A town on its own line is one of the directory's headings. That is where the town on a maker's page comes from.

1THE OLD STANDARD MARTIN GUITARS THE ONLY RELIABLE 1833. Manufactured by C. F. Martin & Co. 1893. NO CONNECTION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE OF THE SAME NAME.
3For over sixty years the MARTIN GUITARS were and are still the only reliable instruments used by all first-class Professors and Amateurs throughout the country. They enjoy a world-wide reputation, and testimonials could be added from the best Solo players ever known, such as
4Madame De GONI, Mr. WM. SCHUBERT, Mr. S. DE LA COVA, Mr. H. WORRELL, Mr. N. J. LEPKOWSKI,
5Mr. J. P. COUPA, Mr. FERRER, Mr. CHAS. DE JANON, Mr. N. W. GOULD Mr. LUIS T. ROMERO,
6and many others, but deem it unnecessary to do so, as the public is well aware of the superior merits of the Martin Guitars. Parties have in vain tried to imitate them, not only here in the United States, but also in Europe. They still stand this day without a rival, notwithstanding all attempts to puff up inferior and unreliable guitars.

55THE OUTLOOK IS CROWING BRIGHT.
56Everyone is talking of the good season it is going to be—the busy money making season. The howlers will have to change their business and returning confidence will soon set things right. The country is too big and its interests too strong to be permanently disabled. We come to this conclusion and the result is a bigger output of DRUMS.
58We mean to keep on growing—tariff or no tariff. The conditions favor a steadily increasing trade. Our Drums are the best on the market and the tendency is to make them better and charge less—if possible. We are wide awake in your interests, and nothing we can say will so fully indorse that fact as the Drums themselves. SEND FOR PRICES.
