THE SMITH AMERICAN ORGAN CO. have now com¬ 
pleted their TWENTY-FIRST year of business, with a con¬ 
stant and still increasing growth. As the manufactory is 
one of the oldest, it also ranks among the highest in the 
country. During the long experience of the manufacturers, 
they have steadily added to the capacity of their instruments, 
and have availed themselves of every method to -improve 
the quality of tone, and to increase the mechanical facilities 
for the performer. And though they expect to continue the 
course of improvement, they are abundantly satisfied with 
what lias been done, and with the estimation in which their 
instruments are held by good judges of music. 
As heretofore, they will use 
THE BEST MATERIALS, 
without regard to cost, and give to every organ the 
Most Thorough Workmanship. 
They especially invite comparisons as to the quality and 
volume of tone, and as to effective mechanical appliances. 
They call attention to the fact that their organs are sold AT 
EXTREMELY LOW PRICES, as low as is charged for 
many of an inferior sort. Having a large and thoroughly 
appointed manufactory, employing none but skilled work¬ 
men, and having made a minute division of labor, they are 
able to produce organs at less rates than most competitors. 
They believe, also, that among other things they have 
earned a reputation for fair dealing, and they would assure 
distant purchasers that no organ will ever leave their ware- 
room, WITn THEIR KNOWLEDGE, that is not in every 
respect perfect of its class. 
As they have before stated, they intend to secure 
A IFa-seiid m Eves’y IPiarctoaser. 
%* Their catalogue, with full descriptions and accurate 
engravings, will be sent free to any address upon application. 
All necessary information cheerfully furnished.

Respected Friends: In reply to your inquiry as to what 
wo think of the Averill Chemical Paint, we have used in our 
Society at Mount Lebanon some 1,COO gallons. IVe are very 
much pleased with it, and until we are convinced that there 
is something better, shall give it the preference of all other 
paints. We have used heretofore the (-), (—), and most 
all other brands of white lead, neither of which have given 
us perfect satisfaction. Most of it would chalk off after be¬ 
ing on some two or three years. This, after three years’ 
experience, we do not find to be the case with the Averill 
Pure White Chemical Paint. Indeed,.it appears just as well 
as when first put on. I will write you again on the subject 
when I am not in quite so much of a hurry.

“Dooley's Yeast JPoicder.” 
The superiority of this Baking Powder has long been 
demonstrated by every housekeeper who has used it, and 
from the steadily increasing demand for a reliable article. 
The universal expression is that it is the best in the market, 
and its perfect purity and freedom from deleterious sub¬ 
stances warrant the assertion. To those who have never 
used it, we say give it a trial, and your testimony to its 
worth will he added to the many thousands of others. Sold
