MELODEANS.
THIRTY-FIvE THOUSAND NOW In USE
Every Instrument Warranted for EiveTears

| \ presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we
L boldly announce the greatest triumph in musi-
cal instruments of the age. DURING the past half
century, the French and Germans have manufac-
tureo reed instruments with double bellows, and
two pedals tor the feet to operate, but the want OF
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (whi ch Is the
only bellows used IN instruments, made 1t i'm
possible Tor them to produce the mellow, rich and
musical tone tor which instruments cele
brated.
Another objection to this method OF blowing
was, that both feet being occupied, no opportunl-
ty was offered for the management of the SWELL
Within the past two years, instruments construct
ed on this European plan Of 50 double blowers
have been manufactured in this country, and to
counteract 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 a gentleman, but to lady the use OF such an
apPendage is nearly impossible.
Our AutmatIc device oEvlates this difficulty en-
trely, 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 ot our Melodeons has not
been questioned, and for two years past the enOr-
nous demand has made II impossible for US to
meet our orders promptly With increased
facilities, we feel warranted in assuring pat
rons that their orders Will be promptly met, and
solicit a continuance of their patronage.

than my Celebrated and Superior Chilled ana
Wrought Iron Burglar and Fne-Proof Safes
They furnish similar and equal security TO Tie

Is an important advantage gained to the purchase
