That Honest Test, 



An interesting account of which appeared in 

 The Musical People for September, 1882, entirely 

 without our knowledge, and which we after- 

 ward published as an advertisement in the 

 columns of several other periodicals, has at- 

 tracted very considerable attention, and brought 

 us a host of friends. 



THE CHICKERING- PIANO 



never ranked higher in public approval and 

 estimation than it does to-day, because the 

 manufacturers have kept right on, all these 

 years, adding improvement to improvement, 

 still leading the van in advance of all honest 

 and honorable competition. 



THE CHICKERING PIANO 



is the best Pianoforte manufactured, and is 

 just the instrument that every cultivated 

 musical taste appreciates and wants. It needs 

 only to have the honest test applied, and in 

 every instance The Chickering is victor. 



A Piano is usually the purchase of a life- 

 time, therefore great care should be taken in 

 the selection. Buy only that which can be 

 proven to be the best. The Chickering 

 Piano — quality, excellence, and durability con- 

 sidered — is the cheapest Pianoforte manufact- 

 ured. Send for Illustrated Catalogue and Price- 

 list, and copy of " An Honest Test," to
