24NO CONNECTION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE OF THE SAME NAME.
25For 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
26MADAME DE GONI, MR. WM. SCHUBERT, MR. S. DE LA COVA,
27MR. J. P. COUPA, MR. FERRER, MR. CHAS. DE JANON,
28MR. N. W. WORRELL, MR. N. J. LEE, MR. LUIS T. ROMERO,
29MR. N. W. GOULD,
30and many others, but we 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.
