DU BARRY PIANO CO.
RETIRES IN SEATTLE
Count Du Barry, Head of the Firm, in An-
nouncing Fact, Says He Has a "Call"
to Millinery.
The Du Barry Piano Co., Seattle, Wash., is hold-
ing its first and last special sale. "A sale that is a
gale," according to the report of Count Du Barry,
head of the business, and everything must go, for
the Du Barry Piano Co. will be discontinued at the
conclusion of the epochal sale.
Count Du Barry says in his newspaper announce-
ment that he "is called to bigger things,' 1 which is
''setting the millinery style for the world." In tell-
ing about his international millinery undertaking, he
says:
"When we become foot-loose of heavy musical re-
sponsibilities, Du Barry, with the spirit of art as a
Du Barry understands it, gives to womankind the
adornment of beauty her own heart so desires as her
head is held erect, seeing the beauties of the world
about her. Women understand Du Barry—who be-
lieves in little fairies and the gentler things of life,
ever mindful of little sweethearts facing the great
world before them to find their happy place.
"Man has left no written history of an event in
piano disposals that releases to friends and music
lovers a beauty stock of thoughtfully selected pianos
as can be found at Du Barry's—going to stand as our
last work in the erection of a musical monument for
ourselves as we part from the spirit of music with
tears in our heart. But it seems as if the world is
calling.
"The incidents that made the ancient ancestral
name of Du Barry famous and to live for evermore
occurred at the illustrious court of Louis XV, who was
the king that carried luxury to its furthermost limits.
History records his remark, 'After me comes the
deluge,' which came thundering from heaven, charg-
ing from the very lightning of the revolution that fol-
lowed the sweet name Du Barry with a light of
brilliancy and an aroma that permanently through the
ages to come sweetly perfumed the beauty of Du
Barry inspirations.
So it will be found we must
work with the world and give to France the great
historical advantage her romantic courts of the past
have favored her in artistic recollections of which
it can be said Du Barry stands uppermost."
So the conclusion of the sale that is a gale will be
the end of the Du Barry Piano Co., in Seattle, al-
though an office will be maintained for the collection
of installment accounts. The sale is one of easy
terms as well as of alluring prices. Count Du Barry
calls it "the offer of a lifetime" and assures prospec-
tive customers that:
' Du Barry is with you, heart and soul, to the last
in the wonderful uplifting cause of music; to the
last with sympathetic and reverent understanding.
Cash if you have it—credit if you want it, but. have
music for your child if it takes the sweat of your
brow and your hands bleed to possess it. We shall

F. B. Fisher, of Atlanta, Ga., southeastern repre-

very welcome visitor at the general office in Chi-

very successful hunting trip.
Partridges or no partridges, however, the M.
Schulz Company thinks highly of Mr. Fisher, who
has a record of fifteen years of enviable service in
Atlanta as representative of the same piano manu-
facturing company. His business has always been
more than satisfactory, both his handling of the
wholesaling interests of the southeast, and his serv-
ice to the retailers in that section.
