Just think of a piano that can be stretched or telescoped to suit any desired

space m your music room: Ihere are thousands of such pianos on the market. There are hundreds of elastic piano dealers who sell them, but the trouble 'with tho elastic piano is the fact that only the sliding price, slippery method piano dealers can stretch or telescope them. These elastic pianos also have elastic prices. The truth about these pianos is often stretched to make the purchaser think he is obtaining a big discount. The elastic dealer selling rubber pianos has his own peculiar measure with no limit of stretch. By careful and well studied methods he takes your measure as to buying ability whether you can pay cash or buy on installments, or if you have an old piano to trade in. On top of this your neighbor has possibly sent the dealer word that you are going to buy a piano an extra 2) to :?r0 is added to the price for the "friend's" influence. The elastic piano dealer then stretches the price to cover these conditions and at the same time leave him a nice fat profit. ' Stage Setting for Act No. Two Supposing that you measure up to the standards of a cash customer. The same piano can be telescoped. Adjustments of price are magical. If you will ask the clastic piano dealers for a demonstration of the rubber piano selling methods you will understand, full-, the wide range of compass in price between the installment buyer and the cash buyer. Because you purchase your piano on installments you do not care to pay from $100 to $150 more than the cash buyer pays for the same piano. At Straube's everybody pays the same price for the same piano. Xo concern anywhere offers you such fine, well-known pianos at such small prices. No elastic methods. Just honorable business dealing. Xo big promises, no misrepresentation.
