The city Of Paris owes its origin to
the conquest Of Gaul by Caesar. When
this Roman general on his path Of con-
quest came to the present site Of the
French capital he found a swampy
island In the river Seine, which was
inhabited by Gallic tribe called Par
isil, who lived In huts made OF rushes.
Rather than be captured by the Ro-
mans, these people burned their rude
city, which they called Lutetia, or
mud town." and the great Caesar,
quick to appreciate the situation, built
temple to Jupiter and a wall round
the Island. A town soon sprang up
about the temple, and was named Par
isli. after the ancient tribe. In later
years this was shortened to Paris.

Remarkable Success

The great house Of Sherman, Clay &
Co., pioneer Pacific coast piano dealers,
purchased the entire system Of stores OF
the Allen & Gilbert Ramaker company,
July l, 1906. The first year has just
closed and it has been year of marked
success. The people of the Northwest
have become wearied by the numerous,
almost continual, Especial" flake"
and spectacular piano sales, in which
they were supposed to be able to buy
$4,000 piano for 1898 90, etc.
Sherman, Clay & Company came into
this territory without blare Of trum-
pets, iDaugurated no opening or special
sale, but simply stated that they were
ready for business. Every piano and
organ was marked in plain figures and
thus child could buy any instrument
as cheaply and safely as could state
senator, or any one, anywhere, could
order by mail and secure the came
price and terms as he could by visiting
the store.
The results have shown that the
people appreciate such policy. The
business came-saies increased in num-
ber-orders came from far and near by
letter, telephone and telegraph. The
business grew by leaps and bounds.
We understand that even Sherman,
Clay & Company were surprised at the
rapid development OF trade.
Doubtless the great success was large
" due to the fact that Sherman, Clay
& Company's reputation had preceded
them, for they have been selling pianos
at the conrner of Kearney and Suffer
streets, San Francisco, for over thirty
Ave years and every Californian will
vouch for the integrity Of the house and
the reliability of their pianos. Such
pianos as the world celebrated Stein
way, Knabe, Everett, Packard, and
such player pianos as the Angelus, A.

makes which they sell would mark any
concern as 1.-THE House Of Quality"
This is the name by which their stores
are recognized everywhere. They have
