If you need a piano
you'd better read it.
If YOU hate music it
won't interest you.
But who does hate
music?
Nobody. any more
than he can hate chill
dren. That old royal
heavy-in- George

to hating "boetry and
bainting,' but excluded
music from the ban, and

perhaps somebody was

changed long ago. was
obliged to admit that
"of all SCUM q 5, it
[musicl is one of the
least disagreeable.
The love of music is
an instructive passion
with normal human
beings.
But satisfying that
love was another thing
very, very much an
other thing-for the
general public for cen
turies, until the piano,
in the embryo of its
modern form, appeared
in the year 1709 and
brought music ri G h
into the homes of the
people as it never had
been brought b e f ore
in the history of music.
Next another big
step. In April 1923,
Jonas Chickering es-
tablished, in the city of
Boston, the first definite
and practical piano fac
tory in America. I'm
bending standards of
excellence on the part

Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1918-04-13

We regard it as a dis
tinct achievement TO
have been able for 30
many years TO present
to citizens Of Pennsyl-
vania the Chickering
piano in a manner com
mensurate with its
dignity, and on terms
and conditions that
brought it within the
reach Of many whose
financial resources
were less than their
artistic appreciation.
TT is scarcely neces-
i sary to say much
more about these beau
tifully artistic little
grand player pianos,
since the name Chick
ering tells it all.
They are instruments
with limitless possibili-
ties that thunder and
whisper and sing and
sob, and send out
silvery notes like rippl-
ing laughter, capable Of
expressing the whole
gamut Of human emo
ton.
For it must be re-
membered that while
music was pop1ttGrlzed
by the introduction and
complete realization Of
the perfected piano, it
remained for the play
er-pianO to 1tniUersniize
it.
Love and apprecia-
tion Of good music, and
technical knowledge
and the ability to play
(even for ones own en-
ioyment) do not 90
hand in hand. Very
often, indeed, the true
lover Of music cannot
read or play a single
note.
To such. this opportunity Of
obtaining a plsyer-pisno ot the
Chickering, Knabe or schc-
macker make, comes as a boon.

no excuse for not purchasing a

In one sense the offering OF
reproducing instruments may
be regarded as the most i'm
portsnt of all.
Through their demonstration
in connection with this 2uniYer-

OF music will make the aequaln-

they scarcely knew existed.

the Chickering piano

Previous to this the
sliding scale was the
rule, and the fixed rate
the exception, in selling

Nice for those who
