"We think the machine much morethan PATS FOR IT- 
SFLF EVERY YEAH in the saving of garments ! We con- 
sider It Important that the Wringer be fitted with Cogs, oth- 
erwise a mass of garments may clog the rollers, and the roll- 
ers upon the crank-shaft slip and tear the clothes, or the 
rubber break loose from the shaft. On r own is one of the

Wo havo from time to time presented tho testimony of a 
larjfo portion of the moat eminent Orgtnllta and Artist* In 
tho country to tho (treat merits of our 
CABINET ORGANS 
and to tho fact that they exrH Other Instrument* of Mn-lr 
class. Annexed arc extract* Iroin a iVw EfoUCAfl Of the I'ross: 
" The Highest Accomplishment of Indus- 
try in this Department." 
"Foremost among ail American makei 
son & Hamlin, whose CABINET ORGANS BOH 
the highest accomplishments of Industry In tbll department 
Taking for their starting point, more than u-n yeai ago, tbfl 
remembered melodeon, with its thin, sharp tone, they have 
gone on, Btep by step, until they have reached a position be- 
yond which the enlargement of Seed Orj nan not, fin 
present, be advantageously contlnned. Leaving toothers 
the manufacture of Instruments of smaller compass, they 
havo given all their energies to producing the best possible 
specimens of the class they advertise, and it Is nothing more 
than truth to say they have succeeded. This Is not only our 
opinion, bnt tho unanimous verdict of the Organists and .Mu- 
sicians who havo examined these Organs, and have often 
subjected them to long and severe tests, and whose names 
have been signed by scores to the testimonials of favor which 
have been freely given." 
[Boston Dally Advi 
"The Universal Opinion of the Musical 
Profession." 
"That Messrs. Mason & Hamlin have succeeded In making 
a better small Instrument— from little bandbox-like things to 
those which, thongh portable, and not larger than a piano, can 
make themselves felt In a church— Is tho universal opinion of 
the musical profession. They agree that nosuch mechanical 
works of the kind can bo round In equal perfection In Ku- 
rope. The tone Is pure and full, and with an Immense body 
forsosmall a provocative force. They stand rough traveling, 
bad usage, and will live In climates that kill America 
slonarics." [New York Tribune. 
"Nearly Every Organist 
Note." 
"The Instrument known as the CABINET ORGAN is quite 
as great an Improvement upon tho melodeon, introduced 
some twenty years ago, or Its successor, the harmonium, as a 
concert grand plano-forte of to-day Is over the Imperfect pi- 
anos In vogue a quarter of a century since. The melodeon 
lost favor from a lack of capacity for expression. Its music 
was monotonous to a degree annoying to cultivated ears. 
The harmonium was an Improvement upon the melodeon, 
but still failed to satisfy to the extent demanded by Its use 
In chapels, school-rooms or halls, as a support to choral 
singing. Within a couple of years, Messrs. Mason & Hamlin, 
who have always taken the lead In this country as manufac- 
turers of reed instruments, have succeeded In largely over- 
coming the defects noticed In Instruments of this class. An 
Important modification Introduced Isthc Automatic Bellows- 
Swell, by which the performer is enabled to produce tho 
softest tones, or to awaken a volume of tone second only to, 
and In point of musical quality fully as fine as that derived 
from superior church organs. • • * The favornble testi- 
mony of nearly every organist or pianist of note In this coun- 
try, together with that of certain distinguished foreign au- 
thorities, has forestalled our appreciative comments upon 
the excellence and value of these carefully made instru- 
ments." [New York World. 
" So Effective and Beautiful as to meet 
the Desires of the Most Refined 
■ and Fastidious." 
u A glorious Instrument for the temple service, 60 readily 
secured aB to bo available for any congregation, and 60 effec- 
tive and beautiful as to meet the desires of the most refined 
and fastidious admirers of appropriate music. * • * With 
your eyes shut you can not distinguish its sound from that 
of the pipe organ, and the advantages that commend It are: 
Its price— for it can be had for one, two, three, or four hun- 
dred dollars, according to the size you wish ; It Is not affect- 
ed by heat or cold, or any change of temperatnro ; It remains 
for a long period in good tune; and lastly. It can be sent by 
express or otherwise any distance, with safety."

1 Singular Unanimity." 
"Induced by these considerations, we have been strode 
pains to ascertain what instrument, of the manyfftow solicit- 
ing the public favor, combines the greatest amount of real 
excellences. We have prosecuted this e^ulry entirely In- 
dependently of aid or direction from Interested parties. 
The opinions of some of the best musical critics, composers 
and performers have been obtained; reports of experiments 
made in the ordinary use of various instruments In churches, 
schools and families have been compared, all of irhftSh,n 
singular unanimity, concur In assigning the flrst place m 
the Cabinet Organ of Mason & Hamlin— a decision that cor- 
responds with our own previously formed convictions, re- 
ceived from personal observations."
