Liquid

Cottage Colors.

The best =MIXED PAINTS= manufactured. Guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction if properly applied. They are _heavy bodied_, and for work that does not require an extra heavy coat, they can be thinned (with our Old Fashioned Kettle-boiled Linseed Oil) and still cover better than most of the mixed paints sold in the market, many of which have so little stock in them that they will not give a good solid coat.

Some manufacturers of mixed paints direct NOT to rub out the paint, but to FLOW it on; the reason being that if such stuff were rubbed out there would be but little left to cover, would be transparent. Our Cottage Colors have great strength or body, and, like any good paint, should be worked out well under the brush. The covering property of this paint is so excellent as to allow this to be done.

Put up for shipment as follows: In 3-gal. and 5-gal. bailed buckets, also barrels; in cans of ⅛, ¼, ½, 1-gal. and 2-gal. each.

A. S. Barnes & Co.

are pioneer publishers of Hymn and Tune Books for congregational singing! The first was Mr. Beecher’s famous “Plymouth Collection,” of which a hundred thousand copies were sold. The last and best is President Hitchcock’s “Carmina Sanctorum,” which presents the result of thirty years’ experience in this line of publication. It contains but 746 hymns, set to the best music, with complete and scholarly indexes, and in bold, handsome type. Names of authors and composers, with dates, are given on every page with each hymn and tune, adding great interest and value to the service of song. The book is making rapid headway. Not less than thirty churches have taken it during the last few weeks. One thousand churches are using the older books by the same editors. For returnable samples, specimen pages, and descriptive circulars, prices, etc., address the Publishers,

Ditson & Co’s Sunday-School Music

ranks with the very best, and no Sunday-school management should adopt a new Singing Book without carefully examining one of their “tried and true” =Sunday-School Song Books=.

=Voices of Praise= (40 cts., $4.20 per doz.) Rev. C. L. Hutchins. Music and poetry dignified and classical, but not dull; in fact, bright and enthusiastic. Very large collection for the money.

=Singing on the Way= (35 cts., $3.60 per doz.) by Mrs. Jewett, ably assisted by Dr. Holbrook, whose noble compositions are known and loved in all the churches. This, like the book above mentioned, does excellently well for a Vestry Singing Book for prayer and praise meetings.

=Songs of Promise= (35 cts., $3.60 per doz.) J. H. Tenney and Rev. E. A. Hoffman--the first highly gifted, musically, and the second the author of many hymns of refined and beautiful quality. One of the newest books.

=Song Worship= (35 cts., $3.60 per doz.) L. O. Emerson and W. F. Sherwin, both celebrated compilers, composers and leaders, and the latter well-known as having had charge of the music at many Chautauqua meetings.

For other good books, please send for lists and catalogues.

For a lovely little book for the young children of a Sunday-school, look no further than FRESH FLOWERS (25 cts., $2.40 per doz.), Emma Pitt. Sweet Hymns, Sweet Music, Pretty Pictures.

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.
