We respectfully invite friends and the public gencr
ally 10 call at and examine extensive
assortment Of highly improved Square and Grand Pianos
We nave received the highest premiums at all the great
exhibitions held In this country including the Prize
Medal at the Worlds FAIR Crystal Palace, New York and
testimonials from the bos artists in this country
and Europe.
We iee satisfied that there are no Pianos made In this
country superior TO own.
AS Philadelphia manufacturers we pride ourselves in
having achieved a reputation for instruments unex-
ceedb by any other makers in this country. 1t welt
krown fact that Pianos have for many years main
taned their high reputation notwithstanding the powerful
competition Of the Eastern makers.

as the only Pianos IN tho country yet al the time

makers instruments for any length time, for the
that they Inferior, and they compelled to take
hold of other makers, perhaps still inferior,
although pulled up by them celebrated Pianos, when
at the same time such makers have never been
known or heard Of in their oiles The consequence
is that citizens often induced to purchase such
inferior instruments, without considering their own or the
general interests Of their city.

that the agent depends upon others keep such
pianos as ho sells In order, and Will OF not eNpend
Of his profits TO do whilst the manufacturers,
