Notes

2024-05-21 - This instrument appears to have been located in the factory of the Illinois Duster and Brush Company, which was located at 1926-1944 W. Webster Avenue in Chicago, IL. This address was found in a 1945 copy of the Federal Register here: https://books.google.com/books?id=YH9mkCaj5ggC&lpg=PA6272&ots=W1sAOv-b8R&dq=%22illinois%20duster%20and%20brush%20company%22&pg=PA6272#v=onepage&q=%22illinois%20duster%20and%20brush%20company%22&f=false This location is now the site of the Kennedy Expressway, so the organ is likely no longer extant unless it was moved prior to construction of the highway.

    The pipecounts shown in THE DIAPASON announcement
    we quite incorrect, so the pipecounts shown here
    are supposition.
