New Scheme of Easy Payments 
FOR 
MASON & HAMLIN 
The MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN COM¬ 
PANY have arranged a new system, under 
which they now offer their well-known Organs 
For Rent, with Privilege of Purchase, 
at prices and on terms extraordinarily favor¬ 
able. 
Payments may run through one to four 
years. 
All Rent which has been paid allowed and 
deducted on Organs purchased and paid for 
within one year. 
An Organ may be returned after six 
months at cost of only reasonable rent, if for 
any reason it is not wanted longer. If an 
Organ be retained, and rent paid four years, 
it becomes the property of the party 
hiring, without further payment. 
Organs will be rented on this plan to any 
part of the country accessible to our ware- 
rooms or agencies. Only knowledge of the un¬ 
rivaled excellence of our Organs, and practical 
experience that they will be found s» attrac¬ 
tive in use that scarcely any of them will ever 
be returned, warrant this offer to supply them 
on such terms. 
' Terms of Renting, containing full 
particulars, with descriptions of Styles, 
Rents, and Prices; also, Illustrated Cat¬ 
alogues and Testimonial Circulars, seut 
Free. Address
