The Sweet=Toned Epworth Piano 



A Piano good enough for these musi- 

 cians, is good enough for any one 



Prof. E. O. EXCELL 



whose music is suns around the globe 

 "The Epworth piano I bought of you for my home is a 

 superior instrument. There is a clearness, depth and richness in 

 its tone which is particularly pleasing. 1 can safely recommend 

 the Epworth to my friends." 



Prof. CHARLES H. GABRIEL 



•well-known comtoser of Sunday School music 

 "For years I have used the Epworth in my studio, and now 

 1 have bought another for my home; they are exceptionally sweet- 

 toned instruments. I feel that I can strongly recommend these 

 ' pianos, because I know them to be good and believe them to be 

 the best obtainable for the price." 



How to get a satisfactory piano at a satisfactory price 



THIS is a beautiful home scene, but no picture can 

 show the rich finish or the real beauty of the 

 Epworth piano. 



And no description can make clear to you the 

 sweetness of the Epworth tone. 



But place the Epworth in your home and the distinguished 

 beauty of the design and the rich, mellow sweetness of the 

 tone will not only delight you but will explain the popularity 

 of the Epworth among musicians and music lovers. 



It will pay you to read carefully every word of this adver- 

 tisement, and then to send for our free Epworth piano book 

 which tells how to get a satisfactory piano at it satis- 

 factory price. 



Our business was established 1856 by our president, 

 Mr. J. W. Williams, and we want to celebrate this, our 

 fiftieth or Jubilee year, by making and selling more Epworth 

 pianos and organs than in any one previous year. 



We own and operate two well equipped factories here in 

 Chicago, one for making the artistic Epworth pianos, and 

 the other for making the sweet-voiced Epworth organs. 



We invite you to go through our factories so you can see 

 the fine quality of the material we use and how our pianos 

 and organs are made. 



We think you understand that we do not sell our musical 

 instruments through piano dealers or agents, but that we sell 

 them all to homes and churches direct froitt our 

 and at tht- 'hi tory trice. 



This direct -from -factory plan enables you to get a sweet- 

 toned Epworth piano at a saving of about $100.00. and an 

 Epworth organ at a saving of from $10.00 to $50.00. 



Now, it is easy for us to make fine pianos, and it is easy 

 to sell them, too, when we know who are wanting to buy, 

 and to whom we ought to send our catalog. 



It is still easier for us to sell an Epworth piano after we 

 get a nice one in some home where we can refer to it as a 

 sample of our work. 



The Epworth is so beautiful in design and so sweet in 

 tone that it sells itself -all it needs is an introduction to the 

 prospective buyer. 



There are people in every community who are thinking of 

 buying pianos, but who, for both security and economy, 

 prefer not to deal with middle-men. agents, dealers or supply 

 houses. 



These people would be glad to see an Epworth in the 

 home of some neighbor and to learn from him about the 

 satisfaction and the saving of dealing direct with us, the 

 makers. 



Now, here is where you can help us and we can help 



vou - ... -ii- 



11 V can hr it you by giving you a special reduction on a 

 fine Sample Epworth Piano for your home and to which we 

 can refer prospective buyers. 



You can ii'-it us by showing your beautiful Epworth 

 piano to your friends and neighbors, and by sending us the 

 names of those who would like to receive our catalogs. 



Now, if you would tike to know what we are willing to 

 do for you on a fine Epworth piano as a sample of our 

 work, 'ill out ttif teuton at bottom oj 'this tage and 

 send it to us at once- 



We will then send oui beautiful piano book and our Spe- 

 cial Sample Piano Offer. 



If you like our generous offer then you may select one of 

 our fine pianos and have it sent on trial. 



When the piano arrives you can give it a thorough trial to 

 see if we have made a happy selection and have sent you the 

 very piano you yourself would have chosen. And if you 

 wish, you may have your friends "take a hand" in helping 

 you to decide the question. 



Then, if after a good trial you find the beautiful sample 

 piano to be a nicer, sweeter toned p;ano than you can pos- 

 sibly get anywhere elte for one half more, you may buy the 

 piano on your own terms. 



You may pay monthly, quarterly, annually, part cash or 

 all cash, or on any other reasonable terms. We like to 

 accommodate our customers, and especially those who help 

 us introduce our pianos. After you become the owner of an 

 Epworth piano, we will pay you generously for sending 

 names of piano buyers. 



Now, if you would like a free copy of our beautiful piano 

 book, with factory prices and our Special Sample Piano 

 Offer, fill out the coupon and send it to us at once. Do not 

 wait, but send the coupon in next mail or as soon as you can.
