Description: The Beethoven Organ Co. was known for manufacturing organs and pianos during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Washington, NJ, during this period was a small but industrious town, with a population of around 2,500 to 3,000 people in the early 1900s. The company, with a reputation for producing quality musical instruments, including organs priced at $35.00 and pianos at $175.00, as advertised on the cover. The illustration suggests a well-established business, showcasing a large factory, indicating a substantial operation. The brand name "Beethoven" was used for Victorian-era pianos and organs built by the Daniel F. Beatty Piano & Organ Company. Established around 1869, Beatty was a pioneer in utilizing the mail order system to sell his instruments, which allowed him to reach a vast rural customer base. In 1885, the Beethoven Organ Company was formally incorporated, succeeding Beatty's earlier efforts. The company continued under this name and later became part of the Needham Piano Company around 1892. This acquisition did not significantly alter the brand, and the Beethoven Piano Organ Company continued to operate until around 1903.
