1912 and 1913: THE ESTEY COMPANY - ORGANS AND PIANOS

This legendary organ maker went out of business in 1958. However, the company made a very indelible mark on the musically inclined citizens of Trenton and the Central New Jersey area back in the first half of the 20th century. The above articles give the history of this famous American company, and it deserves a a place of honor in my "BUSINESSES AND FACTORIES, TRENTON" folder in the Hamilton Township Public Library's Local History Collection. I have added an additional Estey Piano article which I have just found after I posted the photo/article immediately above. In order to maintain a logical historic progression, the September 27th article has been added, and the original post of a few days ago has been deleted.
