THE VENEER FRUIT BASKET. 
Patented 3Iay 31st, ISGA. 
We offer to the trade 
for the year 186.5, the 
celebrated Veneer 
Fruit Basket, 
which h.as been so 
extensively and sat¬ 
isfactorily used the 
pastseason. To those 
who have used it, it 
recommends itself; 
to others we claim 
for it superiority 
over the many kinds 
now in use for the 
following reasons: 
It is broad at the bot¬ 
tom and not easily 
This Burner can be filled, trimmed, and lighted without 
removing the chimney or unscrewing the Burner. 
It is not clogged by crust. It gives the be.st light, and pro. 
duces no odor. The short chimney is seldom broken by 
heat, and can be easily cleansed. The Burner can be fitted 
to all ordinary lamps. 
An attacliment of small cost gives ready means of heating 
water, making it invaluable in the nursery or sick room.

TffiE AIJT@MATI€ 
In presenting the Automatic Organ, we boldly announce 
the greatest triumpli in musical instruments of the age. 
During the past half century, tlie Frencli and Germans have 
manufactured reed instruments with double bellows, and 
two pedals for the feet to operate, but the want of tlie re¬ 
served or Exhaustion Bellows, (which is tlie only bellows 
used in our instruments), made it impossible for them to 
produce the mellow, rich and musical tone for wliich our 
instruments are celebrated. 
Another objection to tins method of blowing was that, 
both feet being occupied, no opportunity was offered for the 
management of the swell. 5Vitliin Hie past two years, instru¬ 
ments constructed on the European plan of "double blow¬ 
ers,” liave been manufactured in tills country, and to coun¬ 
teract this difficulty (want of a swell) a lever has been pro¬ 
jected from Hie centre of Hie Instrument, to act upon Hie 
swell, and operated by Hie knee. The inconvenience and 
contortion necessary to effect tliis object are disiigreeahle 
cnoiigli to a geiiHemaii, but to a lady Hie use of sucli an ap¬ 
pendage is nearly impossilile. 
Our Aiffomatic device obviates Hie difficulty entirely. Hie 
simple act of lilowing with more or less force giving Hie de¬ 
sired increase or decrease in the volume of tone. 5Vc pre- 
liict for tills invention a brilliant future.

For seventeen years Hie superior excellence of our Melo- 
deoiis lias not been questioned, and for two years past the 
enormous demand lias made it impossible for us to meet our 
orders promptly. 5ViHi our increased facilities, we feel ivar- 
ranicd in assuring our patrons tliat their orders will be 
promptly met, and solicit a continuance of their patronage.

Opinion of Orange Jinlcl, EIsq., Kditor Amcr> 
ican Agricultnrist. 
It is, in reality, a Clothee Saver! a Time Saver! and a 
Strength Saver! We think tlie macliine more Hian pays for 
itself every year, in tlie saving of garments! Tliere are sev¬ 
eral kinds, nearly alike in general construction, but we con¬ 
sider it important that the Wringer be fitted witli COGS, 
otlierwise a mass of garments may clog Hie rollers, and tlie 
rollers upon Hie crank-shaft slip, and tear Hie cloHics. Our 
own is one of the first made, and it is as good as new. after 
nearly four years’ constant use !
