SPLENDID PREMIUMS!
An Organ for Nothing.
Jsmm*' !IIE Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs are
regarded as the best instruments of their
(Iclass in the world. Fifty-six gold and silver
(\i|P J medals, or other highest premiums, have been
awarded them at the principal industrial fairs
sos the country, and two hundred and sixty of
the most eminent musicians in the United
States have pronounced them “the best of
their class,” and recommend them as “very
admirable and desirable for both public and
private use.”
We have sold a number of these organs for use in
churches in Georgia and Florida, and they give univer
sal satisfaction. Now, in order to give every church and
Sabbath school in the country an opportunity of pro
curing one of these useful and desirable instruments, we

S3O in the purchase of any organ that may be selected,

For one hundred and fifty subscribers and S3OO, we will
allow a credit of slls on any organ selected.
For two hundred subscribers and S4OO, we will allow a
credit of $175.
There are over forty different styles of those organs,
ranging in price from S9O to SISOO, according to style ana
finish. The cut represents style No. 15, the factory price
of which is sllO. We supply them as low as they can be
purchased from the manufacturers, and will make the
above deductions on any organ selected from factory
prices ! These organs are fully warranted for live years,
and will be securely packed, ready for shipment, and de
livered at any railroad depot in Macon, free of cost to
