It has been stated that 
40,000 ORGANS 
(presumably *' Cabinet Organs") are sold annually— tome 
where ; which we thliik Is nearly the whole number of all 
eorts of reed organs made In the United States. But over 
40,000 AMERICAN ORGANS 
are in use, and we are constantly extending our facilities for 
manufacture. The Smith American Organ Co. is the 
oldest among New England makers, having been In business 
*ver twenty-one years. Our organs arc distributed over the 
elvilized world, and arc everywhere recognized as 
The Leading Instruments. 
English manufacturers, wishing to commend their wares, 
advertise them in large type as 
AMERICAN ORGANS! 
While we believe in BRAINS, MU- 
SICAL FEELING, and CULTI- 
VATED TASTE, and think that such 
a combination will not be beaten, in the 
production of artistic works, by any 
quantity of planers, borers, and jig-saws, 
we nevertheless avail ourselves of every 
practical expedient to save labor, by em- 
ploying machinery to do such work as 
does not require intellect for its perfec- 
tion. There is no establishment that uses 
so many 
INGENIOUS LABOR-SAVING MACHINES. 
Our large capital— equal in amount to that of any compet- 
ing company— enables us to purchase ample supplies of 
THE BEST MATERIALS, 
and to give thorough workmanship and completeness to 
every part of our instruments. And for this end we mean 
to Becure the most 
Intelligent Supervision 
in every department, and especially to produce the most 
BRILLIANT AND MELODIOUS TONE. 
Our prices are as low as those of any instruments that pre- 
tend to a comparison in quality. 
TVe shall be glad to send our new 
RED-LINE CATALOGUE 
to any address upon application.

Letter Received from Levi Shaw, Trustee 
of tlie United Society of Shakers. 
Mt. Lebanon, N. Y.. Sept. 27th. 1871. 
Respected Friends : In reply to your inquiry as to what 
we think of tlie Averill Chemical Paint, we have used in our 
Society at Mount Lebanon some 1,000 gallons. W* are very 
much pleased with it, and until we are convinced that there 
is something better, shall give it the preference of all otlicr 
paints. 'We have used heretofore the ( ), ( ), and most 
all other brands of white lead, neither of which have given 
ns perfect satisfaction. Most of it would chalk off after be- 
ing on some two or three 3'ears. This, after three years' 
experience, we do not find to be the case with the Averill 
Pure White Chemical Paint. Indeed, it appears just as well 
as when first put on. I will write you again on the subject 
when I am not In quite bo much of a hurry.
