These Fire proofs are manufactured to supply
demand for Security Against Fire, less expensive
than my Celebrated and Superior Chilled and
Wrought Iron Burglar and Fire-Proof Safes.
They furnish similar and equal security to the
Safes generally manufactured the different cit
les, but are Superior to them in their Fire-Prooi
qualities and durability, the Iron being effectuslly
protected from rust in any climate, and the Fire
Proof not subject to lose It's utility by age. This
is an important advantage gained to the purchase
as safes often rust out and become worthless In
two or three years.
To substantiate my position, those purchasing
these FIre-P Proofs at liberty, by giving me d ue
notice of time and place of trial, test them by
fire with any other Safe of the same size and
should they not prove superior, will refund the
money, new Fire-Proof, the purchaser

MELODEAN =.
THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND NOW In USE


n presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we
| boldly announce the greatest triumph in must
cal instruments of the age. During the past half
century, the French and Germans have manufac-
tured reed Instrume nts with double bellows, and
two ped for the feet to operate, but the want OF
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (whic CHI Is the
only bellows used In instruments, made it i'm
possible for them to produce the mellow, rich and
musical tone tor which 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 CT 90 double blowers"
have been manufactured in this country, and to
couuteract this difficulty want of a swel) 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 thi. object, are dsagreeabls enough
TO gentleman, but TO a lady the use of such
appendage is nearly possible.
Our AutmatIc device obviates this difficulty en-
tirely, the simple act OF blowing with more less
force giving the desired increase or decrease in
the volume OF tone. For seventeen years the
superior excellence OF Melodeons has not
been questioned, and tor two years past the enor-
nous demand has made 1t impossible tor to
meet our orders promptly. With increased
facilities, we feel warranted IN assuring pat
rons that their orders Will be promptly met, and
solicit continuance of their patronage.
