MENDELSSOHN PIANO

STANDS WITHOUT AN EQUAL.
These Pianos made one of the finest dis
plays at the Centennial Exhibition, and were
unanimously recommended for the Highest
Honors.
Professor o. N. Newell, the celebrated pi-
anist. who received the distinguished honor Of
a Gold Medal and Badge from the Centennial
Commis sioners for highest excellence in
piano playing at the great Exhibition. says of
ttese Pianos: II must say that they equal the
best Pianos made by any Arm in this city.
For evenness and pure singing quality Of
tone they have NO SUPERIOR ANYWHERE.
The continuation of sound after striking a
note is something wonderful In art of scale

Pianos sent on trial, and sold on INSTALL
ments. Don't fail to write for illustrated and
Descriptive Catalogue-mailed free.
CAUTIoN.--Ihe Mendelssohn Is q regularly
incorporated manufacturing company. and the
only house which makes the entire piano. and
sells direct to the purchaser at factory price.
Beware OF bogus" pianos offered by dealers
who pretend to be manufacturers. We refer
