DECKER & CO.'S

IVORY AGRAEjFE BAR

PIANOFORTES. Warebooms- No. 2 Union Square, oor. 14tb st. and4th av

Those Instruments are celebrated throughout the coun j try, and are distinguished for their

SINGING QUALITY; VOLUME AND PURITY OIF TONE;

SYMPATHETIC, ELASTIC,

EVEN TOUCH;

DURABILITY OF. CONSTRUCTION,

AND BEAUTY OF FINISH.

Decker and Company's Pianos have always received the First Premiums, whenever and wherever they have com peted with the most celebrated makers in this country.

OUR IVORY AGRAFFE BAR ij an invention, beautiful in its simplicity and wonderful in its practical effects. It is the most compact Agraffe ever invented, and its influence upon the tone is to ren der it mellower, rounder and more clearly brilliant, while it utterly overcomes that sharp, metailic quality, which disfigures the instruments of all other makers.

Wliy "We Excel, While other Pianos are rarely in tune,

The Decker & Co.'s Pianos invariably retain their Pitch and Tone.

Whilo other Pianos are made of poor or unseasoned materials, ,t .,. .,

The Decker Pianos conibine the Best Materials, SkiUfid WorJananship, and Scientific Constinction.

While other Pianos are deficient in the great requisites of a good touoh,

The Decker & Co. Pianos have a flexibility widw skillful manipulation, which not only adapts ihem to the style of every performer, but which causes the placer to feel en raport with the Instrument, and affords his laste and fancy free expression.

It is a Fact?That philosophy of construction is not less important than fitness of material.

It is a Fact?That various minute, unobserved appli ances, adaptations and improvements, have an influenre in the tone, durability and manipulative character of a Piano, in no degree inferior to the. more ostensible modi fications.

It is a Fact?Therefore, that science, as well as expe rience; artistic discrimination, as well as methodic care; capital, as well as conscientiousness, are requisite in tho production of a GOOD PIANO-FORTE. In our

Ivory Agraffe Bar Piano-Forte is exhibited the result of an uninterrupted, persevering regard for these facts and principles; and purchasers who have so often spoken of the uniformity of excellence*in our Instruments will bo led to understand how this sup. - nority and uniformity has been attained?a result which is apparent to even ordinary judges, in the volume and richness of tone, the sustained and human character of their singing quality, while connoiseurs and critios fully endorse all that we have adverted to.

The unanimous opinion of the boat artists and tho most reliable critics is, that

THE DECKER <fcf COMPANY'S IVORY AGRAFFE BAR PIANO-FORTE

IS THE ONLY SQUARE PIANO-FORTE, Which

IN VOLUMINOUS SONORITY, AND POSITIVE SOLIDITY OF TONE,

Can stand comparison with the BEST GRAND PIANO-FORTES MADE.

Every Piano is warranted for Seven Years.

United States Mutual Piano-Forte Association. {Chartered According to Jict of Legislature.)

This Association is chartcrod for the purpose of furnishing its members each with a Piano-Forto of the first class, with all the modern improvements at the cost of manufacture?to be paid for in monthly instalments of $10. All funds, as fast as received for subscriptions or otherwise, to bo invested in Piano Fortes; whioh at least once in each month are tobe dstributed to such members as will pay the highest premiums for possessions o an instrument at onoe, the said promium to bo paid on delivery of the Piano-Forto, after whioh only $10 per month will be required, until the instrument is paid for at the original cost.

Non-subscrihors of the Association who wish to avail themselves of its advantages in getting its Piano-Fortos can do so by paying in cash the cost of an instrument and an advance of $40.

By the foregoing it will bo seen:

1st That you are sure of getting a first-class Piano-Forte?warranted in every particular?at the lowest pos sible price?say at $360, whioh class of instruments are generally sold at $600.

2nd. That you can get an instrument costing $3"0 at once by paying a small premium of perhaps $30 to $30, and the installment of $10 per month afterwards until tho $360 is paid, which is less than an instrument of the ame class can be rented.

3d. That there can be no risk, as all moneys are invested in Piano-Fortes as fast as receivod, which axe dis tributed to the subscribers monthly, hence it is one of tho safest institutions in the country.

4th. That one-half of the premium paid for the immediate possession of the instrument, will probably be suffi. oient to pay all expenses?offlce-hire?advertising?printing, and interest on money advanced, &o.

6th. That as all the funds for premiums and profits on instruments sold to non-subscribers, after paying ex penses, go into the general fund?consequently, as it belongs equally to evory subscriber, those who chooso to wait for their instrument will receive credit for their share or si id funds which will accumulate monthly until, perhaps?before the expiration of three years, thoy will be entitled to an instrument at less than one half or one quarter the original cost?besides making it oae of the best of investments for small sums?as tho shares will inorease from 10 to 15 per cent, annually?a large interest?and rendering them always saleable

Subscription Books are open at the Office of the Association, CLINTON
