2024-10-07 - From The Daily Telegraph (St. John, NB, October 21, 1876): "A fine organ has just been placed in the new Catholic Church of Summerside, and used for the first time on Wednesday last, on the occasion of the dedication of the church. The organ, which was built in this city by Messrs. Landry & Co., has a compass of five octaves in the manual, and one and a half octaves of independent pedals ... The whole organ, excepting the Bourdon pipes, are enclosed in a swell. The organ, though not very large is a powerful instrument, well balanced, and of a rich quality of tone. It cost $1,000. This is, we believe, the ninth pipe organ built by Messrs. Landry & Co. They are now busy completing another organ for the Catholic Church of Carleton, (Quebec), to cost about $1,200. They are also preparing for the construction of a large double bank organ to cost $2,500. It is gratifying to find that this branch of local manufactures is succeeding so well. We believe their success is chiefly due to the care and vigilance exercised over the manufacture of these organs. The well known musical ability of Mr. Landry, and his long experience as organist, enables him to build the exact silt of organ, most advantageous for the purposes for which it is intended. Their factory, which is now in the same building with their pianoforte and cabinet organ warerooms, 52 King Street, is under the charge of Mr. C. W. Flaherty, one of the most skillful organ builders on this continent. Eight hands find constant employment in the factory. The organs so far built by by this firm seem second to none and to give the best satisfaction. Messrs. Landry & Co. claim that they can build an organ superior to most of imported organs, at a less price and on easy terms of payment. This is the only pipe organ factory in the Lower Provinces, and it ought to receive a generous patronage from congregations wishing to procure one of those noble Kings of Instruments. Detailed specifications of any sized organ will be furnished by Messrs. Landry & co., on application." -Andrew Henderson
