HEN most conscientious
piano repair men and tun-
ers select parts with a view to
getting the best possible tonal
and mechanical results, they
turn very naturally to the house
of
W
THE COMSTOCK-CHENEY & CO.
whose products have won a
reputation for excellence that
safeguards pianos in which
they are used. The quality line
comprises keys, actions and
hammers for all types of
pianos.
Since the early days of piano
manufacturing, A m e r i c a n
piano makers have made
the presence of Comstock-
Cheney parts in their products
a major selling point, and have
depended on them to retain
their beauty or utility. The
same high standards are em-
ployed in the production of
parts for repair work. Why not
get your repair supplies from a
house whose supremacy in its
line will enable you to achieve
uniformly good results and, in
addition, will reflect its excel-
lence and prestige on your
work?
The Tonk Manufacturing Co. of Chicago is mar-
keting; a very attractive
piano chair which is
bound to gain popu-
larity.
It has a stout back,
which affords a m p 1 e
rest to the student or
teacher, and the uphol-
stering, which can be
had in several colors, is
of Jacquard velour. The
owner can easily re-
upholster the seat.
These chairs are solidly
constructed, finished in
mahogany or walnut, in
dull or polished finish,
as desired.
A number of dealer-
customers of the firm
are using these chairs

CHAIR
in their demonstration
rooms, for they are ornamental as well as useful and
can easily be carried about.
With another suit on hand, this time for $3,000,000,
the Steger & Sons Piano Co. and the town of Steger,
111., are having their fill of losses.
WALTHAM BUSINESS INCREASING
Business with the Walt ham Piano Co., Milwaukee,
Wis., shows an upward turn and a gradual gain for
some weeks past in output and sales, both of grands
and uprights. One of the officials of the Waltham
company informed a correspondent of Presto-Times
a few days ago that their factory has been running
steadily and that they have not been forced to cur-
tail their employment roll. The Soldiers Home, the
Shorewood High School, and the Marquette Univer-
sitv are recent institutions to order Walthams.
MRS. C. A. SMITH LEFT $100,000
The will of Mrs. Anna F. Smith, of Highland Park,
111., widow of Charles A. Smith, pioneer Chicago piano
manufacturer, was admitted to probate on June 4 by
Probate Judge Martin C. Decker at Waukegan, 111.
It disposes of an estate of $100,000 in personal prop-
erty. One bequest of $1,000 was made to Quacken-
bruck, the native tmvn of Mrs. Smith in Germany.
The rest of the estate was left to stepchildren, a niece
and a nephew.
The new supply house organized by Philip G. Oet-
ting upon the discontinuance of the Philip W. Oetting
& Son, Inc., business has been completed and is
styled Philip Oetting. located at 213 East 19th street.
New York, importer and jobber of tuning pins, felts,

which it seems will come to him.
