THE GROVESTEEN & PULLER PIA.NO CO. :
GENTLEMEN : It is with pleasure that I inform you
the upright piano purchased of you some months
since is highly satisfactory, and everybody is sur-
prised with the beautiful and nicely-finished case.
The action is light and elastic, quick and sure, the
powerful, sweet and even tone throughout the scale.
And I do not wonder that this piano is a favorite
wherever known.
"The work must praise the master." You will
surely meet with the greatest success.
Yours truly,

MESSRS. B I L L & CARR :
GENTS : The Peloubet Company, of Bloomfield,
N. J., have nearly completed the largest organ ever
built with reeds. It is built on their reed-pipe plan,
and the power, variety and effects are marvellous.
No comparison can be made between these organs
and the ordinary cabinet organs. They are emphatic-
ally a new departure, and destined to bring the reed
organ to the front as an instrument for artists and
musicians. All interested are invited to inspect it at
their factory.
MOBILE, ALA., NOV. 28, 1886.
MESSRS. BILL & CARR :
GENTS: Trade light and general depression
throughout cotton belt. Not over three-quarters
crop, and prices low. Many merchants will have to
carry the laboring people through the winter, or
there will be much suffering. I look fora light trade
in pianos and organs during the next twelve months.
More tha.n one-half the people living South are
colored, and three-quarters of them are very poor
and unable to buy. We would be a very happy people
down hero, but we have been turned bottom side up,
and find it hard to regain position We will all have
an Estey piano and organ.
