presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we
l. boldly announce the greatest triumph IN must

century, the French and Germans have manu- fac
tureo reed instruments with double bellows and
two pedals tor the feet operate but the want Of
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, fwh ch Is the
ohiy beHows used IN our instruments, } made II m-
Postlole Tor them to produce the mellow, rich and
musical tone Tor which our instruments are cele-
bFsted.
Another objection TO this method of blowing
was, that both ieet being occupied, no opportunI-
~ was ohered for the Management of the swell.
Nlthin the past two ears, INSTRUMENTS construct

couHtersct this difficulty (want of a SWELL lever

aPpendage Is nearly impossible
Our Autmatic device ObyIates this difficulty en-

the volume OF tone. For seventeen wears the
superior excellence of our Melodcons has moi

We would say to the Union men Of

their opponents are inactive they are
mistaken. We never knew the Copper

of exposure the leaders and oriRina-
tors of these falsehoods, through whose
circulation they hope TO defeat honest,
capable and worthy men, dare not put
