Since onr former advertisements appeared, we have decided to give the readers of 
the American Agriculturist a higher grade of goods than those heretofore adver¬ 
tised. Not that the others did not give perfect satisfaction, but we feel that the new 
designs (made expressly for this trade) will, in quality and finish, be more desirable, 
and well worth the small advance in price. 
All sums over $1 should be sent in Registered letter.

plete satisfaction. Table can be set at any angle desired, or 
lowered to good position for writing. Makes a nice table for 
an invalid. Cutting-board for the ladies. None of your little

“Model Piano.” 
PRICE $150 to $200. 
The “Model” is a beautiful little Upright or Cottage 
piano; it is manufactured from the best materials that can 
be procured ; the workmanship is excellent, and its durabili¬ 
ty is guaranteed; it is small, light, and occupies but little 
room, is easily transported, and above all the “ Model ” is 
sold at about one-third the price that is usually paid for any 
other reliable piano. For the above reasons, it is very suit¬ 
able for people of moderate means, and those living in small 
houses; but it is especially adapted for beginners, and on 
account of its low price, commends itself to every parent, 
because it possesses all the principal features of the finest 
piano, and lias none of the numerous disadvantages of the 
reed organ. , . _ .
