Every Instrument w arranted for F'iyeYears

N presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we
boldly announce the greatest triumph IN nssi-
cal instruments Of the age. Dunng the past half
century, the French and Germans have manufac-
tured reed instruments with double below, end
two pedals for the feet operate but the want Of
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (wh ch - the
only bellows used in instruments) made il i'm
possible for them to prodsee the mellow, rich and
musical tone for which our instruments are eele-
brated.
ID, Another objection to this method Of blowing
was, that both feet being occupied, NO oPportuai-
~ was offered for the Management of the swell
Within the past two ears, instruments construct
ed on this Europesn plan ef SO dcuoie oiowefs,"
have been manufactured in this country, and to
counteract this difficulty (want Of sweii) lever
has been projected from the centre of the instru
ment, TO act upon the SWELL and operated by the
knee. The Inconvenience and contortion necss
ssry to effect this object, dsagreeable enough
to q gentleman, but 10 lady the use OF such an
appendage 10 nearly impossible
Our Autmatic device obviates this difhcnlty en-
tirely, the simple act OF blowing with more less
force giving the desired increase decrease in
the volume of tone. For seventeen years the
superior excellence of our Melodeons has not
been questioned, and TOR two years past the enor-
nous demand has made il Impossible for ~ to
meet our orders promptly. With our increased
facilities, we feel warranted in assuring pat
rons that their orders VIII be promptly met, and
solicit continuance of their patronage.
