MUSIC GIWBN AWAY! 
Or $50 worth of New Music for $3. 
Purchasers of Music are constantly paying from 30 to 30 
cents for every piece of music they buy. Tills is a waste of 
money which no family can afford, for hv paving SO cents for 
a copy of “ PETERS’ MUSICAL MONTHLY” 
you will get from Four to Five Dollars’worth of the latest 
and best Music, by such authors as Hays, Thomas, Kinkel, 
etc., and not cheap Music either, for each number is printed 
from full-size Music Plates, on line, white paper, and neatly 
bound.* 
“ FILTERS 9 MUSICAL MONTHLY 99 is issued 
on the first of every month, and subscribers can rely upon 
getting from twelve to fifteen times its price in really good 
Music. Wc employ our best composers bythcj'car, and 
give in our Monthly only such of their piece’s as we think 
will best please the musical public, for even the best writers 
sometimes fail in their efforts. 
“PETERS 9 MUSICAL MONTHLY” is issued to 
introduce our new Music to the musical world. Wo have, 
therefore, limited our circulation to 100,009 copies, believing 
that a larger monthly edition would defeat our ends—name¬ 
ly, the after sale of the Music in sheet form. THERE,FORE 
REMEMBER that any subscriber, alter our limit of lLOjOGO 
is reached, will have to pay $25 per year, wiieeeas our 
PRESENT PRICE IS ONLY $3 PER YEAR. 
Sample copies mailed on receipt of 30 cents. Back num¬ 
bers supplied. Your news-dealer will order them for you 
and supply you regularly each month, but your best plan is 
to let us mail them direct to you. 
No matter where you see a piece of Music or Music Book 
advertised, it can always be had at our establishment, and 
will be mailed t o you, free of postage, on receipt of the mark¬ 
ed price. Address
