A young immigrant from
many, Gottlieb Heller, had le
through diligent hard work the
of cabinetmaking. Further years of
apprenticeship in the piano industry
followed until he~ had a thorough
background in the field he was to
enter. It was largely a result of his
efforts' that the business grew and
prospered during the difficult early
years.
The second generation of Hellers,
William G. and Henry R., today
carry on the business which they
learned from their father. William
G. Heller is the man at the helm of
the organization. Under his guidance
the company has reached its present
enviable position in the industry.
He is ably assisted by his brother,
Henry R. Heller, master of piano
production techniques.
