WHEREAS, my object in exhibiting the Patent

| could be had. And,
WHEREAS, some (so-called) best makers refuse
| to compete, for the same reasons and as l be-
| lleye am now manufacturing the best Grand and
Square Plano-Fortes in the country, without any
exception, and as earnestly desire to prove the
correctness OF my opinion, while assisting de-
serving charitable institution; therefore, this
day. and for thirty days, Challenge all manufac-
| turers of the Grand and Square Pianos to a pub
