IF THE furnishings and.
appointments of the
home are made to meas
ure up to the Chickering
standard of excellence, the
result -will, indeed, be k
"home beautiful." The
Chickering piano stands for
the best in piano construc
tion. It is built on the prin-.
ciples as laid down by that
man of genius, Jonas Chick
erinsr. years airo and which
are so sacredly adhered to by his successors.
No piano leaves the factory unless it is fine enough'
to bear his name. And that means "100 perfect" on
any scale of judgment you may choose.
To own a Chickering means to own a treasure, one
which will prove a continual source of delight.
We are sole agents
and shall be pleased to
show you our fine stock
of Chickering uprights,
players and grands.
The. oldest in America,
the best in the world.
