The Chicago music trades paid their respects to
the memory of Otto Scliulz, late president of the
M. Schulz Co., at a joint meeting of the Chicago
Piano Manufacturers Association, the Chicago Piano
& Organ Association, and the Piano Club of Chicago,
Thursday afternoon in the Kimball Building.
Prominent leaders in local manufacturing and re-
tailing activities were on hand to honor one who had
always merited their respect and admiration. R. J.
Cook of The Cable Company presided at the meeting,
and in his introductory address paid a splendid tribute
to the qualities of the man. Ben F. Duvall of the W.
W. Kimball Company, acted as recording secretary.
While the grief over the loss of this respected for-
mer member and head of the organization was gen-
eral, a few found words in which to express their
sincere sorrow at his passing.
E. R. Jacobson, president of the Straube Piano Co.,
Hammond, Ind.. recalled Otto Schulz's service to the
trade in leading a movement to curtail expansion after
the postwar collapse of industry.
Roger O'Connor, president of the Piano Club of
Chicago, asked the gathering to recall the benefits
the music piano trade in Chicago had derived from
Otto Schulz's influence with the municipal admin-
istration.
Henry E. Hewitt, wholesale sales manager for the
M. Schulz Co., told of the almost filial love Otto
Schulz's employees had for him, and related how.
with the welfare of his employees uppermost in his
mind, he had endowed an $18,000 burial and insurance
fund for their benefit.
Others who addressed the meeting were Henry E.
Weisert, head of the piano department of Lyon &
Healy; E B. Bartlett, vice-president of the W. W.
Kimball Co., and H. C. Dickinson, vice-president of
the Baldwin Piano Company. A resolution was
adopted expressing the heartfelt sorrow and sym-
pathy of the members of the three organizations.

The funeral of Otto Schulz, of 6106 Kenmore ave-
nue, Chicago, pres : dent of the M. Schulz Co.. on
August 3 at Wicker Park Lutheran Church, Hoync
avenue and Lcmoyne street, was very largely at-
tended, despite a pouring rain. Included in the
great audience were judges of the courts, prominent
bankers, millionaires and club men and women lead-
ers in the civic life of Chicago. Mr. Schulz would
have been 59 years old if he had lived until the 15th
of this August. He was a mason, a member of the
Chicago Athletic Association, Lake Shore Athletic,
Evanston Golf, Press and City Clubs, and the Cook
County Real Estate Board; also a member of the
Chicago Plan Commission and a director of the Na-
tional Piano Manufacturers Association. Rev. Dr.
Crile, of Santa Fe, N. M., a former pastor of the
church, preached the funeral sermon, particularly re-
counting the helpful life that Otto Schulz had lived.
Mr. Schulz had been a member of the building com-
mittee that had charge of erecting the church. The
whole west end of the church at the funeral was
banked with flowers, tokens of respect from the many
friends of Mr. Schulz, and besides there were two
truck-loads of flowers standing outside the structure
in the rain, too wet to bring into the sanctuary.
