These instrument* xie liable to have been on sale
already in oilier plains, aim may have been in ibe bouHeti of
aeveral people and rejetted. You can eaailv ascertain whether
the instrument offered for sale belongs to the consigned class
or not, by simply offering to purchase it on easy payments,
without signing mites. Consignment agents when selling in-
struments on installments demand, not only iron el ad con-
tracts, but notes with Interest, and frequently these notes carry
an additional percent, collected by law. Notes are not liken
as additional security, but geuetallv for the purpose of trans-
ferring to manufacturers, selling them to bunk or motley lend-
ers to secure further credit. These no'ea must be paid on the
day they become due, or the loss of the instrument and a!1 cash
payments. People who buy snub instruments snd sign such
notes deserve no sympathy. |3F"We aie cash buyers. We
carry a larger stock and a greater variety of Pianos than all
dealers in Texas combined. We have been established over 28
years ia Texas. We do not ask notes on time sales. We re-
fer to any bank in this stale.
