THE HENDERSON PIANO
Made Dy Ann Arbor Organ Co., Does Justice To Reputation
Held By University ''Bayreuth of America

Michigan has attained such promi-
hence that about one-fourth of all the
piano factories in the western states are
now located in Michigan, where the in
dustry has had rapid development,
but nowhere greater than in Ann
Arbor, the home of the Henderson
piano. Nor is this 10 be wondered at.
Time was, not many years ago, when
musical culture was at low ebb in
Ann Arbor, but all this has been
changed and nowhere in the
country do the greatest artists
of the old world, as we'll as of
the new, meet with more apprecia-
tive receptions. In fact, Ann Arbor
is now known as the greatest music
loving center of the west Madam
Schumann-Heinke has dubbed il the
" Bayreuth of America. ~ 1t is no
wonder, then, that such high grade
piano as the Henderson should find a
congenial soil for rapid and substan-
tial development and that its name
is known for quality from coast to
coast.
A Modest Start.
The henderson piano is made by the
Ann Arbor Organ Co., which, started
In small way in 1872 TO manufacture
organs. In 1888 the company was
Incorporated AT first the organs made
In one-story shop were sold one at q
time in the surrounding country. But
trade grew and larger building was
demanded and still a larger. Finally
the field seemed ripe for a high grade
piano, and the Henderson resulted. A
splendid business was rapidly devel-
oped, in order TO handle which the
Ann Arbor Organ Co. added to its al
ready extensive plant five-story adj
dition of 1900 square feet increase.
In spite of this the popularity of the
Henderson has been so great as to
Tax the capacity OF the plant.
Like all businesses which develop
to large proportions, the Ann Arbor
Organ Go. has at its head the right
man In the right place. Its manager
during the years of its success has been /
Hon. j. G. Henderson, ex-mayor of
Ann Arbor. When nominated for
mayor by the minority party, he was
known TO comparatively few citizens,
but they reasoned that man who
could make so good piano, and such
q success, must be a good man, and
quickly discovered that he was the
dol of his employees. Mr. Henderson's
majority was the largest ever given n
mayor of Ann Arbor. The directors
Of the company are made up of strong
ocal capitalists, so when il was neces-
'ary to increase the capital stock to
provide for the growing piano business,
.he increase was taken up by the
stockholders already in the company,
without increasing the surplus or the
dividend.
