THOUSAND NOW In USE
Every Instrument Warranted for FIveYear

presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we
/ boldly announce the greatest triumph in musi-
cal instruments OF the age. Duung the past half
century. the French anu Germaps have manufac-
tured reed Instruments with double bel .ows, and
two pedals Tor the feet operate but the want OF
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, wh en- is the
only bellows used In instruments, made II i'm
possible tor them to prod uce the mellow rich and
musical tone Tor which our instruments are eels-
brated.
Another objection to this method OF blowing
was, that both ieet being occupied, no opporIg
~ was offered for the management Of the swell.
Within the past two years, instruments Construct
ed on this European plan CT - dUUbe biowers,' -
have been manufactured IN ths country, and to
cOunteract this difficulty (~anf of a swelD lever
has been projected from the centre Of the instru
ment. TO act upon the swell, and operated by the
knee. The InconvenIe .Ce aud coutortion necas
sar' TO effect this object, are dsagreeable enough
TO a gentleman, but 10 lady the use OF such an
sppsadage - nearly i'm possible
Our AutmatIc device oEyIates this q ifficBltys en-
tireiy, the SIMPLE act OF blowing with more or less
force giving tbs desired IBcrease or decrease in

superior excellence of Melodeoas has not
been questioned, and for two years past the enor-
nous demand has made II impossible for us to
