Mason & Hamlin Pianos invite severest comparison, yet recognize no competition. Be cause they are better made, embodying in their construction the finest materials obtainable, and because of their patented features, Mason & Hamlin Pianos cost more than other pianos ; yet, so superior is their quality, so perfect their architecturakdesign, 6o beautiful their finish, that the additional cost is doubly justified. The, Mason & Hamlin Piano is the offi cial piano of the Chicago Grand Opera Company, which will be heard in Port land soon.
