XXJORCESTERS PIANoS.-From the New
w York Commercial Advertiser, November
nth, 1859 For the better part of u generation
they have been constantly before the public, all Of
them, old and new, proving, by their stability and
constancy, the skill with which they are construc
ted. For durability Of tone, for evenness and uni
formity of work, and for excellence of frames.
these PIANOS may well challenge competition.
We know Instruments Of Mr.. W"rcestor's turn
out, that have borne the humping Of fifteen
years, and remain as perfect in tone and in build
us in their first estate. The number made at this
Factory is largely increased from year to year"
am sole Agent in Aexandris, for the above
PIANOS, and will furnish any number at Factory
prices, per ct, of for CASH, ut six months for
approved negotiable paper, and WARRANT every
Instrument. Feeling perfectly satisfied that a
better PIANO caruoi be had in the United States
/ respectfully solicit orders from all who want,
and are disposed to ratr"nize home trade.
