BRECKWOLDT, OF COURSE!
A manufacturer of well-known high grade pianos,
after telling a Presto-Times caller the other day about
the quality of the parts and elements that he is using
in a new high grade piano soon to be brought out
by him, the action, keys, hammers, plates, felts, etc.,
naming the producers in each instance—was asked
by the Presto-Times man: "How about the sounding-
boards?" "Oh, the sounding-boards go without say-
ing," promptly replied the piano manufacturer—
"Breckwoldt, of course."
The Breckwoldt house is well known by piano
manufacturers and all others who use their line of
goods as a house that stands for quality. W. A.
Breckwoldt, with whom a Presto-Times reporter
talked a few days ago, said: "Mostly, in these days,
what you are confronted with is not quality but how
cheap can you make an article. Frankly, we believe
that the time will come again when price will not be
the only objective."
Julius Breckwoldt, of the great sounding-board and
piano accessory manufacturing concern at Dolgeville,
N. Y., is on his customary sojourn in Florida but he
expects to return home by the middle of April. Mr.
Breckwoldt while in Florida is making his home at
Seabreeze, Daytona Beach, right on the Halifax river,
four blocks from the ocean, where he and his wife
417 S. Dearborn St., CHICAGO
and daughter have been since January 1. This is their
winter home, for they have been going down there
every winter for the last 25 years. Mr. Breckwoldt
expects to come to the June convention in Chicago.
