when mere youth, we visited and were shown
over the Pcnitentiary Of Tennessee. 1t was one

end. Wo will certainly, on our first visit to
Columbia, avail ourselves Of his courteous offer
TO be shown through and examine his great un-

our readers who urc deSirous of adornine
their homes, to know that there has been in-
corporGtcd 10 New York stock co.. rnny with
cash capital of q quarter Of n million Of
dollars, for tho manufacture Of pianos, which
will be sold direct to the people at factory
prices. The name Of this company is called
the Mendclssuhn Piano Company. New York
They have built during the pas, year, one
of the largest and most complete manufacto-
ries in tho world. These pianos, including
grand, square and upright, made one of tho
finest displays ut the Centennial Exhibitiou
and we're unanimously recommended for the
diploma of honor and medal Of merit. The
MendclSsohn Piano Company are the irs: to
do general business with tho purchns cr
direct. saving him more than one h:lf the
price charged by other first class makers.
This saving is made by doing away with the
agency system and giving the people the
pianos Mt wholesale or agency prices. We
would recommend any of our readers who
have any idea of ever buying piano,,to
send for their illustrated and descriptive
catalogue, which will be mailed free to ALL
