THE PRESTO'S WANT ADVS.
DEALERS—ATTENTION
I have a method of selling pianos and
phonographs whereby I secure a large
volume of desirable business in a very
short time. In a city of less than one
hundred thousand population, where I
did special advertising recently, I made
the dealer a net profit of approximately
$20,000 in six weeks. My proposition
should be of interest to any dealer who
wants to make real money and make it
quickly. All you need is the stock on the
floor. I'll do the rest. Write for my
proposition in detail. Address "Real
Money," Box 33, "Presto," Chicago.
WANTED—PIANO SALESMAN AND DEPARTMENT

piano towns in the country. No limit to earning ca-

If you want to make more money than at present
and are looking for a "bigger thing," write or wire
