In reply to the question, “How Long will it Last?” 
we can only say, “ As long as a wash-tub, cooking-stove, or 
any other family utensil.” See testimony of Obange Judd. 
“ We think the 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.”

Bp [N. Y. Observer 
We have from time to time presented the testimony of a 
large portion of the most eminent Organists and Artists in 
the country to the great merits of our 
CABINET ORGANS 
and to the fact that they excel other Instruments of their 
class. Annexed are extracts from a few Notices of the Press: 
“ The Highest Accomplishment of Indus¬ 
try in this Department.” 
' “ Foremost among all American makers stand Messrs. Ma¬ 
son & Hamlin, whose CABINET ORGANS now represent 
the highest accomplishments of industry in this department. 
Taking for their starting point, more than ten years ago, the 
remembered melodeon, with its thin, sharp tone, they have 
gone on, step by step, until they have reached a position be¬ 
yond which the enlargement of Reed Organs can not, for the 
present, be advantageously continued. Leaving to others 
the manufacture of instruments of smaller compass, they 
have 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, but the unanimous verdict of the Organists and Mu¬ 
sicians who have examined these Organs, and have often 
subjected them to long and severe tests, and whose names 
have been signed by Bcores to the testimonials of favor which 
• have been freely given.” 
[Boston Daily Advertiser. 
“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, though portable, and not larger than a piano, can 
make themselves felt in a church—Is the universal opinion of 
the musical profession. They agree that no such mechanical 
works of the kind can he found In equal perfection In Eu¬ 
rope. The tone is pure and full, and with an immense body 
for so small a provocative force. They stand rough traveling, 
had usage, and will live in climates that kill American Mis¬ 
sionaries.” [New York Tribune. 
“Nearly Every Organist or Pianist of 
Note.” 
“The Instrument known as the CABINET ORGAN Is quite 
as great an improvement upon the melodeon, introduced 
some twenty years ago, or Its successor, the harmonium, as a 
concert grand plano-IOrte 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 Is the Automatic Bellows- 
Swell, by which the performer is enabled to produce the 
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 favorable 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 
tlie Desires of the Most Refined 
and Fastidious.” 
“ A glorious Instrument for tlie temple service, so readily 
secured as to be available for any congregation, and so 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 yon wish; it is not affect¬ 
ed by heat or cold, or any change of temperature; it remains 
for a long period In good tune; and lastly, it can be sent by 
express or otherwise any distance, with safety.” 
[New York Observer. 
“ Singular Unanimity.” 
“Induced by these, considerations, we have been at some 
pains to ascertain what Instrument, of the many now Solicit¬ 
ing the public favor, combines the greatest amount of -eal 
excellences. We have prosecuted this enquiry 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 which, with 
singular unanimity, concur in assigning the first place to 
the Cabinet Organ of Mason & Hamlin—a decision that cor¬ 
responds with our own previously formed convictions, re¬ 
ceived from personal observations.”
