The Hallet & Davis Was
11 Years Old When Jenny
Lind Came to America
Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale, came to America in
1850. The Hallet & Davis Piano was established in 1839.
The Hallet & Davis was already well established as one of
America's leading artistic pianos when Jenny Lind sang her-
self into the hearts of the American people, thereby kindling
its first desire for "more and better music." Jenny Lind has
passed from the memory of living men, but the Hallet &
Davis, whose home in Boston was the scene of her greatest
triumphs, goes on.
And it fills us with pride that, after the seventy intervening
years, the Hallet & Davis, today, is better artistically, is
stronger financially and enjoys a wider sale than ever in its
long and interesting history and it can be profitably sold to-
day for much less money than in Jenny Lind's time.
Write us. We welcome correspondence from dealers con-
cerning any musical matters.
