2004-10-30/2019-02-11 - From the OHS PC Database, derived from A Guide to North American Organbuilders by David H. Fox (Organ Historical Society, 1997 edition). - Established proprietorship in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, 1969, styled McFarland & Visscher, later James R. McFarland & Co.
2015-08-22/2019-02-11 - From the OHS Database Builders Listing editor, June 6, 2016. - While it is almost certain this was a partnership of James R. McFarland and William A. Visscher, the start date is problematic. Visscher worked with McFarland from 1973-1976, but Fox indicates the firm started in 1969. One solution would be that the firm started in 1969 as James McFarland & Co., became McFarland & Visscher in 1973, and then reverted to its previous name in 1976 when Visscher left the firm.
