MASON & HAMLIN

IMPROVED

UPRIGHT PIANOS

With their Improved Method of Stringing.

PATENTED JULY 24, 1883.

CHARACTERIZED BY

BRIGHTEST, PUREST TONES, GREATEST DURABILITY, IMPROVED METHOD OF STRINGING.

The Strings being directly secured to the iron frame by metal fastenings will not require tuning one-quarter as often as Pianos on the old system.

This new mode of piano construction, invented by Mason & Hamlin in 1882, has been fully proved, many excellent experts pronouncing it the “greatest improvement made in pianos of the century.”

WARRANT.—_Each piano will be accompanied by the fullest warrant. Determined to achieve the very highest reputation for their pianofortes, should defect develop itself in any one, the Company will be more eager to correct it than the purchaser can be to have them._

Pianos can be rented, if preferred, at moderate cost, with privilege of purchase.

MASON & HAMLIN

ORGANS

THE WHOLE WORLD SAYS:

At every Great World’s Exhibition since 1867, these organs have been awarded the Highest Honors.

Supplied to Her Majesty Queen Victoria.

Used in Westminster Abbey.

Used in St. James’s Hall.

Always used by Ira D. Sankey.

After having used a Mason & Hamlin Organ eight years at Corisco Island, off the western coast of Equatorial Africa, the Rev. C. De Heer, Missionary, writes:

“This is the only organ, American or European, that has not gone to pieces within six months after its arrival.”

OLD SOUTH CHURCH, BOSTON, Feb., 1887.

We have used _Laudes Domini_ at our weekly services, Friday evenings, for nearly a year. Our people regard it as a great success.

S. CARR, JR., Organist. REV. GEO. A. GORDON.

“Dr Robinson has been, of all our hymn and tune book makers, the most successful.”

—REV. LYMAN ABBOTT, D.D.

“_Laudes Domini_ is one of the latest, and one of the very best of the many good hymn-books produced in the present generation, a book as nearly perfect as that most eminent of all hymn book makers, Dr. Charles S. Robinson, can make one.”—_The Congregationalist._

“If we were conducting a ‘gospel service’ of many days’ continuance in any church having this hymnal, we would not care to introduce special hymn-books”.—REV. DR. GEO. F. PENTECOST, in ‘_Words and Weapons_’.

Responsive Reading Services are bound with _Laudes Domini_ when desired.

Dr. Robinson’s Hymn and Tune Books are not experiments. Churches adopting them are never disappointed.

“SPIRITUAL SONGS FOR SOCIAL WORSHIP” never fails to give satisfaction in the Prayer Meeting.
