1t is certainly not wonderful that the person
who wishes to purchase first class piano
and IL hardly seems that any one would care
for any other-should be confused, bewildered
and discouraged when he comes to look over
the great number OF instruments, good, bad
and Indifferent which are to-day flooding the
American market. That is why the instru-
ments manufactured by the KELLER PIANO
COMPANY, at Bridgeport, are so popular with
the trade and with musicians. They stand on
their own merits and it is generally acknowl-
edged that the Keller upright grand pianos
are interior to none manufactured.
The company, tor the exclusive make of
this superior instrument, was incorporated in
1887, with n capital of $25, 900 and immediate
ly the pianos were put upon the market they
sprang into popularity and, as they have been
improved from time to time by the addition
OF patent attachments and appliances, they
continue to stand n recognized favorite wher-
ever they have been used. And that is most
extensively, the trade extending to every
State in the Union. The Keller piano is GER
tainly beautiful instrument and an examina-
ton OF Ii warrants all the praise that has been
bestowed upon 1t. 1t is made in various
styles, patterns and designs of cases, but the
tone, adjustment and strength are equal in all
the makes, making the Keller n marvel ofper-
feet tone, perfection of adjustment and
strength. We are only glad to recommend this
instrument to our readers in whatever sec
ton OF the country they may be. The factory
of this company is located at Moss John street
In Bridgeport and the warerooms are at No.
