The Plant of the Briggs Piano Co., Boston,
tion is the sincerest possible flattery, al-
though mere copies cannot be imbued
with the peculiar and individual beauties
of the Briggs. The most critical and ex-
hausting examinations and tests of the
Briggs have only served to verify the high
claims advanced by its manufacturers.
The Briggs Co. have always led in impor-
tant innovations, and have enjoyed wonder-
ful success in ingenious and valuable
adaptations of the underlying principles of
piano construction."
The manufacturing home of the Briggs
Piano Co., at 615-21 Albany street is pre-
sented below." In this factory, which is
modern in every respect, and equipped
with all the latest and improved machinery
for the production of pianos, there are

for Briggs pianos. Every department of
this vast plant is controlled by men emi-

not only system in the management of
affairs, but a thorough care and perfection
in manufacture that is so essential in the
making of a high grade piano. It is by at-
tention to details that the Briggs piano
has grown to be one of the great favorites

attributes, and artistic excellences have
earned for it a permanent and distin-
guished position in the esteem of the musi-
cal public. In its completeness it repre-
sents the very latest phases in piano manu-
facturing. A perfect harmony of purpose
and design has been achieved, and so
highly is it regarded that several piano
manufacturers have adopted it as a model
for their own especial needs. Such imita-
