Mason & Hamlin's 
CABINET ORGANS 
. The wide demand for our CABINET ORGANS has 
Induced dealers in some cases to advertise quite different 
instruments as CABINET ORGANS, and in others to rep¬ 
resent to purchasers that Harmoniums and other reed Or¬ 
gans are the same thing. This is not true. The excellen¬ 
ces of the 
CASMWIET 
which have given them their high reputation, arise 
not merely from the superiority of their workmanship, but 
also in large measure from essential differences in construc¬ 
tion, which being patented by us, can not be imitated by oth¬ 
er makers. From these arise their better quality and volume 
of tone, and capacity for expression. Every CABINET OR¬ 
GAN ha3 upon its name-board in full, the words, 
“Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organ.” 
When a dealer represents any other instrument as a 
CABINET ORGAN, it is usually a mere attempt to sell 
an inferior instrument on which he can make a larger profit. 
THIS CABINET ©fitGAN 
is designed for Parlors, Churches, and Schools, and is recog¬ 
nized by Musicians as unquestionably superior to all other 
small Organs, and every thing of tlie Mclodeon or Harmoni¬ 
um kind. Full description of instruments with testimonials, 
ssnt free to any address.

THE KEY NOTE. 
BY WILLIAM B. BRADBURY. 
This work is the result of Mr. Bradbury’s collecting and 
composing for several years, and is everywhere being re¬ 
ceived with the greatest favor by tlie most experienced sing¬ 
ers and musicians. The extent of Mr. Bradbury’s popularity 
may be judged from the fact that of his last book, tlie Jubi¬ 
lee, over Two Hundred Thousand have been sold, and of his 
entire works more than Two Millions. 
In addition to its rich collection of Tunes and Anthems 
the KEY NOTE has a great variety of Exercises and light 
Glee Choruses, suited to social or singing school use. It is 
plainly printed, one part only on a staff, and but two tunes 
on a page, so that the eye is not wearied by a succession oi 
thickly set notes; and in every particular it is believed tlie 
lovei-3 of good music at church and at home will And tlie 
KEY NOTE just adapted to their wants.

In reply to the question, “ IIow Long will it Last ?” 
we can only say, “As long as a wash-tub, cooking-stove, or 
any other family utensil.” See testimony of Orange Judd. 
“We think tlie machine much more than PAYS FOR IT¬ 
SELF EVERY YEAR 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. Our own is one of the 
first made, and it is as GOOD AS NEW after nearly FOUR 
YEARS’ CONSTANT^USE.” 
They are for sale in nearly every town in the country.
