5The New England Piano Co.
7THE NEW ENGLAND PIANO CO. was established in February, 1881, by Thos. F. Scanlan, its present proprietor.
9Six months from the commencement of the business the first New England Piano was ready for the market. Eighteen months later the factory was removed to its present location on George, Gerard and Howard Streets, Boston Highlands. Increasing business soon made larger quarters imperative, and frequent additions have been made to the factories, until to-day the factories of the New England Piano Co. are the largest piano factories in the world. The main factory building has a frontage on three streets of two hundred and twenty-five (225) feet in length by one hundred and fifty (150) feet in depth, and has seven (7) floors. The Action factory is in an annex building 70×70 feet and has four (4) floors, making a total floor area of over six acres. There are also lumber sheds and yards, with a large supply of all the various woods used in the construction of the New England Pianos, and which is seasoned in the open air as well as in our immense dry houses. Dry houses with a capacity of over three million (3,000,000) feet of lumber. Private and wagon stables, etc. . . . . . . . . . . The factories are equipped with the latest improved labor saving machinery—many of the machines originated and used exclusively by the New England Piano Co. All the materials used in the construction of the New England Pianos are first class and most suitable, and are the production of the same manufacturers who supply the leading manufacturers of this country. The highest skilled labor is employed, among the workmen being men who have followed their special branch for nearly half a century.
11The warerooms of the New England Piano Co., at 200 Tremont Street, Boston, are universally known as "Piano Headquarters," and are patronized by many leading lights of the musical profession. Warerooms at 262 & 264 Wabash Avenue, Chicago; 98 Fifth Avenue, New York, and 26, 28 & 30 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, are among the largest and finest in this country. "SUCCESS SUCCEEDS" was never better exemplified than in the history of the New England Piano Co.
13The purchasing public use and indorse the New England Piano. The best evidence of this fact is that there are over 72,000 NEW ENGLAND PIANOS in daily use throughout this country. The mysteries of the past are relegated to the past, and the manufacture of the Pianoforte placed upon a mercantile basis.
15NEW ENGLAND PIANOS
16are noted for Durability, Standing in Tune, Perfection of Touch, Tone and Finish, and are sold upon their merits.
18Trade continues to increase. The New England Piano is already well represented throughout the country. We are always pleased to hear from first-class dealers where we are not already represented, and think we are in a position to know something of the requirements of the trade and especially the purchasing public. The NEW ENGLAND PIANO will always be found in the front rank.
