The M. S. Wright Co., manufacturer of the pop-
ular Wright metal player action, has just placed
on the market a new metal action which will be

Fifth avenue, New York, is easily distinguishable
from the original Wright action, as several fea-
tures in the latter action are not embodied in the
new action.
George H. Beverly, sales manager of the M. S.
Wright Co., states that the new metal action has
won general praise from all who have tested it,
as it contains many features which make a very-
favorable impression.
