THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW,
2l5
Important tri the Music Trade.
It affords us much pleasure to inform you that Mr. JOHN
A. Me LA
UGHLIN,
who has for the past thirty years been closely identified with The Smith American Organ &
Piano Co., has connected himself with us, and will in the futtere be found at our office, where
he will be pleased to see or hear from his ?nany friends and the Music Trade generally.
While we have ei>er striven to meet all the demands of a First-Class Music House, we
now feel that with so important a factor as Mr. McL. has proven himself to be, while asso-
ciated with the above Company, added to our already untiring efforts, must necessarily lend a
renewed impetus to our rapidly growing trade.
Assuring you that our best efforts shall be
used on your behalf, are we favored with your esteemed 01'ders.
We remain, yours truly,

THE MONARCH ORGAN.
DESCRIPTION.
In recommending the M o n a r c h O r g a n to purchasers, we desire to state
plainly and distinctly tivo claims which we confidently make.
FIRST.—The work both inside and out^ is strictly first-class. The cases are
solid black walnut elegantly finished, and the reeds, stop works and action are of
the finest material in every particular. We therefore claim that
The Monarch Organ is unsurpassed in workmanship.
SECOND.—The instruments contain fourteen octaves of reeds and twenty-two stops.
There are no " d u m m i e s " among these, as is often the case where a large num-
ber of stops are attached to an instrument. Every stop produces its effect. While
we do not claim that this Organ has more speaking reeds than any other of its
size, we do claim that it has more than most of them, and the peculiar and in-
genious manner in which stops are made to act as " mutes "and "combinations"
gives a variety which we have never seen equalled in an organ at double it price.
We therefore claim that the Monarch Organ is unequalled for beauty
and variety of tone.
