The most perfect and beautiful musical instru-

Seventeen First Premiums over all competitors
at State Fairs during the month OF October
With a reputation established solely upon IN
trinsic merit, and without the aid of celebrated
names and paid testimonials, the AMERICAN Or
CANS have taken the highest rank as First-ClaSS
Instruments, and are justly acknowledged to have
no superior.
The attention OF the public is called to the A
MEXICAN ORGAN as an instrument long sought
for in the family circle, which, with new patent
improvements, is adapted to all kinds OF music,
particularly the connected organ style with Its
sustained tones and harmones, and Sacred music,
so much desired in American homes.
| The AMERICAN ORGANS excel all other nstru-
mentS ofthe kind in many important particulars.
They are superior in their greater fuiness ana
depth of tone, capacity OF expression, elasticity oil
| tone, and uuickuesS of action, rendering them
perfect in rapid movements.
| The AMERICAN ORGANS are constructed on the
principle ofthe large Pipe Organ, and in depth and
seniority of tone approach nearer that grand In
| Strument than any other organ yet manufactured
and are the only real reed organs now before the
public. Most So-called Organs" consist simply
of the action fastened upon the bellows as in The

effects.
In connection with the TrentOlo is the Pate

Walnut and Oak cases especially adapted +

We call special attention Il. the style of Amer
