MELODEANS.
THIRTY-FIvE THOUSAND NOW In USE
Every Instrument warranted for FIveYears

n presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we
i boldly announce the greatest triumph in must
cal instruments of the age. During the past half
century, the French and Germans have manrac-
tured reed instruments with double bellows, and
two pedals for the feet to operate but the of
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (Which is the
only bellows used our INSTRUMENTS m ade il i'm
possible for them to produce the mellow, rich and
musical tone tor which our instruments are cele-
brated.
Another objection to this method of blowing
was, that both feet being occupied, no opportuni-
~ was offered for the management of the swell.
Within the past two ears, instruments construct
ed on this European plan OF " double blowers"
have been manufactured In this country, and to
counteract this difficulty want of swell) 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 neces
sary TO effect this object, disagreeabe enough
to gentleman, but To lady the use OF such an
aPPendage is nearly impossible.
Our Autmatic device o6viates this difficulty en-
tlrely, the simple act OF blowing with more or less
force giving the desired increase or decrease in
the volume OF tone. For seventeen years the
superior excellence of Meod icons has not
been questioned, and for two years past the enor-
nous demand has made II impossible for to
meet our orders promptly. With increased
facilities, we feel warranted in assuring pat
rons that their orders wall be promptly met, and
solicit continuance of their patronage.
