BEAUTIFUL WAREROOMS
Glenn. Bros.-Roberts Piano Company Opens
Fine Establishment to Be Known by
Magnetic Name of Chickering Hall.
Taking its name from their leader, the establish-
ment is named Chickering Hall. There are four-
teen sound-proof and perfectly ventilated rooms for
the demonstration of Ampico and talking machine
records.
The ventilating feature is one which makes this
store particularly attractive, and moreover, the
rooms are actually sound proof, not theoretically so
as is so often the case. Customers, therefore, desir-
ing to hear new records, may do so in comfort.
At the opening which occurred recently, huge
throngs paid their respects to Messrs. Glenn Bros,
and congratulated them upon the beatuiful appear-
ance and convenience of their store.
Chickering Hall is the exclusive home in the dis-
trict controlled by Glenn Bros.-Roberts of the Chick-
ering piano and the Ampico Reproducing Piano, a
demonstration of which was the outstanding feature
of the formal opening. Mr. Stitt, vice-president of
the company, had the matter in charge and explained
the Ampico to large audiences of interested listeners.
In addition to its convenience for hearing and se-
lecting pianos and records, this up-to-date store h#s
a comfortable rest room for women and children.
Service is the watchword of this institution.
There is a special room for children in which a
musical and juvenile atmosphere is created by the

little ones to sit and select the records which please
them most.
At the opening all visitors were given souvenirs
and thousands of roses were distributed to the ladies.
While the guests inspected the several features of
the establishment, music in addition to that supplied
by the Ampico was played by an instrumental
quartet under the direction of Elmer Young.
