In addition to the COMMUNICATION of the most

the highest honorS Of the Institutes.
Being extensively engaged in the manufacture
OF Pianos, and employing over one hundred Of
the most experienced workmen, l am prepared
to sell either wholesale or retail, on the most
commodating terms; wholesale dealers will,
therefore, find it to their advantage to give me a
call before purchasing elsewhere.
All instruments built at my factory have full
IRON frames, and are constructed as TO secure
great additional strength without affecting the
tone; and they will, therefore, stand in any cIi-
mate.
Every piano forte OF my manufacture is guar
anteed for five years, and when intended to fill
distant orders, the greatest possible is taken
to ensure the selection of an instrument calcutta
ted, in tone, touch, power and mechauichal fin
ish, to please the most fastidious; in addition to
which privilege of exch ange is granted at any
