Pros , PIANOS SAe Checkering. If there bo one firm in Aniericu that commercialism has not in any way utYected , that firm is surely the famous old concern of Chickering & Sons , Boston. These manu facturers of the Chickoring Piano have heen in business since 1823 , anil have at all times conducted their affairs on conservative , artistic lines. They have never considered the money cost of manufact ure , but have ever produced the finest piano possible and have then set the price. The result is that the Chickoring name is synonymous for all that is best in piano construc tion , that the Chickering piano is beyond all cavil the best the whole world pro duces , Eighty years of con stant , honorable endeavor is the secret of the matchless Chickering tone that elusive , beautiful thing that all other makers have tried to imitate , but have failed.
