SOUTHERN PLANTER.— ADVERTISING SHEET. 



CHXCKXSRXNG-'S PXANO FORTES. 



The subscriber bavins' been appointed sole Agent for 

 the sale, in and about Richmond, of the celebrated Pi- 

 anos of -Chickering & Sons, has now for sale at bis 

 store, on Main Street, opposite the Exchange Bank, a 

 large and varied assortment of these superb instru- 

 ments, which as obliged to do by the terms of his agen- 

 cy he sells at the factory prices. 



His stock embraces as large and elegant an assort- 

 ment as can be found in any of the Northern cities, 

 affording the citizens of Richmond and Virginia, all the 

 advantages possessed by the people of the North in 

 the prices and qualities of Piano Fortes. Among his 

 assortment is the 



« CHICKERING'S LEWIS XIV," 

 an instrument which for beauty, excellence of tone, 

 delicacy of touch, and elegance of finish, is universally 

 admired. It stands unrivalled save by the 



PARIX)R GRAND PIANO, 

 which claims attention as the chef d'ceuvre of the Mes- 

 srs. Chickering, and which is considered by the first ar- 

 tists superior to any instrument ever produced in this 

 or any other country. This Piano, whilst it possesses 

 all the excellencies of the $1500 Grand Piano, is free 

 from all its defects. The touch is so light that the del- 

 icate hand of a lady performer can produce the same 

 volume of tone as that of the most experienced mas- 

 ter. The style is unique, and the instrument may be 

 placed in any position in the room, with equal advan- 

 tage to sound and appearance. 



The Parlor Grand Piano has entirely superseded, in 

 all the larger cities, the more- costly and ponderous 

 Grand Piano, it having been decided by the most com- 

 petent judges to combine the best qualities of the Grand 

 and Square Piano. See Report of Judges to Board of 

 Directors of Kentucky Mechanics' 1 Institute, Louis- 

 ville.'] 



That persons in Richmond and its vicinity, desiring 

 to purchase their pianos, may be sure of obtaining a 

 genuine instrument, the Messrs. Chickerinsr, (see their 

 card below), will hold themselves responsible only for 

 those bought of their authorized agent. Also for sale, 

 the excellent Pianos, of various stvles and prices, of 

 BROWN & ALLEN, Boston, makers of high reputa- 

 tion and experience.
