THE new styles Of Cabinet or Parlor Organs
recently introduced by the Mason & Hamlin
Organ Co. are said to be the finest instruments
Of this class which the world has produced,
both in their musical capacity and elegance Of
case. One style Of organ with nine stops,
which sells for cash at from S114 to $40, ac-
cording to elegance Of case, is especially de-
sirable. Such is the demand for it that they
are scarcely able to supply it, though they have
more than one thousand organs of this single
style under way, and turn out more than one
hundred per week.
