Under the heading Blur Bros Agent
Hustler" the Music Trade Review
for Nov. % contains an illustrated arti-
Gle dated at Brattleboro, which reads ,as
follows: L. H. Barber, a well-known
piano dealer of this city, is as enthusi-
astic hunter as he is a piano dealer
Every fall he takes enough time away
from business to thoroughly enjoy the
sport. In the accompanying Illustration
he is seen standing in front of the Wind
ham County Hotel at Newfane, Wind
ham county, VT, with a prize buck
which he had shot just a few hours be-
1ore' Mr.. Barber was riding in a sleigh
along one of the country roads when
from an adjoining thcket the buck
sprang into view several yards away,
Always alert, Mr.. Barber seized his
rifle and jumping from the sleigh shot
while on the run, bringing down his
quarry. 1t is with the same spirit that
he goes after piano prospects with the
BJur pianos and player pianos, manu-
factured by the Blur Bros. Co.. New
York, for which he is the agent in this
city"
