pany cannot sell insurance at loss t han cost or It will 
soon run Into bankruptcy. On the other hand, it Is

upon the hope f having the surplus returned as 
"dividends.’’ such hopes arc seldom realized. 
Oluurlv, ili" simplest and most business-like way 
Is to purchase lor cash --a fixed rate of premium for

This Isa combination of capitalists to supply the 
consumers of Teas throughout the United States on 
the mutual principle. 
We have experienced agents in all the best dis¬ 
tricts of China and Japan to select Teas especially 
for our trade. 
We expect every consumer of Teas o render us all 
the assistance they can in carrying out our enter¬ 
prise, as we make a specialty of SUPPLYING CON¬ 
SUMERS ONLY (and allow no middlemen to make 
any profit on our importations), which will malde 
us to supply them with Teas at prices lower than 
have ever been known, and ot those fine qualities 
tin t seldom reach the interior, being sold only to 
the large cities and among the very wealthv. 
Hoping the consumer will take an interest in our 
enterprise, and send at once for a circular with full 
explanations of how to proceed to obtain our goods, 
we remain, 
Most respectfully yours,

TH K 
Mason £ Hamlin Cabinet Organs 
ure of established reputation us tite best instru¬ 
ments or tu cot class in THE WOULD, and have 
DEMONSTRATED THEIR SUPERIORITY Ut HUNDREDS 
OFCOMPAUISONSi having A1 W AYS RECEIVED HIOII- 
E8T award a ut industrial Competition*, and espe¬ 
cially having obtained the FIRST MEDAL AT 
PARIS IN 1807,nnd TWO HIGHEST MEDALS and 
DIPLOMA OF HONOR al VIENNA in 1873; and 
having obtained the public preference of the most 
eminent musicians in the world, testimony 
Irom hundred* of whom i* printed. They are the 
only American Organs which have ever obtained 
any medal or even diploma at a World's Fair (and 
they have obtained highc«t premium whenever ex¬ 
hibited at such); the only organa commanding a 
wide sale In Europe, and the only ones selected 
by distinguished artist* for their concerts In this 
country. 
To person* (d tnualcal cultivation the superiority 
of those organs Is not only obvious but material. 
Itextendsnot only to present excellence, but equally 
to durability and freedom from liability to get out of 
order. It Is derived from superior skill In construc¬ 
tion and the employment of improvement* found irt 
no others. The 
PRICES ARE BUT LITTLE HIGHER 
than those of Inferior organ*. Tin* i* because the 
immense demand for their organ* enable* the Mason 
X Hamlin Co. to employ machinery and avail them¬ 
selves of facilities which would not be possible in a 
small business, by which they not only obtain better 
work, but greater economy of production. 
Notwithstanding these fact* 
DEALERS IN ORGANS FREQUENTLY 
REGOMMEND OTHERS as BETTER, or 
AT LEAST AS GOOD and CHEAPER, 
The simple reavoc for this Is that I hr temptation to 
ileaUre to tru to sell the art icle on lelilch they are offered 
the largest discount or eonwilsdOn is ALMOST IRRE¬ 
SISTIBLE. Men who do not wl*h t«j be biased In 
their Judgment,or unfair In tlielr recommendations, 
will be Influenced by pecuniary Interests'. 
Of course, makers of poor organ* can afford to 
make tu dealers larger commissions than makers of 
the best. It is. indeed, an expedient of manufact¬ 
urer* of poor Instruments to print In their price-lists 
enormous price* for their organ*, fust in order to 
make to tUolertf and others great discounts. Some 
organs are currently sold at seventy-five per cent, 
discount; that la, aiOne-ijuaiter thrir printed prices. 
As a general rule, the poorer the organ the higher 
the price printed for It, and the greater the discount 
offered. 
The Mason 4t Hamlin Organ Co. pursue a different 
plan. The least remunerative profit is added to 
every style of their organ*, and this Is the fixed 
PRICE. PRINTRII IN THRIR PRICE-LISTS AND (NVA- 
KiAiii.i:. Upon llieco prices, only such small com¬ 
mission can be allowed dealers as will barely re¬ 
munerate them for their expense and labor. We 
know of un other organs on which dealers do riot get 
larger commissions than on the Mason A Hamlin. 
Asa result they are strongly tempted to recommend 
other organs as equal or even better, or In some way 
more desirable. 
The difference In value between the best organ 
and an inferior one 1* very great. One will continue 
to please, and tend to educate the ear correctly, 
while the other will not; and one will outlast the 
other several times. 
Purchasers who are unable to obtain a Mason & 
Ilamlln Cabinet Organ from a dealer or agent in 
their vicinity, ean purchase directly from the Com¬ 
pany, and In every such case the best organ on hand
