THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT.
The PIAIMOTIST Piano Player
In taking account of stock, you can always
count in your A. B. Chase piano as one of
your best investments. In the home it pays
dividends of solid satisfaction, and, if prop-
erly cared for, is better in tone quality than
when new. If used by others its rental value
brings most profitable returns, as the follow-
ing actual example shows:
In September, 1890, the A. B. Chase Co.
sold through Lyon, Potter & Co. to the Lake
Forest Seminary, an oak piano, style 12. In
October, 1895, five years later, they sold
this same school several of their larger sized
pianos, taking in part payment therefor this,
with other second-hand pianos. A month
later they rented this second-hand A. B.
Chase piano to C. M. Jacobus, musical di-
rector of the Ohio Wesleyan University,
at $5.00 a month. He kept it, paying rent
regularly, until this spring, over five years.
It was then brought to the factory, and given
thorough renovation, putting in new ham-
mers, re-adjusting the action, and cleaning
up the case. When completed last month,
Otis Bigelow, a prominent dealer of Dowa-
giac, Mich., in selecting a carload of A. B.
Chase pianos for the opening of his new
store, came across it, was captivated by its
tone-quality, told its history, and insisted on
having this piano, paying therefor about
twice as much as he would have paid for
many a new piano of other manufacture.
