THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
STOP! READ! THINK!

O you ever realize what sixty
years of concentrated work in
the creation of a special product
means?
Do you realize that sixty years of
undeviating effort, when backed by
the ability to secure the highest tech-
nical and practical aid, means much;
means advance; means a degree of
perfection unattainable by sporadic
effort?
Well, that is precisely what the
manufacturers of the " P e r f e c t e d "
and " CrOWIl" brands of music
wire have done!
Sixty years ago they commenced
the manufacture of piano wire and they had
supreme faith in the ability of American workmen
and American skill to produce the best in the world.
Thus step by step they advanced, by research and experimental
force, until their music wire products attracted the.attention of more than
one critical piano man.
We may say that Jonas Chickering placed his first order for this wire
in 1850. He was so delighted with it that he continued to order, and other
manufacturers fell in line, until it is conceded by those who have applied
the strongest tests, that the "Perfected" and " C r o w n " brands of music
wire typify the most desirable results in the blending of metal for perfect
acoustic results.
Some of the most prominent piano manufacturers in this country
have used the "Perfected "and " C r o w n " brands continuously for a long
period of years, and does it not naturally follow that they would not con-
tinue to do this unless they had found that these brands met with the most
exacting requirements ?
Now, why not follow the successful man ?
Why hold back?
Why not accept the wisdom of the industrial leaders in the selection
of such essential products in the manufacture of pianos ?
