mercial facilities enjoyed by the city
Of Watertown, we find that among its
contemporaries the above named
pOrtant. The distinction is accorded

the most reliable concerns engaged in
this line of business, but in the magni-
tude of its operations and the enter
prise of its business policy. The stock

the hardware line, comprising in part
shelf and heavy goods, builders sup
plies, mechanics tools, screen doors
and windows, wagon materials, barb

and most improved machinery and
appliances required in the service and
an extensive trade is done supplying

What is there in life more delight
full than the sweet music rendered on
well toned and properly constructed
pianoP We answer, Nothing" Music
is the great enchantress, that dispells
all melancholy thoughts from our
minds and awakens our most happy
emotions. Of course, the charm of
music greatly depends upon the instru-
mems upon which it is produced, and
no matter how fascinating selection
may be, if rendered on an instrument
of inferior grade, it loses all it's admir-
able points. The surest way, there
fore, for purchasers is to deal wholly
with such houses as make a speciality
of the best manufactured. For illus
tration, in this city leading dealer
is S. B. Fuller. He sells the cele-
brated Shaw piano, which, for sweet
ness of tone, lightness of touch and
elegance of finish cannot be surpassed,
and which may be seen in the parlors
of many of the best families in this
city and surrounding section. He
handles the popular Packard organ
and other good makes of organs and
pianos. At these musical parlors can
be seen the largest stock of these in
struments in rosewood, mahogany,
walnut, antique oak, birds eye maple,
ETC., ever shown in the city, and at
extremely low prices. Every instru-
ment sold is warranted, and if not
satisfactory, may be exchanged If
patrons SO desire, these goods are sold
on installments, or rented on the most
liberal terms. Here also can be found
a complete line of Butterick's paper
patterns. Mr.. Fuller also deals extern
sively in sewing machines and sup
plies, making speciality of the Domes-
tic and Standard machines, the repu-
tatiOns Of which are too well known to
need any word of commentator.
There is no house in the city engaged
in similar lines better qualified in all
respects, and none more deserving of
universal prosperity. Mr.. Fuller cor
daily invites musicians to make his
musical parlors their headquarters
when in the city. svr
