R. &. Fringer, manager since the house was established and to whom the larger share of credit is due for the great success which {ft has achieved, was also reluctant to see his company re- Hnquish their foothold and withdraw from such an important point as Seattle their long and firmly established business and used his efforts and influence from the beginning to have them continue here. This finally resulted in holding matters !n abeyance, and instead of closing the house, as announced and intended, December Sst, an option was secured by Mr. Fringer on the purchase of the busi- ness and he conducted a vigorous price-cutting sale for a time with a view of reducing the stock to where he could take advantage of this opportunity While this great campaign resulted in selling more and better pianos as smaller prices than was ever accom- plished in the same length of time under similar circumstances, Mr, Fringer found that the business was still too big to buy and take over outright, but additional and substantial money interest in the same and will direct very largely the future policies and destinies of the Seattle house. he acquired Many of the variety of causes that made it necessary to take steps to close out our Seattle business have since taken a more favorable turn, and it {s evident from the many letters of congratu- Jation and approval received since our initial announcement in the papers a week ago that every one is pleased with the happy out- come of the many problems that were involved in this situation. 1 wish to take this ocoasion to publicly extend my thanks per- + sonalty and the thanks of my business associates to the people of Seattle and the Northwest, and especially to our many friends for thelr confidence, generous patron@ge and good efforts exerted in helping to make our house a permanent Seattle tnstitution In conclusion, I beg to state that no customer of ours shall through any neglect on our part or lack of proper perform- of any instrument secured from us, have any cause to regret hase of it. Every instrument must prove exactly as repre sented... Should even one out of the enormous lot of instruments sold by us prove defective or imperfect in any way, just as soon as the facts can be ascertained the trouble will be remedied. The guarantee that goes with our instruments is a guarantee that abso- lutely protects the purchaser, without parley or equivocation, dif- fering in this regard from warranties issued by the majority of other concerns s eve As previously announced, we sold our sheet music ‘and small musical instrument departments on January Ist to the Rose Musie Company, who were formerly at 1420 Second Avenue, but who have moved into and now occupy the first main floor in the Eilers build. ing jointly with us. We will in the future concentrate and specialize on the world’s best pianos, including such distiniguished names as Chickering & Sons, Kimball, Sohmer, Haddorff, Kilers, the Autopiano, the Bunga- low and others; also the famous new Edison diamond point, no needle, disc and cylinder phonographs, and the renowned Victor talking machines, with such a variety of prices and terms that some- thing suitable can be found for every income and purpose,
