Company history:
Doherty Organ Co., Clinton, Ontario Canada.

Started as Doherty & Menzies in 1868, a furniture and music retailer. Started in 1875.
In 1898 the entire plant burned, but within three months a new factory consisting of two buildings at the corner of East and Irwin Streets was built with a capacity of four hundred organs per month. The buildings are still in existence.
Piano production began about 1905 and the firm was renamed Doherty Piano & Organ Co. in 1908.

Acquired by Sherlock-Manning Organ Co. in 1920.
