•jVTASON AND HAMLIN'S /CABINET QRGANS. Just Landed, Tw_nty-Five of these Fine Instruments. the superiority Of the Mason and Hamlin Cabinet Organs is derived, not only from peculiar skill in construction, especially in votctng, and the extraordinary excellence of material and work3ianship employed, and tha pos session of the most extensive and complete machinery and facilities for manufacture in TnE world, but also from the exclusive use OF IMPORTANT INVENT-ONS. The most valuable improvements in such Instruments ; those which have been chiefly instrumental in bringing them to their present popularity and usefulness, have been efpectkd by those now associated in this company. Tho art of voicing reeds, the most difficult and impor tant process in the manufacture of such instru ments, was discovered by Mr Emmons Hamlin, of this Company, and has been brought to highest perfection in these organs. Having it as their earnest ambition to produce tho best instruments ok the class in the world, they have been eager to obtain the use of?ovory valuable invention, wherever made; and their extensive business and ample means have enabled them to succeed in this endeavour. WHAT MOST DISTINGUISHED SINGERS SAY __ There can be no more critical judges of quality of tone than the most eminent singers of the world. In New York and other principal cities the Mason and Hamlin Organs are always selected for use in the Operas and Concerts. We give the judgment respecting them of many of the most eminant singers who have visited Amerioa. From Mile. CHRISTINA NIL9SON and other Members of the Strakosch Opera Company. We take pleasure in recommending the Mason and Hamlin Cabinet Organ as a very beautiful instrument, and consider it the best now in use. Christina Nii^son, Annie Louise C&ry, Marie Leon Duval, Victor Capoul, P. Brignoli, &c., Sec. From THEODOR» WACHTEL, Tenor to the Farepa-Rosa Grand Opera Combination, AD. NEUENDORFF. CARL ROSA and C. SANTLEY. We heartily recommend the Mason and Hamlin Okgans as the best instruments of the class made. They have more power and greater smoothness and fulnesß of tone, with equality and uniform character throughout their registers. __ Theodor Wachtel, An. NEUENDORFF. Carl Rosa, C. Santlky. From CH. GOUNOD, the distinguished Com poser of "Faust," who having used the Mason and Hamlin Cabinet Organs in his concerts, writes as follows to the Agent for these organß in Ixindon. Allow me, in thanking you for this organ which you have placed at my disposal for my series of concerts, to express my very favorable opinion on the charm of this instrument, the tones of which, both delicate and full, combine so well with the voice. I do not doubt that the Mason and Hamlin American Organ will be of excellent and valuable use in all vocal or instru mental combinations of moderate limits. CH. GOUNOD. Tavistock Honse. From Dr. J. STAINER, Organist o |St. Paul' Cathedral, London. Dear Sir.—l have been very much pleased with your (Mason and Hamlin) American Organs on all occasions on which I have had to play upon them. Their tone is remarkably pure and free from reediness, and their touch all that could be desired. Yours truly, J. STAINER, Mus. Doc. From JULIUS EICHBERG. Direotor of Bost o Conservatory of Music. In quality of tone—the chief excellence in such instruments—l think your Organs decldely excel all others; and that in the various other characteristics requisite in a good instrument, they are deserving of equally high praise. Indeed, I am led from experience to believe that the more ciitically they are tested and compared, and the more competent the judge, the mere certain and 'high will be the moed of superiority awarded them.

There is much being made just now by some persons in the Clothing Trade about supporting Local Industry, but SAMUEL COOMBES Challenges any House in the Trade to Shew that they Employ as Much Local Labour aB he does (that is Auckland Labour), and Money spent elsewhere than in Auckland might almost as well be spent in London, as far as we in Auckland are concerned. Samuel Ctoombes MAKES THE BULK OF THE CLOTHING HE SELLS! In fact, the Bulk of the CLOTHING SOLD at the CITY CLOTHING MART ia Manufactured on the Premises ! The only important exception being Geelong Tweed, or Australian Tweed Goods, which are manufactured in Melbourne, and as SAMUEL COOMES Has made Large Contracts in Melbourne for those Goods, enabling him to sell them Much Under Wholesale Prices !!! The 27s 6d and 303 being fully 20 per cent, under what a much inferior article would cost in any Wholesale House. _®" One Trial will suffice to prove this fact. In the TAILORING DEPARTMENT, SAMUEL COOMBES Has Completed, since the 29th of May, 1877, 4726 Measurements ! These Figures speak for themselves. JUST OPENED: 200 GALATEA JACKETS, 10/6.
