& /e Chickerin/J. /
If there bo ono firm in
America llial commercialism
has not , in any way ail'ected ,
that firm is surely the famous
old concern of Chloitering &
Sons , IJoston. These manu
facturers of the Chickering
Piano have been in business
since IS'JJ ! , and have at al
times conducted their affairs
on conservative , artistic lines
They have never con iderec
the money cost of manufact
ure , but have ever producct
the finest piano possible anc
have then set the price. The
result is that the Chickering
name is synonymous for al
that is beat in piano construe
tion , that the Chickering
piano is beyond all cavil the
best the whole world pro
ducos. Eighty years of con
stunt , honorable endeavor i ;
the secret of the matchles :
Chickoring tone that elusive
beautiful thing that all othe
makers have tried to imitate
but have failed.
