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 IN the different cit
les, but are Superior to them in their Fire-Proof
qualities and durability, the Iron being effectuaiy
protected from rust in any climate, and the Fire
Proof not subject to lose Its utility by age. This
Is an important advantage gained to the purchaser
safes often rust out and become worthless In
two three years.
To substantIate my position, those purchasing
these Fire. Proofs at Liberty by giving me due
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, 1 will refund the
money, EIre-Proof, the purchaser
may decide.

I \ presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, We
| boldly announce the greatest triumph IN must
cal instruments of the age. During the past half
century, the French ana Germans have manufac-
turea reed instruments with double bel Ovs, and
two pedals for the feet operate but the want OF
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (wh ch - the
only bellows used in INSTRUMENTS m ade il i'm
possible tor them to produce the mellow, rich and
musical tone tor which instruments are eele-
brated.
Another objection to this method OF blowing
was, that both ieet being occupied, no oPPorunl-
~ offered for the management OF the swell
Within the past two ears, INSTRUMENTS construct
ed this European plan CT I" double blowers"
have been manufactured IN this country, and to
counterfeit this difficulty (want of s~ell) lever
has been projected from the centre of the instru
ment, TO act upon the swell, and operated by the
knee. The Inconvenience and contortlOn neces
sary to effect this object, are dsagreeable enough
to a gentleman, but TO 4 lady the OF such an
appendage is nearly impossible.
Our Autmatlc device obyIates this difficulty en-
tirely, the simple act OF blowing with more less
force giving the desired increase decrease In
the volume of tone. For seventeen years the
superior excellence of Melodeons has not
been questioned, and for two years past the enor-
nous demand has made 1t impossible tor US to
meet orders promptly. With increased
facilities, we feel warranted In assuring our pat
rons that their orders Will be promptly met, and
solicit continuance of their patronage.
