MASON & HAMLIN
IMPROVED
UPRIGHT PIANOS
With their Improved Method of Stringing.
PATENTED JULY 24, 1883.
CHARACTERIZED BY
BRIGHTEST, PUREST TONES, GREATEST DURABILITY,
IMPROVED METHOD OF STRINGING.
The Strings being directly secured to the iron frame by metal
fastenings will not require tuning one-quarter as often as Pianos
on the old system.
This new mode of piano construction, invented by Mason & Hamlin in
1882, has been fully proved, many excellent experts pronouncing it
the “greatest improvement made in pianos of the century.”
WARRANT.—_Each piano will be accompanied by the fullest warrant.
Determined to achieve the very highest reputation for their
pianofortes, should defect develop itself in any one, the Company
will be more eager to correct it than the purchaser can be to have
them._
Pianos can be rented, if preferred, at moderate cost, with
privilege of purchase.

OLD SOUTH CHURCH, BOSTON, Feb., 1887.
We have used _Laudes Domini_ at our weekly services, Friday
evenings, for nearly a year. Our people regard it as a great
success.
S. CARR, JR., Organist. REV. GEO. A. GORDON.
“Dr Robinson has been, of all our hymn and tune book makers, the
most successful.”
—REV. LYMAN ABBOTT, D.D.
“_Laudes Domini_ is one of the latest, and one of the very best of
the many good hymn-books produced in the present generation, a book
as nearly perfect as that most eminent of all hymn book makers, Dr.
Charles S. Robinson, can make one.”—_The Congregationalist._
[Illustration]
“If we were conducting a ‘gospel service’ of many days’ continuance
in any church having this hymnal, we would not care to introduce
special hymn-books”.—REV. DR. GEO. F. PENTECOST, in ‘_Words and
Weapons_’.
Responsive Reading Services are bound with _Laudes Domini_ when
desired.
Dr. Robinson’s Hymn and Tune Books are not experiments. Churches
adopting them are never disappointed.
“SPIRITUAL SONGS FOR SOCIAL WORSHIP” never fails to give
satisfaction in the Prayer Meeting.
