mualo Journal of the United States, a
well, for It was atatea tnat .u one
carload held the most valuable lot of
pianos ever made. In on ahlpment to a
dealer. ' '''
Thla week, earoely a year later, a
shipment of four monster carloads of
Cblokerlng pianos, altogether lit .000

In addition to all of these Chiekerlngs,
there will be half a hundred or more
carloads of other fin make of piano
to be sold by them, a well.
Thla la thoroughly Indicative of th
