THE ESTEY ORGAN LEADS The WORLD,

The foremost musicians OF Europe anu
America hasten to Join their testimony 10 that
Of professional and amateur orgailBlS anu
instrumentalists, Of all degrees OF prohc'cnoS
md celebrity. and all with remarkable uhaln-
nifty affirm that no reed organs, OF Whatever
manufacture, native or foreign, can poS'DiS
compar with those from the house OF lhc'0'e,
Estey a. Co. in power, tone, workmanship "nu
stvle. Such a position and reputation can oHnS
be gained legitimately. Mushroom la"n,i"e-
turcrs that grow up in q night and Haunt tlr'r

ORGANS have achieved this success gradually,
through years Of sturdy toll, patient expert

years? The lowest priced pipe organs that are
worth buying cost 81 500. Messrs. Estey q 20.
