The issues of '56 vs. those of today
HEN William Lloyd Garrison was electrifying his listen-
ers on the Boston Common, in 1856, and John C. Fremont
was running for the presidency on the first Republican
ticket, the H A L L E T & DAVIS piano was then seventeen years old.
It had already received the warm approval of the musically cultur-
ed persons and distinguished societies of that early period of our na-
tional existence.
W
As many changes have taken place in our political life since that far-
away time, so have many noted achievements and developments
been wrought in the H A L L E T & DAVIS piano.
The H A L L E T & DAVIS upright and grand have been developed;
eleven years after the day of Garrison and Fremont, the great Liszt
was acclaiming the artistic merits of the H A L L E T & DAVIS grand
in Europe; later on, by a full generation, the H A L L E T & DAVIS
Virtuolo came to the fore as one of America's distinctive triumphs
in player-pianos.
And now come the H A L L E T & DAVIS Reproducing p i a n o s ,
manufactured under the Welte patents, until it would seem that
men and issues change and drop from view, but the H A L L E T &
DAVIS piano goes on, meeting the demands of its day, in ever
higher development and wider fields of usefulness.
