Company history:
Started in 1879 in Chicago as the Wolfinger Organ Co. by F.R. Wolfinger,  John A. Comstock and Herman D. Cable.  About 1885 Comstock sold his interest to E.E. Wise, and George W. Tewksbury, both formerly connected with the Western Cottage Organ Co., and the name changed to Chicago Cottage Organ Co. In 1889 Fayette S. and H.M. Cable came into the business, which after H.D. Cable's death in 1899 became The Cable Co. with F.S. Cable as president. A second factory was built in St. Charles, Ill. in 1899.
