slightest difficulty. 
Also, new styles of Cabinet Organs in very ricli and 
beautiful cases, at extraordinarily low prices.

LOGUES, sent free to any address. 
It can hardly be longer necessary to advertise the quality 
of the Mason & Hamlin Organs, for it is scarcely disputed 
by any that they are the best in the world ; the 
VERY STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE 
among instruments of the class. 
Every purchaser may be sure that he is obtaining, in pro¬ 
portion to its size, capacity, style, and class, the very best 
instrument which it is practicable to produce. We are not 
afraid to warrant all our icork as up to even this high 
standard. 
But while the superiority of the Mason & Hamlin Organs 
is established, it is not so widely known that the prices are 
not higher than those of ordinary instruments. We offer 
the largest variety in the country—one to thirteen stops—at 
from $50 to $1,000 each. 
Every one interested should at least send for the ILLUS¬ 
TRATED CATALOGUE and CIRCULARS of the Com¬ 
pany, which COST NOTHING, being sent post-paid.
