24MARTIN GUITARS.

26NO CONNECTION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE OF THE SAME NAME.
27For 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
28M. A. DE GONI, WM. SCHUBERT, MR. S. DE LA GROVA,
29Mr. J. P. COUPA, MR. FERRER, MR. CHAS. DE JANON,
30Mr. H. WORRELL, MR. N. J. LE-KOWSKI, MR. LUIS T. ROMERO,
31Mr. N. W. GOULD, and many others, but it is 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.

110A SENSATIONAL NOVELTY IN THE ACCORDEON
111Branch is the invention of GUENTHER KOERNER (Gera-Reuss Germany). The belly needs no bracing, the bridge on the corners, but is made out of ONE piece of leather, in accordance with Guenther's patented process. The corners are no longer sharp but are around all of them, and have a pleasing and elegant appearance, as well as an almost indestructible body. The instrument is also named "THE INDESTRUCTIBLE HERCULES." The Guenther Koerner Accordions are most favorably known.
