An Enterprising House.
Such an establishment as Lndden A Bates
southern Music House needs no advocate.
It is a monument to thrift and enterprise, a
credit and advantage to the city in which it
is established, and to the entire South. The
firm require no words of praise—“By their
works shall ye know them,” and they can
be judged accordingly. “By their works”
we know Messrs. Ludden & Bates to be clear
headed, progressive business men, and good
citizens would be glad to see more such
houses, not only In Savannah, but through
out the State.

The Leading Music Establish
ment of the South.
Merchants who are not simply content
with accumulating fort unes, but who spend
money freely in improving and adorning
their places of business, and thus benefit
ting the business interests of a city, are
fairly entitled to public notice and com
mendation, and it is with pleasure that we
now speak of the business enterprise and
public spirit shown by the wide-awake and
reliable Music house of Lndden A Bates,
which has now the reputation both at. homo
and abroad of being the livest house in the
South in any line of business.

Messrs. LUDDEN A BATES:
My experience was that the Chiekoring
stood the Southern climate better than any
other I knew of. The first piano I had was
a Clnekoriug, in 1841. 4 used it for 29 years
and sold it after a thorough renovation for :
JlnO. It was the sweetest tone Instrument.
Price 84.50.
In 1870 iny uncle gave me anew piano of
(’bickering's make, price 8000. It is a fine
Instrument, and very sweet, toned, and If it
had not been lor hail repairing would still i
be extra fine. I am hoping to buy anew )
one next year. Wish to know If you think 1
uprights are ns easy to keep In tune as ,

UNSOLVED, That the sincere thanks of
the North Carolina Teachers’ Assembly ho
returned to Mess. Mason A Hamlin (Manu
facturers), Boston, Mass., and to their south
ern Agents, Mess. Ludden A Butes, Savan
nah, Ga., for the very tine Grand Piano and
Liszt Organ which they so kindly placed in
our Assembly Hall for use of the teachers
during this session of the Assembly. The
high quality and exceedingly sweet tone of
these instruments have contributed greatly
to the pleasures of this session of the As
sembly, they having been used in all of our
dally devotional exercises and on Sundays;
also in the musical entertainments and in
the Gold Medal Musical Contest. For con

passed by any other make within our 1

Gentlemen:—Your very kind letter of
inquiry dated Aug. 25th came duly to hand.
You referred me to Ludden A Bates, and
from this Arm 1 have purchased one of ftour
Jntnou* organ* for the church. The organ is,
as anyone can always expect, from one of
this make, genuine In every particular.
Nothing could Induce me to purchase any
other make while a Mason A Hamlin could
ho procured. My experience with yours and
those of others has long ago settled my
opinion ; buy a Mason A Hamlin organ ana
you have all that Is needed.
Thanking you gentlemen for your pains
taking in our oehalf, I am.
Very faithfully yours,
