DON’T BUY CONSIGNED PIANOS AND ORGANS.
These instruments are liable to have Iteen en sale already at other places and
may have been in the houses of several people and rejected.
Yon can easily ascertain whether the instrument offered for sale belongs to
the consigned class or not byjsimply offering to purchase it on easy payments
WITHOUT SIGNING NOTES. Consignment Agents when selling instruments
on installments demand not only iron clad contracts BUT NOTES WITH IN-
TEREST and frequently those notes carry an additional per cent if collected by
law.
Notes are not taken as additional security but generally for the purpose of
transferring to Manufacturers selling them to Banks or money lenders to secure
further credit. Those notes paid on the day they become due or the loss
of instrument and all the cash aid must be expected.
People who buy such instruments and sign such notes deserve no sympathy.
We are cash buyers. We carry a larger stock and a greater variety of Pianosithan
all dealers in Texas combined. We have been established over 28 years in Tuts.
