music lessons free.
Many buyers are sending us their $10 direct, asking us to enroll them as club members
at once. We place these names on our lists until application blanks can be sent them and
returned to us. If you prefer to find out more about our plan first, send for our piano
book. It is full of piano facts just such information as you ought to have whether you
buy of us or not, and that we with our 40 years history can best give.
A Suggestion for Lodges and Societies. Our Club Plan is an ideal way for
lodges and societies to secure a piano for thejrjchibjrooms. Write us about it ,

But first I would remark that it is not a proper plan
For any scientific gent tb whale his fellow-man,
And if a member don't agree with his peculiar whim
To lay for that same member for to 4 put a Head" on him.
Now nothing could be finer or more beautiful to see
Than the first six months' proceedings of that same society,
Till Brown of Calaveras brought a lot of fossil bones
That he found within a tunnel near the tenement of Jones
Then Brown he read a paper, ancjUbe -reconstructed- there,
-From- those same bojiSr-an"' animal that wasextremelyrare;
And Jonesthen"Isked the chair for a suspension of the rules
JT111 he"could prove that those same bones was one of his lost mules.
Then Brown he smiled a hitter smile, and said he was at fault.
It. seems that he had been trespassing on Jones family vault;
He was a most-sarcastic man, this quiet Mr. Brown,
And oh several occasions he had cleaned out the town.
Now I hold it is not decent for a scientific gent
To say another is an ass at least to all Intent;
Nor should the individual who happens to be meant
Reply to heaving rocks at him to any great extent.
Then Abner Dean, of Angel's, raised a point of order when
, A chunk of old red sandstone took him in the abdomen,
And he smiled a kind of sickly smile and curled up on the floor,
And the subsequent proceedings interested him no more.
For, in less time than I write It, every member did engage
In a warfare with the remnants of a paleozoic age;
And the way they heaved those fossils, in their anger, was a sin,
Till the skull of an old mammoth caved the head of Thompson In.
-And this is all I have to say of these improper games,
For I live at Table Mountain and , my name is Truthful James;
And I've told in simple language what I know about the row
That broke up our society upon the Stanislow. Bret Harte.
