u 
Model Piano.

PRICE $150 to $200. 
The “ Model” is a beautiful little Upright or Cottage 
piano; it is manufactured front the best materials that can 
be procured ; the workmanship is excellent, and its dunipili- 
ty is guaranteed; it is small, light, and occupies nut little 
room, is easily transported, and above all the "Modei, is 
sold at about one-third the price that is usually paid tor 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 rite principal features of the finest 
piano, and lias none of the numerous disadvantages ol the 
reed organ. , , , , ,
