The McHenry Brick Manufacturing Con pany are now ready to supply Brick infatia.i- titles v IE0M SMALL "2Tou Should Euy thd E33tey. Many hundreds of our neighbors and friends have' purchased one of these superb i nstru ments within the last twelve vears, nnd the twelve yci'rold Ehtcy's ire worth more than any other organ that is sold i i this section KKW, They are the llncst toned organ in the wo- Id. and the only organ that improves with use. You may "ask, why can't other makers make as good; an organ as the Estey? This secret remains with the Ksteys, their .jatents and inventions--'- which ennnot be used bv anv other maker, They nave entirely overcome ihe dilUr\iIty of feed.« losing their quality and failing with use, and liuve produced a.reed which possesses a Ule like and musical Quality of Tone, Found In no Other Organ, naving had nenrly twenty years experience in soiling and repairing organs, I claim to know something about an organ, and 1 shuulil like to give some a"vice to any one who • onlemptates buying an instrument and would try, in the fiistplapc to adrii-eyou about tlie stops in an orgiiu. 1 dud iu a great majority of ci<e>es that the lirst question asked by a purchaser is; How many stops has your organ? Now to show you how'unimportaiit that i?', I will tell you Hint an Ksley Organ, with two sets of reeds, of livt octaves each, is saying it has 122 reeds, 01 notos, and requires "only seven stop*, butcaiw use only nine at tire most. Some of the lower grades of organfof diflerent makes advertise; their organs as having ten sets of "eeds 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 from an eastern factory, advertising these or­ gan*. as having ten octave* 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 an organ which lias but 122 notes anil can only use nine, if not to deceive the purchaser, who,as a rule, knows but little abput an iustrunieit lor the reason tliui lie is buying tho lirst organ. You tell a fanner that you have a mower th-'t has thirty-two sickles, and wlieu he investi­ gated it and found it bad but two sickles of sixteen sections each, you would say it was intended to misrepresent tho mower, so I say of the organs thatadvertlse twenty-seven stops ami tea sets of reeds. It is done to mislead. I advise any one buying an organ to buy the Estey, of Itrattleboro, tor several reasons. First: It is the best made organ before the public, consequently will last the longest. Second: It is the best tone. Third: It has the best ac. tion--is the quickest to respond to the touch, therefore, the quickest music written can be played on it. . . In proof of its durability I will, with permission, refer to some of the persons who have tho Estcy in use the longest time: -4TO-- --DEALER IN- Drugs, Medicines, Paints, Oils, Toilet Articles.
