	Missoula, Montana:
        
        At the Rothburg Music Store, there is an unusual
        promotional going on.
        
        For a limited time, anyone who purchases a new piano
        will receive a free rifle, a $450 value, "just in time
        for hunting season."
        
        The idea behind the promotion is that most of the
        prospective piano-purchasers are women, but most of the
        men have the money, and by giving the husband something
        they would like, they are more likely to front the
        money for the piano purchase of their wife.
        
        Reportedly, business has been good.
