BESLEY =»'» Manv hundreds of our neighbors and friends have ptircAn'S&l one 6f these superb instru- ments'within the last twelve rears, *ind the twelve year old Kstey's ire worth more than nn>' other organ that is sold in t hi^ section KKW. They are the linest toned organ iu the world, and the only organ that imnroves with use. You may ask, why can't oilier leakers make as good ,># an organ as the Estey? Thi 4 secret remains with the Estcys, their patents and luveiituns- ' { which cannot be used bv anv other maker, They nave entirely overcome the difflrulty ot ~ ' feeds losing their oualfty and fbiiiiig with|]use, and have produced u.reed which posoesses a lite like and musical! Q uality of Tone, Found in no Other Organ Having had nearly twenty years experience in selling and repairing organs, 1 claim to know something about an organ, and I should like to give ;>onie advice to any one who « onteniplates buying au instrument and would try, in liie flistpiact to advi.-e you a Unit the slops in an organ. I lind iu a great majority of <°i>set> tiiat the tirst question askeil by a purchaser is: How many stops has your organ? Now to show you how uniniportnn't that if, 1 will tell you that au Ksley Organ, with two sets of reeds, of live octavee each, is saying it has 12:! reeds, 01 notes, and requires only seven stops, but can use only nine at the most. Some of the lower grades i-f organe of diilerent makes advertise their organs as having ten sets of reeds and twenty-seven stops, when, in fact, they only contain 122 reeds or notes, and can only use nine stops, legitimately. I have a circular trom an eastern factor), advertising these or- gan-i as having teu octaves ot reeds, which means two sets of five octaves each, or 122 reeds or notes. Now I would ask any one why the twenty-seven stops are put into au organ which lias but 122 notes and can only use nine, if not to deceive the pure,baser, w ho, as a rule, knows but little aliont an instrument twi­ ll ic reason that he is buying the tirst organ. You tell a farmer that you have a mower th-t has thirty-two sickles, and when he investi­ gated it and found it had but two sickles ef sixteen sections each, you would say it was intended to misrepresent the mower, so I say of the organs thatadvertise twenty.seven stops and ten sets of reeds. It is done to mislead. 1 advise any one buying au organ to buy the EsteT, Of Brattleboro, tor several reasons. First: It is the liest made organ before the public, consequents will last-the longest. Second: It is the best tone. Thiru: It has the best ac. tion--is the quickest to respond to the bouch, therefore, the quickest music writleu can be P'ln pr<H>f of its durability I will, w ith permission, refer to some of the pers ons who hav» the Estey in use the longest time: > ° t»rm.
