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 its“lf to every parent, 
because it possesses all the principal features of the finest 
piano, and has none of the numerous disadvantages of the 
reed organ. ,,
