Read this, Musicians and Music
Lovers. Business has rushed us
the past year 50 that we could not
post you, as usual, through our
advertisements, and to make
amends, we here give few solid
facts well worth taking in.
Ludden & Bates Son -hern Mu-
sic House is a Household Word
from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande. Who has not heard of
it? 1t is a Mammoth Music En-
yorium, from which Solid Mu-
sical South draws its supplies.
Eleven large Branch Houses and
over 200 wide-awake Agents dis
tributing its goods through every
Southern State, and its yearly
sales are nearly half a million dol
lars.
Founded fifteen years since, on
the Solid Bed Rock Of LARGE CAP
ITAL, ENTERPRISE and SQUARE
TRADE, 1t has stood, unshaken,
amid financial panics, pestilence,
cyclones and fires, and to ensure
its permanency for generations to
come, it has been incorporated as
a Cooperative Stock Company,
with a paid up Cash Capital of
100000, which is owned solely
by tie Officers and Employees.
The Officers are: w. Ludden,
President; J. A. Bates, Treasurer
and Manager, and J. d. Murphy,
Secretary.
Patrons are, therefore, as safe
in dealing with this House as with
any Bank, and need have no fears
as to its Permanency, Response
bility, or Guarantees. IT is SOLID.
