anist. who received the distinguished honor Of
a Gold Medal and Badge from the Centennial
Comm, soners for highest excellence in
piano playing at the great Exhibition, says Of
these Pianos: Il must say that they equal the
best Pianos made by any firm 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
drawing"

ments. Don't fail to write for illustrated and

river, through the part OF Nebraska

found on the river a. good for & bridge
