No. 1921 OHESNUT STREET.

We respectfully Invite or friends and tie public gener
ally call at and examine our extensive
assortment of highly improved Square and Grand Pianos,
We received the highest premiums at all the great
exhibitions held IN this country, including the Prize
Medal at the Worlds Fsr Crystal Palace, view York. and
puu crous testimonials the best artists In this country
and Europe.
We fee satisfied that there Pianos made in this
country superior TO own.
As Philadelphia manufacturers We pride ourselves in
having achieved Il reputation for instruments
Celed by any other makers In this country Is welt
known fact that Pianos have for many years main
taHcd their high reputation, Notwithstanding the powerful
competition of the Eastern makers
New York and Bos Pianos have been flooded into
this market through oir agencies heraded by them
as The only Pianos In the country; yet al the time
these agents very seldom continue to sell any
makers instruments for any length OF time for the
that they inferior, and they compelled to take
hold OF other makers perhaps stlil more infshor,
although pufCd up by them celebrated Pianos, when
at the same time such makers have never beeu
known heard Of in their cities The Consequence
is, that citizens often induced to purchase such
inferior instruments, without considering their the
general interests Of their city.
The advantages our citizens have encouraging home
manufactures certainly should not beOyerlookod for the
follow ing reasons: -
First II is acknowledged that Philadelphia is the great
manufacturing city of this country, and celebrated for Its
superior and shiul woTkmen.
secoId The purchaser obtains the piano directly from
u.s. the manufacturers saves the amount made by the
agent who usually claims greater profits than the
EctuIeT.
Third Tho agents responsibility amounts to nothing,
there redress; the instrument he sells Is made Tor
the Market and the purchaser must the risk Whereas,
on the other hand We the manufacturers, held
responsb and cannot sfirk the responsibility like the
agent. Our reputation is at stake AZ all times and is
therefore "a interest 10 turn out none other than first
ClAss instruments.
| Fou ill., Admitting that such instruments might be
equal tO whcu new, they cannot give the same
satist. Ction, the cngih OF time for the
that the agent depends upon others TO keep such
pianos he sGs order, and VIII OF course not eXpend
