We Werespectfuly invite friends and the public gcner

assortment Of highly improved Square and Pianos

exhibitions held in this country including the Prize
Medal at the Worlds Fair, Crystal Palace New York. and
testimonials from the this country
and Europe.
We feel satisfied that there are no Pianos made in this
country superior to own
As Philadelphia manufacturers pride ourselves In
having achieved reputation for our instruments unex-
ceed by any other makers In this country Il we'll
known fact our Pianos have for many years main
taned their high reputation, Notwithstanding the powerful
competition Of the Eastern makers.
New York and Boston Pianos have been flooded into
this market through ther agencies, heraldoi by them
as tho only Pianos in the country yet the time
these same agents very seldom continue to sell any
makers instruments for any length time for the reason
that they inferior, and they compelled take
hold Of other makers, perhaps gtl inferior,
although puhed up by them celebrated Pianos when
at the same time such makers have mover been
known or heard fin their cities. Tho consequence
s that our citizens often induced to purchase such
inferior instruments without considering their own or the
general interests Of their city.
The advantages citizens have In encouraging home
manufactures certainly should besoyerlooked for
following reasons
First 1t is acknowledged that Philadelphia Is the great
manufacturing city Of tAs country and celebrated for m
superior and skilful workmsn.
Second The purchaser obtains the piano directly from
the manufacturers and the amount made by the
agent who usually claims greater prohB than the manu-
f6cturer.
Third The agents responsibility amounts to nothing,
there IL redress the instrument he sells is made for
the mark and the purchas must the risk Whereas
the other hand. the manufacturers, held
responsible, and cannot shirk the responsibility like the
agent Our reputation iB at stake at all times and II IL
therefore TO our interest to turn out other than ns
class instruments.
Fourth. Admitting that such instruments might be
equal 10 when new, they cannot give the same
satisfaction, the length OF time for the
that the agent depends upon others TO keep suoh
any HIS prohts do whilst we the
have own excellent wOrkmen, who fully understand
the bu sness and Will promptly give their attention, and

There are OF COURSE always differences OF opinion, and
preuded minds and those who interested in the salo
OF other pianos who may differ from 10 such have
only say that II would much pleasure at any
time, test instruments with any other make which
they may choose 20 name.
We again ask fIiends and the public To call and
