Alphonzo SMITH

Pianos and Organs
No. 569 Fulton Street.-

This business was established in 1866 by the firm of S. W. Smith, Jr., & Brother, 
and upon the death of the senior member of the firm in 1882 the business passed 
into possession of Mr. Alphonzo Smith, who was the junior member of the original 
firm. 

Spacious and commodious warerooms, consisting of three floors, 25x100 feet deep 
each, are occupied at No.569 Fulton Street, which is undoubtedly one of the best 
appointed and beautiful music establishments in the city. It is fitted up in the 
most artistic manner, and forms one of the attractive features of the great 
thoroughfare on which it is located. 

Mr. Smith is the agent for the celebrated "Wheelock" piano, and the world-renowned 
"Estey" organ, and also keeps a full assortment of pianos and organs of all the 
most distinguished manufacturers in the country. Receiving these instruments direct 
from the makers, Mr. Smith is prepared to sell them at the very lowest prices for 
cash and makes a specialty in his business of delivering a piano or organ upon easy 
methods of payment by the week or month, which is a very great convenience to many, 
as it enables them to obtain a first-class instrument upon a long payment. He also 
rents pianos (both square and upright) and organs at the very lowest prices. 

Mr. Smith is one of the largest dealers in the city. In all transactions Mr. Smith 
will be found prompt and correct. In connection with the piano and organ business 
he also keeps an endless assortment of sheet music and musical merchandise of 
every description, including all the popular songs, ballads, and opera music, 
and also church music and music books. 

A specialty is made of tuning and repairing pianos and organs, and also removing 
them and boxing for shipment. 

Mr. Smith is an old resident of Brooklyn.
