— large square prand overstrung scak — front round corners— serpen- 
tine bottom — Iron platc^ — French action — and are all warranted five 
years. Wo have no accents, and allow no commissions or dlsconuts 
to any one. This explains how we can sell a good Piano for $500, 
which is about the price Piano dealers pay to manufacturers for instrnmenta 
similar to ours, riano dealers are allowed by all manufacturers, except our- 
selves, to add 100 per cent., and upward, profit to all sales. This the public 
can prove by investigation to be strictly true. Fiauo dealers, teachers, pro- 
fessors, and everybody else, are excluded from any and every possibility of » 
single cent of commission on our Pianos. If you wish a Piano sent for trial, 
you must make the matter of reference and payment unquestionable ; and it" 
the instrument is in any respect inferior to any Piano made in the known 
world at any price, you may send It back to us at the end ol ten days' trial, 
Instead of paving for it. it you order a Piano sent, we have one request to 
make ; and that is, that the trial shall be made by parties who are not in- 
terested in other Pianos. Please send for our Circular* containing full par- 
ticulars and references to bankers, merchants, and families, in thirty-five*
