J. Chickering’s and Nunn’s and Clark’s
PIANO FORTES,
FOR SALE BY
BRUNO &. VIRGINS.
rO IHE PUBLIC.—It is with reluctance that we
feel ourselves called up m to expose some oi the
‘ humbuggery *’ which has for some time past been
lttempteu upon the public credulity, by a rival dealer
in the sale of Piano Fortes in this city. He has how
ever provoked the exposure by his clap-trap devices
to gain business at the expense ot his competitors, and
is therefore entitled to thut notice which we propose
to bestow upon him.
In the matter at issue concerning Mr. Herz’s choice
of a Piano, we are not at all surprised that Mr. Forsyth
does not exactly recollect the circumstances as they
occurred in our store, inasmuch as it was ol little or
no importance to him at all. He willtheretore excuse
us for dep nding rather upon our certain recollections
of an incident which was important enough to us to
make an impression upon our mind,than upon his im
perfect recollection of the same, even had we no rea
son to suspect a bias of mind on his part i < favor ol the
man who is his teacher in instrumental music. Wheth
er the Piano used by Mr. Herz while here was a six
or seven-octave, is not very material. It was one cho
sen by him after he had tailed to get one ol Uhicker
ing’s seven octave instruments from us, and which he
was most anxious to get through our means, we having
sold the last of that kind a lew days belore to a gentle
man of this city. For further proot that Mr. ti. was
not satisfied w ith the instrument ot which Mr. Reps
makes such boast, Mr. Sivori (Heiz’s partner) the next
morn ng after their Concert, spoke of its perlonnanee
in a veiy diff-rent light lioin mat represented in thead
vei tenement ol Mr. Reps We can also prove by our
cleik then with us, that Mr. IL-rz did not sit down
and try our instruments, but played with one hand on
a Geitnan Piano which stood in the front part of our
store, and which we after some time opened f r the
gentleman! From the company with whom became
into the store, W“ knew that a preference w-ould be
given to tin instrument from Mr. Reps’s establishment
if one could there be obtained near equal to any we
then had on hand, and therefore we advised Mr. H. to
go to Air. Reps, which he accordingly did. But it is
idle lor Mr. Foisyth or Mr. Reps to say that Mr. Hera
dm not first seek one of Chickering’s seven-octave Pi
anos, belore puttiug up with the six-octave he after
wards used. If our competitor’s willing witness “ un
derstood” Mr. Hera to prefer” the one used, before
all others, why solicit from us the use of Chickering’s
seven-octaves, at all—and why request us to get tor
him tire use ot the one we had just sold ? The public
can answer these questions to their own satisfaction.
Having thus disposed of this small matter, we pr~
ceed to notice a lew of the “tricks’ of which our como
p<r titor has been guilty since he commenced his present
business in this city.
A gentleman liked a Foreign Piano which was in
our store, and mentioned the tact to Mr. Reps. The
latter told him that we had sold one exactly like that
to Mr. Forsyth, who had used it only a year or two,
and was then willing to sell it tor half price! Now’
Mr. Reps never saw the Piano which was in our store,’
and he lias shown his ignorance by saying that a Piano
with the English (most durable) action, such as that
was, was exactly like the one of the Vienna, (a very
light and pleasant) action. He might as well have said
that light and darkness were exactly alike ! This
was trick No 1 intended to injure us, although it is
well known that we have always, tor obvious reasons,
r.-.used to warrant foreign Pianos which were sent
lous i-yat.ienU without out order.
I no* No 2.—consisted in advertsing a“Caution”
loihepuui. t look out, lest they should be cueated
in the purchase of Gibert’s Pianos unless they were
sure the name of T. Gilbert Cos. was on the instru
-ueiii. We were selling the insiruuients of Lemuel
Gilbert at me time, winch- was a uiflerrent concern
irom that ol his brother, (ifibert! The object ol
this trick was to create the impression that, we y.'cie
selling cnuuterfeit instruments and ot inferior quality
to those sold hy Mr. Reps, altiiouglt the instruments ot
L x, T. Glib rt were both ranked in the 3d class by a
committee of mechanics who were apjrotnted to ex
amine Pianos, at the Third Exhibition ol the Mussa
cini-etts Charitable Mechanic Association, in 1841
see Report ol the Association for that year, page 86
where it will also be seen that Chickering’s Pianos
were ranked in the first cl iss, and won the gold medal.
Sucii are some of the devices which have been prac
ticed to injure our business, but wiiich have so iar fatl
as our trade is on the increase and we can and do sell
the best Pianos at less profit than any other establish
ment. Mr. Reps himself has recently boasted that he
made more profit from the sale ol one Piano than we
had from the sale of three, on the same day—and he
probably made a correct statement this time ifhe never
did before !
In conclusion, we do not deem it necessary to say
one word in recommendation of Nunn’s &. Clark’s and
Chickering’s Piano Fortes which we keep on hand for
sale. Neither do we tneantosay any thing against the in
struments sold by Mr. Reps. Ad we want is a lair and
honorable competition. Let our neighbor do all that he
can to extend his business, by fair means, and we shall
not complain. YVe have no desire to injure him, or we
“ ight have done it hy accepting an agency pioilerred
to us to sell the Pianos kept by him. Neither do we
envy his success, tor we have sold three Pianos to his one
and more since he commenced than before, because a
greater tiade is brought toa place where tiiere is com
petition than where one house is supposed to hold an
exclusive monopoly of an article. But we are deter
mined no longerer to submit, in patienae, to the
the many sly movements which he aid his friends
may set on loot to aggrandize himself at the expense of
truth justice and candor. BRUNO & VIRGINS.
P. S. We have a lew words to say to another individ
ual who has so opportunely and quite accidentally, ol
course, come to the aid ol Mr. Reps. Dr. O. P. Laird
having one “ Grand Piano” of Mr. Hera’s manufac
ture tor sale, seems to think that our recommendation
ot Chickering’s and Nunn’s & Clark’s Pianos, and our
statement that Mr. ii. on one occasion used Chicker
ing s instead ot his own, in Boston, were calculated to
injure the saie ol his property, and has therefere kindly
informed the public that Mr. Herz only did so out of
compliment to Mr. Chickering ! —Very well: he was
probably sincere in the compliment, and if so, it shows
that Mr. Hera was manly enough to acknowledge
merit, even though lound in a competitor. So iar,
then we were correct in our slat, mem oil this point.—
As to any attempt to prevent the sale of tiie Doctor's
piano, we plead not guilty. Tne article is not as salea
ble as others better known. Even the name of the
“ Pianist of his Majesty,” the exiled King ol the
French, around whom certain gentlemen “ who know”
all about music, danced tteiuiunceso gracefully when
Mr. H. was inour city—asmunutaiurer ot Pianos, has
so iar failed to elicit a single order through us in tour
teen years. Why, then, should Dr. L. suppose that
the lady, to whom he expected to sell his instrument,
was influenced by us to send elsewhere for a piano ?
Let him ask that lady, and he will discover the fact
that we knew nothing of her purchase or intention to
purchase in New York, ot Nunn’s & Clark, until we
had received notice that the instrument wa* shipped to
our care,and we were expected to put it up for the
owner, w-hen it arrived. We are, however, unwilling
to admit that Mr. Hera, who is a composer ot music
residing in New York, can make any better instru
ments at his manufactory in Paris, France, than can
be furnished by us of American construction. The in
strument of Dr. L. is probably a good one. It may
be “ A. No. 1,” but it will not sell any the sooner
because the owner puffs it beyond measure. It will
speak lor itself, Doctor.il its voice has notbeenim
paired by old age, or some oilier vital disease to with
such things are subject, especially if beaten unmerci
fully ! ‘ B. &, V.
l_f - To show the public what is the character of
Chickering’s Pianos at the North, we append an ex
tract Irom the Report of the Committee ol the Charita
ble Mechanic Association ol Massachusetts, lor the
year 184 4. And what is there said of Chickeriug’s
Pianos may also be said of Nunn’s & Clark’s of New
Y’ork The latter stand No. lin that city, For sev
eral years N. C. have not sent Pianos to the ex
hihitions, but always received th c gold medals, when
i they did send. Bee Report ol above Association tor
the year aforesaid, page 126, tor the following :
“ There is one manufacturer, Imw. ver, (No, 755,)
wit i-e instruments take precedence of all the others,
wirr: s<> unquestionable a preeminence, that the coin-
I i.,nice lilt not me slightest hesitation in recommending
the award, to him, of a Gold Medal. And this they
did, on two grounds ; not only for the decided superi
ority ol ins Sqire Pianos, which, it isno exaggeration
to say, ma\ oeteai essiy placed in conpetition with the
best that Europe can produce. Mr. CutCKERLNa’s Pi
anos, ol both kinds, are ol so delightful a tone, so deli
cate action, and so firm and enduring construction,
that lin-y need no medals to give them celehrity ;and
it might seem superfiuous to give encouragement tootle
wiio has already received the highest commendations.
But the committee were appointed, not simply to give
encouragement to any peisons but to decide,according
to their ability, upon the relative rank of the instru
mets presented to them; andi t would be nothing sliort
ol glaring injustice to lay aside the claims ot the instru
ments acknowledged to he the best, because tiie maker
jof them had always produced the best. So much the
more does tie deserve the highest reward tor his skill,
enterprise and industry ;,es|)ecially when he is seen to go
on, diligently and steadily, in the course ot imp ove
ment, and Ins competitors find, when they arrive at one
point —where he has long stood before them—that he
has reached another, and that without more than com
mon speed, they cannot overtake one, who unites, with
all their ambition, a preserverance which may be
equalled, but not surpassed. Mr. Chickering’s manu
iacture is an honor to the community, iu the opinion of
the committee ; and they woutd omit no proper op
p.ortuiiity of bearing testitno y to an excellence, which
makes tnem feel more proud ot their city.”

Columbus, Jan. 20, 1849.

& Virgins have called on me to testify in a matter of
difference between you ; at least without; consulting my
lecollection ol the facts lam cited to prove. Had they
consulted me, I should not now have to say, that ihe
testimony of my recollection does not support their
“ correction of a false statement.”
The facts are simply, that at tiie requ est of Mr. Herz,
I went with him to iioili establishment?—yours and
Messrs. Bruno & Virgins—and alter trym g several in

* BRUNO Sc VIRGINS.
HAVE now on hand a large assortment of splendid
Piano Fortes, Irom the celebrated Man utiic
tories of Nunns & Clark, and J. Chickering. .Also,
Pianos with Coleman’s much improved At
tachment with tuneable Reeds. Our stock at pre sent
consists of Eighty Rosewood and Mahogony erased
PI a NOS, (Macon and Columbus, Ga., Montgomery,
Ala.) and we are continually receiving new, additions
to our stock.
All ot the above Instruments will be sold very lo\ v
for cash or approved notes. Every Piano sold by us,
will be warranted lor one year—and can be returned
should any detect be found in the instrument.
Also, tine American and French Piano Covers and
Stools, to correspond with the Piano.
BRUNO & VIRGINS take this opportunity to cor -
rect a false statement which has been made in two
of the Columbus papers, viz; “That Mr. Herz, when
he gave his Concerts here, had used and preferred a
Bacon ty Raven's Piano to all others in this city ” —
by which the advertiser intends to make the public be
lieve that Bacon & Raven’s Pianos are superior to
Nunns & Clark’s and Chickerings which we keep.
YY’e deem it due to our customers and the public gen
erally to say, that Mr. Herz first called on (with Ylr.
John Forsyth) and wanted one of .Chickering’s seven
octave Pianos ;we had sold the last one of’ this kind
two days belore the arrival ol Mr. llerz to a gentleman
in Columbus. Mr. Herz wished us to see the gentleman
and get the instrument ior him—which we refused to
to do, for reasons that we exjilamed to him. Knowing
that Mr. Hera's Concert music is arranged lor seven
Octave Pianos, we said to him that “ perhaps Mr. i
Reps could accommodate him with a 7 octave Piano,”
* inch he did. Sou iii; -nerj tii.it Mr. Herz acci- !
deiilanj got ihe u c oi u iLicuo ot. Raven’s Piano in
stead ot Chickering’s which lie preferred. Mr. John j
Forsyth, who was with Mr. Hera, can testily to the j
above statement.
Mr. Herz has always preferred Chickering's and
Nunn’s and Clark’s Pianos. YVhen he gave Ins Con- ;
certs in Boston, he used a ChicKernig’s grand Piano
and left his own Piano at the Hotel. And he ought to 1
know.
There is now in this city one of Nunns & Clark’s 1
splendid Grand Piano Fortes, which was purchased
last summer lor SIOOO, and was selected by an eminent
Professor of Music; at the same time Nunn &, Clark re
ceived an order tor one at $1600! In a Boston paper we
read an account ofa Piano made by Chickering lor the
Hon. Caleb Cushing, for S2OOO ! (or $2200, we forget
which.) Phis is the truth, and no “ ujiper teiD’ hum
bug-
By such instruments the manufacturers prove that they
can satisiy the most particular customer.
11l a tew days we shall have some of Chickering’s
and Nunn’s&, Clark’s low juiced Pianos, which we
sell here, with stool and cover, lor $250.

BIGOTRY and infatuation are the ruling passions
ol mankind, even in highly cultivated circles very
often. When evidence a thousand mile from home is
preferred.it is a sure indication ot the old adage, that
the “ importance of the thing is increased by thedis
talioe.” At no period or in any country, is this truth
more verified, perhaps, than at the South. New York,
for instance ; furnishes three-fourths of the quack nos
trums ot the country, very few of which, have any stand
ing at home. Boston and Philadelphia, the medicine
under the assumed name of Wistars Balsam of Wild
Cherry by two rival hous s, for there is really no such
a man putting up the article, or ever has been.
Dr. Little nresents his Anodyne Cough Drops, to
Georgia and the South, with evidences at home in doz
ens of cases. t its being far su|terior to either ot the
i Balsams of Wild Cherry, by those who have used both
jor any other before offered. Independent of those.
| see the many statements that have been recently pub-
I lished, besides his pamphlet. In add tion, he hereby
’ guarantees that it any case he prescribes them tor
(Cough's Golds, Consumptive diseases and Asthma,j
I and also,croup, whooping cough, and inflamatory fever j
I amongst children) is not cured in half the time, over
ar.v a id ad other remedies before the public, that he
will invariably return the money paid for it (titty cents
per bottle) to the purchaser.
Dr. Gorman wiio was long a member of the Medi
cal Board of Georgia, stales thus :
Macon, Nov. 1, 1848.
Dr. W. G. Little— Sir: Concerning youi Pharma
ceutical Medicines, as you ask my opinion ; I will state
that I have seen niui know enough of your cough drops
to say, that they are the very best lever knew. How
ever violent or deep seated cough- and irritations of
the lungs may be, my experience is that this remedy
will effectually control or cure them in a very short
time.
I find your Vermifuge to fully answer the purpose in
relieving children of worms without any tiling else to
follow. It would be very advantageous for families to
use frequently on mere suspicion that worms exist.
Prom your long experience m the practice of medi
cine and extensive engagement in the Drug business, I
doubt not but all your compound medicines (Pharma
ceuticals) are in advance ot any thing offered to the
public. Yours, &.c.

From one ol the most repectable farmers of the coun
try, read the following case, which was witnessed by
the whole neighborhood :
Jones County, Ga., Dec. 1848.
Dr. G. W. Little— Dear Sir: It is with heartfelt
gratitude, that l inform you, your Anodyne Cough
Drops saved a child of mine from the grave. He was
attacked with the pneumonia, as the doctor who at
tended him a w eek called it, without being able to ar
rest it. By this time he had become prostrate, mid
from the violence of the cough and fever, was expected
to die constantly. In this situation we discontinued all
,;tber medicine and began with your cough drops, the
first dose indued him much, and alter repeating it a few
tinn e the connh nn.‘ lever subsided, leaving hun calm
and tranquil, for the* first .i.'.-e since the attack The
medicine was continued, and attef 21 hours use, we
considered him out of danger. From this time, he
improved repidly, and soon recovered. In two other
cases in my family i proved highly beneficial in curing
coughs and colds. I have use,i your vermifuge with a
great advantage in a number of cases.
In future, I intend keeping a supply of your Family
Medicine on hand, as well as advise my friends to the
same course. Very respectfully yours, Ac.

THE business heretofore carried on in the name of
C. A. ELLS and Mr. CREDIT, expired on the
first of January by the statute of limitation, it having
existed over three years. Mr. Credit having become
so very disagreeable and at the same time so intimate
with many of our customers of late, that it created se
rious apprehensions in our mind (or the future result—
and torelievp myself, I have come to the cnnclnsii n,to
associate with me in my future business. Mr CASH,
who is pleasing in all his ways and cannot tail to give
general satisfaction to all. lam induced to thiseourse
injustice to my numerous patrons icho pay their ac
counts punctually —for a man that selis goods on a cre
dit in order to sustain his business, is obliged to charge
for them at least lit per cent more than he could afford
to sell them for Cash, in order to make up his losses by
bad debts, thereby charging bis good customers 1C per
cent extra to pay the depts olh’9 bad ones. Another
injury, many persona with long running accounts are
apt to buy many things during the year that they could
well get along without, and would not buy if the cash
was to be paid down for them, then take into const..'ora
tion the expenses ofextra clerk hire, buying and keep
ing books, making out bills, time spent in dunning—
alf having to be pnid by the Consumer, which proves
that ail cash customers pay too much for their Goods,
When I embarked in my present business, I was de
termined to build up a market in our city equal to that
of the Seaboard, for all /7s luxuries which was much
desired by our citizens, and to effect that, I have
spared neither pains, money nor labor, otten during
the cold winter months at midnight may we be found
at the depot, watching the arrival of the cars from Sa
vannah, which daily come freighted for our store.
The Central Rail Road and Line of Steamers to New
York, has afforded me great facilities to accomplish
nty object—how far I have succeeded in building np
such a market, I will leave it to my numerous patrons
to decide, to whom 1 feel under lasting obligations
for their generous patronage. We intend to continue
the same ttu-iness with as energy as ever,
but upon the Cash principle, wffiicfi we hope will meet
with the approbation of our customers, for we are sat
isfied that we can give them satisfaction, for we intend
to sell Goods astonishingly low for Cash. I rannot
any longer subscribe to the principal of robbing Peter
to pay Paul, which is the result of selling goods on cre
dit. Jau 17 42 C A. ELLS.
