Haddorff Piano Co. Purchased
By C. G . Conn, Ltd. Interests
The entire capital stock of Haddorff Piano Company, Rock-
ford, Illinois, has been purchased by C. G. Conn Ltd. Interests.
Sales headquarters will be at 630 South Wabash A venue, Chicago.
The high quality of the Haddorff piano will be strictly main-
tained ; along with established dealer franchises and dealer rela-
tions. The new owners acquire a stock of pianos ready to ship and
in process sufficient to meet dealer requirements for the remainder
of the year. Announcement to Haddorff Dealers on Oct. 15th.
"As you will see shortly from notices in the trade papers,
Haddorff Piano Company with its entire capital stock has been
purchased by C. G. Conn, Ltd. and its affiliated interests. It will
continue its corporate identity and all transactions with the trade
will be conducted, as in the past, by Haddorff Piano Company. It
will be felt generally, we are sure, that the sponsorship of C. G.
Conn, Ltd., with its top standing in its own department of the
musical instrument field, will be a guarantee of maintenance of
the Haddorff tradition and of that high quality on which your
respect for the piano has been founded."
It is highly gratifying to Haddorff dealers to know that the
Haddorff Piano Company will continue with such ample resources
for the complete fulfillment of its splendid possibilities. Evidence
of this gratification is already pouring in to the new headquarters
in the shape of letters from loyal Haddorff dealers conveying
their warm congratulations and expressing their own happiness
at this favorable turn of events. "Most of these letters contain
orders for immediate shipment of Haddorff pianos", according
to Mr. P. E. Mason, the old, and now again, the new Sales Man-
ager for the Haddorff Piano.
