from the celebrated manufactories of Baven Bacon
4 Co., Hazelton Bros., and A. H. Gale & Co., New
York, for whom they are sole Agents. These In
struments having already wcn such far-famed ce
lobrity. it is only necessary for us to repeat that for
.truength, darability and fiuish, together with powcr,
depth, socctcess and ioftuace of tune, they challenge
competition. 'ersotns wanting a Superior Piano
Forte, would do witch better to call and select from
a large assortment, than by dealing with Pedlars
und agents ot' inferior makers, where they have no
choice, and have often to pay higher prices for in
ferior Instruments, than fine ones of superior
makers can be bought for.
Every Piano Forte sold by us is warranted in
every respect, so the purchaser runs no risk what
ever. Persons ordering from a distance from us
can depend upon getting a GOOD ARTICLE, as
we make it a point to keep goods of the best quality
and such as we can recommend and warrant in
