We oinIy in7ite friend, and the public gener
ally 10 ca1 at wsrcro and examine our extensive
assortment OF lgby improved square and Grand Pianos
We nave feoel ed the highest premiums at all the great
exhibitions held IN this country including the Prize
McdRl at the Wods FRT, Crystal Palace, Few York and
Testimonials from the best artists In this county
and Europe.
We ce satisfied that there Pianos made In this
country superior 60 our own.
As Philadelphia manufacturers We pride ourselves in
having achieved reputation fer Instruments unex
celed by any other makers in this country. It we'll
III own fact that Pianos have for many years main
tanned their high reputation Notwithstanding the powerful
competition Of the Eastern makers.
New York ana Bos Pianos have been flooded into
this market through their agencies, horadcd by them
lhe only Pianos the country; yet at the same time
these same agents very seldom continue 10 sell any
makers instrumental for any length OF time for IT,
that they are Inferior, and they compelled TO take
hold OF other makers, perhaps stil inferior,
although pulled up by sIcm celebrated Pianos, when
at the time such makers have never been
knoWn or heard of in their stiles Tho consequence
is that our oitzens are 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 not bsovorlooked for the
follow ing reasons:-
First 1t Is acknowledged that Philadelphia is the great
manufacturing city OF this country and celebrated for It's
| superior and skiliul Workmen.
scocpQ The purchaser obtains the piano directly from
US, the manufacturers and the by the
agent who usually clsus greater prohtS than the
! factugor
Third The agents responsibility amounts TO nothing,
there Is no redress the instrument no sells Is made
the market and the purchasermu the risk. Whereas
on the Oihcr hand, Wot the manufacturers hCd
responsible ana cannot stir the responsibility like the
agent Our reputation Is at stake at all times, and IL Is
therefore TO our interest 10 turn out other han frat
1 class Instruments
! Fourth. Admitting that such instruments might he
equal I" our when new, they give the sumo
sAtsthCtOn, the length of time, for tne
reason that the Bget depends upon others keep
pianos as he sells IN ORDER ana will eXpend
any Of his profits to do so, whilst the
have our own excellent WOrkmeu, who fully understand
tie business ana will promptly give their attention. and
ne pianos be made o wear much LONGER.

Our instruments also possess great Improvements over
Othfs ana extensive facilities for manuiacturing
enable us Keep on hand large stOck material aud

II persons dcsirous TO purchase will give call We
will prove all that have said IN regard pianos.
There Of always dinCfenCGs Of opinion

OF other pianos who may differ from we have
onNtO say, that IL would much pleasure any
time, 10 test our instruments with any other make which
