AN INNOVATION.

•'CLEARANCE" SALES" OF PIANOS AND ORGANS, BY D. BALDWIN & CO.

250 Pianos to be Sold at Popular Sale Qin the Armory at Danville, Ills., Next Week—The Big Affair Under tlie Personal Direction of Mr. J. A.

Marshall, the Terre Haute Manager of D. H. Baldwin dfc Co.

When the store rooms of D. H. Baldwin & Co., at Indianapolis were badly damaged by fire and water some time ago, the wide awake managers of the company conceived the idea of disposing of the uninjured portion of their Immense stock at a big "Water Sale." They secured Tomlinson hall, the largest In the state, engaged a large corps of salesmen, advertised largely, and as a result had a most wonderfully successful sale. The success of that idea led them to inaugurate a series of "Clearance Sales" in the principal parts of the country, and last week they dpened at New Albany. The Pianos and Organs, offered, including many new as well as old intruments were sold with great success. The same week one was in progress at Clarksville, Tenn., and did equally well. Following up the idea, next week the company will inaugurate a Clearance Sale at Danville, Illinois, which will be in charge of Mr. J. A. Marshall, for many years the popular manager of their Terre Haute branch. He has secured the Armory there, is billing the city like a circus, and arousing an interest in the affair that promises great things for D. H. Baldwin & CO.

The magnitude of this sale may be imagined when it is known that ten salesmen will go from this city to take charge of the great stock and that five car loads of stock Pianos were shipped from the immense store rooms in this city to the Illinois sale. There will also be two cars of new Pianos shipped from the factory.

The grades handled by the Baldwin company have always been foremost in the American markets, including the Pianos made at the firm's own factory, which take rank with the acknowledged leaders.

The sale will assume more of the phase of a social and musical affair than of a business transaction. Three grand concerts will be rendered daily by prominent artists. All will be under the personal supervision of Mr. J. A. Marshall, of this city, whose reputation and experience in the music business is well known.

The removal of this stock from the local establishment will make room for a replenishment, of the finest instruments the world produces, and a general invitation is extended the public to call and examine them, after the sale.

Dr. E. Detchon's Antl Diuretic May be worth to you more than 1100 if you have a child who soils bedding from incontenence of water during sleep. Cures old and young alike. It arrests the troubleat once. $1. Sold by all druggists in Terre Haute, Ind.

MY CHOICE FOR The Most Popular Store

for whom do you think they would vote? Don't you honestly think they would vote for us—that is, our store? We think they would. Chances are that they'd write "Herz'" instead of "Herz's"— that's a mistake that we started— everybody goes to Herz'—says he does, at least but he's really going to Herz's.

HEBZ'S BULLETIN.

Well grant in your own mind that we are the most popular store. Why We haven't a beautiful store building—won't have until September—haven't had for the last 27 years—and still we have the orowd.

We rarely take whole pages in the papers to talk about ourselves and our stocks—our smallest "ads" are read—we've proofs of that.

We don't have things to give away—our business is selling neither can we give yaluable store space to free shows nor dime museum exhibitions—yet the ladies come here to buy.

Then why is our store popular? Let's have another ballot to answer that question—let the women vote again.

MY CHOICE FOR THE BEST STOCKED STORE is

We think that the Terre Haute women—the store-wise women— would again vote for Herz'. What do you think about it?

Why are our stocks so complete There are several reasons. In the first place our undivided attention is given to ladies' wearing apparel, furnishings and notions. We don't know of a bigger store of this kind anywhere in the west We buy in quantities and for cash only—that opens the doors of the largest concerns in the world to us—doors that are closed to other Terre Haute houses.

Our resident buyer in New York and the frequent trips of our home buyers keep us in touch with the eastern market.

We make a special effort to have every novelty as soon as it makes its appearance on the market.

We keep our stock constantly on the move— haven't room for fossils —first loss here is an easy loss—we take it without wincing.

When th6 time comes for us to move to our new building the changing won't reveal stocks from years gone by—-our removal sale will not be the dumping out of a lot of age-worn, shop-worn stuff. We have nothing of that kind Our last winter's cloak stock consists of three ladies''jackets and one child's garment—that's the entire stock of old cloaks in this house. We challenge any store of like calibre in the whole United States to equal this record.

Thus, having no old goods and yet having a store crowded with merchandise—new, desirable stock —you can see why oar assortments are largest.

Suppose the women were handed the following ballot:

MY CHOICE FOR

The Store With Lowest Prices

And suppose they would again write "Herz'" on that ballot would they be right in so doing?

Of course we answer "yes." It's natural that we should. Let us convince you of the truth of the women's decision.

We area striotly one-price store we have as our competitors a number of "many-price" stores.

These stores will ask a customer a high prioe and then, if the customer objects, will drop to a lower one—sometimes a much lower one. But, mind you, these honest stores would have taken the first price, if they could have gotten it—not being able to get it, they take the lower one. Often they get their first price, however—every one is not a judge of values.

Well, having to compete with stores of that kind, it stands to reason that we have to make our first and only price as low or lower than their drop-down price. Do you catch the argument? That's why we're cheaper than any other Terre Haute store—lots cheaper.

Here's why we are cheaper than the big city store3: We issue a catalogue to send to our out of town customers. This places us in direct competition with catalogues issued by St. Louis and Chicago stores. Terre Haute is a small city—Chicago and St. Louis are large cities. If our prices were the same as the big city store prices we would get the worst of it, as most women would purchase from the stores in the big cities— that's human nature. Therefore we have to make lower prices than are quoted in other catalogues— a great deal lower —but these prices are appreciated. Our increasing ligt of mail-order customers shows that.

Thus it is that Terre Haute women buy from us at the lowest paices at which it is possible to retail honest merchandise honestly got.

We ask your pardon if we've tired you but after we had started to talk we couldn't stop.

We want to end by saying that we appreciate the patronage spoken of in this "ad" and shall do all in our power to merit it's continuance. If you've any faults to find with us or know of any way by which we can build up a better store—better for you as well as for us—please tell us of them. We appreciate friendly criticism. No one perfect. We're no exception.
