48 Choice Pieces 
FOR 50 CENTS. 
Every number of Richardson’s Musical 
Hours contains 12 choice pieces, by the best 
composers of America and Europe. The monthly 
is elegantly printed, has an engraved cover in 
two colors , and is an “ ornament to any Piano." 
There are no advertisements scattered through its 
pages, but the music is entirely separate, and 
thus can he bound at anytime into a book. The 
selections comprise. Songs with Chorus, Ballads, 
Comic Songs, Waltzes, Polkas, Galops, Schot- 
tisches, Marches, Mazurkas, Nocturnes, etc., etc., 
all of which can be played on the Piano or Organ; 
in fact, just the pieces you would purchase at the 
Music Stores for 35 or -10 cents each. Now we 
have sold many thousand single numbers at 25 
cents each, but in order that every player in the 
United States and Canadas may see the Magazine 
and judge of its merits, we will send it post-paid 
four'months for only 50 cents. Each number 
contains 12 35c. pieces; thus you receive 48 
post-paid for only 50 cents (cash or stamps). 
Eight months (96 pieces) for $1 00. Owing 
to the expensive manner in which Musical 
Hours is issued, we cannot afford to send sam¬ 
ple copies.
