NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. new In USE
Every 1nstrumenfwarr. for FiveYe.r.

I N presenting the AUTOMATIC 0RGAN, we
L boldly announce the greatest triumph IN nusi-
cal instruments of the age During the past bali
century, the French and Germans have manufac--
tured reed Instruments with double beitows, and
two pedals for the feet operate but the want OF
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (which 10 the
only bellows used in our instruments,) made it i'm
musical tone for which our instruments are cele-
brated.
Another objection TO this method of blowing
was, that both feet being occupied, no opPortani-
y was offered for the management of the swell
Within the past two ears, instruments construct-
ed on this European plan of sc double eioweu,
have been manufactured in this country, and to
counterfeit this difficulty (want Of swelD 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, disagreeable enough
to gentleman, but 10 a lady the use OF sueh an
appendage is nearly impossible.
Our Autmatic device obviates this difficulty en-
trely, 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 excelence of our Melod Icons has not
been questioned, and for two years past the enor-
nous demand has made IL impossible for rs to
meet our orders promptly. With our increased
facilities, we feel warranted in assuring pat
rons that their orders wall be promptly met, and
solicit continuance of their patronage.
