9As but a limited space in the building for manufactures and the liberal arts has been apportioned for musical exhibits, it would be advisable for all concerns who contemplate representation to fully post themselves as soon as possible as to the details of the matter.
10Dixon Music Company.
11On February 5, 1891, the above company began doing business, and was incorporated under the State laws to do business as dealers in the different manufactures of pianos, organs and musical goods. The capital stock is $10,000, and the officers are: R. A. Rodesch, president; Robert Anderson, vice-president and manager, and M. M. Rodesch, secretary and treasurer. The above gentlemen are well known and reliable men, and at the time it was needless to prophesy a successful future for the company, as with such men at the head of a concern a failure was nearly impossible. Pushing and enterprising, reliable in dealings and using only the best business methods, it is no wonder this company is at present doing a lucrative business and with prospects of a large increase year by year.
12Prior to the incorporation the president has been in the musical instrument business since 1882, and being well versed as he is, and having ample capital at his back, surrounded with efficient officers, this new corporation at once caught the public favor and their business of to-day is a testimonial of their enterprise, business ability and fair dealing with all. Besides the office which he holds with this company, Mr. Rodesch is general agent for this territory of the well-known Reed's Temple of Music, Chicago, and formerly held the same position for two years for the Chas. F. Stokes Manufacturing Company, of Chicago, bicycle manufacturers. His long experience in the musical line makes him a desirable man for the head of such a concern. At their office on Galena avenue may be seen, among others, the following manufactures of pianos and organs: Haines Brothers, Kroeger & Sons, Conover Brothers pianos and Farrand & Votey, Western Cottage and Lehr & Co. organs.—Dixon, Ill., "Telegraph."
