[Deceh-ber, 
4:64: 
twenty reasons 
foe bitting a 
Mason & Hamlin 
CABINET ORGAN. 
1. It is the BEST iNTESTMBNT you can make; Safer and 
■bringing greater returns than money.loaned at interest or 
Invested in bonds or lands. 
2. It will render home attractive, and savelmore expensive 
andlless beneficial amusements. 
3. Its music will cultivate good feeling, and have the best 
Influence. 
4. It will enable your sons and daughters to learn to play, 
and so give them a valuable accomplishment. 
5. It will give them facilities to qualify themselves as 
teachers of music, which is as good as a trade or profession. 
Thousands of ladles are now pleasantly supporting them¬ 
selves by teaching music, which they learned merely as an 
accomplishment. If your daughter has some aptness for 
music you would better give her a good instrument srow, 
and encourage her to learn to play on it than to give her 
thousands of dollars some years hence. 
6. It will be a pleasure and comfort to yourself during the 
long winter evenings. 
7. It will last a life-time, and yon will value it more and 
more highly. 
8. It is easier to learn to play on than a piano-forte, and 
costs much less. 
9. The Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs are THE BEST 
Instruments of this class in the world. 
10. This is proved by the testimony of the best judges. 
They have been awarded highest premiums at OVER SEV¬ 
ENTY industrial competitions, including the FIRST PRIZE 
MEDAL at the WORLD’S EXPOSITION at PARIS, this 
year. In their circulars M. & H. print the testimony of more 
than three hundred of the best musicians in the country 
that their instruments excel all others. When one who 
wislies to sell you an instrument claims that it is recommend¬ 
ed as the best by hundreds of the most distinguished organ¬ 
ists, ask him to show you their testimony. If it has ever been 
given, he will have it in print. 
11. Compare the instruments made by M. & H. side by 
side with any others; compare them critically and tlior- 
ouglily, tone by tone, and you can not fail to see superiority 
in many respects. 
12. These instruments are the only ones having the cele¬ 
brated A'otomatio BBLnow's Swell, the most important 
improvement in reed instruments for twenty years. 
13. They are the only instruments having Patent Self- 
Adjtjstiko Reed Valves, and the various other patented 
improvements of Mason & Hamlin. 
14. They are the only reed Instruments having' clothed 
mortices. 
15. Compare the exteriors and observe that the instru¬ 
ments of M. & H. have the best quality of ivory; ivory 
fronts to the keys; real ebony and not merely colored black 
keys; desks made in the most substantial manner of three 
separate pieces of wood, glued together, and not liable to 
break, &c., &c. This thoroughness of workmanship, and use 
of only best material, runs througli the whole instrument. 
16. The thoroughness of construction of these instru¬ 
ments gives them the GREATEST DURABILITY. They 
are not liable to get out of order.

17. They will improve by age, getting even better in qual¬ 
ity of tone. 
18. THEY ARE THE CHEAPEST INSTRUMENTS OP 
THE CLASS; not the lowest priced, indeed, though the dif¬ 
ference in price between these and inferior instruments is 
not great. It costs a little more to do the very best work, 
but is cheapest in the end. 
19. It is not safe to trust to the judgment of dealers, who 
are tempted to think those instruments arel the best on which 
they can make the greatest profits. M. & H. have fixed their 
prices so low that they cannot afl'ord to pay tlie large com¬ 
missions given to dealers by makers of inferior work. 
20. Every instrument made by Mason & Hamlin is fully 
v/arranted. If it proves defective you can suffer no loss, 
as their guarantee is above question.
