SPEAR’S PRESERVIXG SOLUTION 
Tlie MASON & HAMLIN C.VBINET ORC..VK3 arc nc- 
knoTTledged to be the best instrumcnU of tills class In the 
world. It Is the policy of these makers to produce none but 
the very bent work. They aim at success, not by uslnj poor 
material and economizing lu workmanship, so that their 
Instniinents can bo sold at a little less price; but by produc¬ 
ing the most durable, reliable, and lu all respects the best 
work possible, and selling It at the very lowest rates at 
which such work can possibly be afforded, and at tho same 
prices to all. 
Thej' now manufacture more than sixty different styles of 
Organs, varying In price from $75 to $1,000 each. These In- 
■trnments contain all the latest Improvements, some of 
which are not to be found In other Instruments, tho right to 
their exclusive nse having been purchased by JI. & 11., In 
some cases at very large expense. 
MASON & H.AMLIN have been awarded several times as i 
many highest premlnms, at Industrial Fairs, as any other 
maker, having recelve<l flriy-eix within a few years. 
They present In their Circulars the printed testimony of a 
large majority of tho most eminent Organists, I’lanlsts, 
Singers and Composers In the country to the superiority of 
the Instrnmcnts of their moke. 
It U certainly economy In purchasing an Instrnment of 
this class to ffet the beU, although the first cost may be a lit¬ 
tle more, as a poor Instrument will soon get out of order and 
become comparatively worthless. 
It should bo remembered that tho recommendations 
of dealers are not always reliable, ns there Is great tempta¬ 
tion for them to recommend those Instruments on which 
they can make tho largest profit; and makers of inferior 
work can afford the largest discounts. Mason & Hamlin have 
fixed their retail prices so low that Uiey can afford only very 
small discounts, at wholesale, and hence the temptation to 
dealers to recommend and ecltf>thcr instrnmcnts is great.
