Straube's One iYear Eree Trial Plan On Pianos

Affairs At The County Capital

Here's one thing we want to emphasize, and that s that when you buy a Piano at Straube's the incident isn't closed, even though you majr have paid all cash.

When you buy a Piano here you get with it a one year trial. If at any time within this period you have reason to believe you have not received the value for your money that was represented to you in the beginning, you have the privilege of selecting any other Piano in the store.

Could anything be fairer? Have you ever heard of such a liberal guarantee a guarantee that protects you in the broadest possible sense? A Straube owner means a Straube friend. Come in and look over the many values. We have practically all the leading standard makes in every, desired finish. If we haven't it we can get it for you in a very short time.

Ask for more information about our liberal guarantee.
