MUSIC GIVEN AWAY! 
Or $50 worth of New Musie for $3, 
Purchasers of Music arc constantly paying; from si to TO 
cents for every piece of music they buy. This is a waste of 
money which no family can afford, for by paying SO cents for 
a copy of "PETERS' MUSICAL. MONTHLY" 
you will pet from Four to Five Dollars' worth of the latest 
and best Music, by such authors as Hays, Thomas, Kinkcl, 
etc., and not cheap Music cither, for each number is printed 
from full-size Music Plates, on line, white paper, and neatly 
bound. 
"PETERS' MUSICAL. MONTHLY"" is issuort 
on the first of every month, and subscribers can rely upon 
getting from twelve to fifteen times its price in really good 
Music. We employ our best composers by the year, and 
give in our Monthly only such of their pieces as we think 
will best please the musical public, for even the best writers 
sometimes fall in their efforts. 
"PETERS' MUSICAL MONTHLY" is issued to 
introduce our new Music to the musical world. We have, 
therefore, limited our circulation to 100,000 copies, believing 
that a larger monthly edition would defeat our ends— name- 
ly, the after sale of the Music in sheet form. THEREFORE 
REMEMBER that any subscriber, after our limit of HO.OdO 
is reached, will have to pay $25 per year, whereas ock 
PRESENT PRICE IS ONLY $3 PER YEAR. 
Sample copies mailed on receipt of SO cents. Pack num- 
bers supplied. Your news-dealer will order them for you 
and supplv von regularly each month, but your beat plan is 
to let us mail them direct to von. 
No matter where you see a piece of Music or Music Book 
advertised, it can always be had at our establishment, anil 
will be mailed to you, free of pontage, on receipt of the mark- 
ed price. Address
