The DH Baldwin Music House is no more. It had an uphill business in attempting to compete with the old reliable house of Townsley & Co and gave up the unequal struggle by closing out all its pianos, organs and music to Townsley & Co and then retiring from the field. This leads us to remark that for fair dealing, honest and genuine business enterprise the reliable music firm of Townsley & Co has a reputation that it may well be proud of. Not only does it control the trade of Crawfordsville and Montgomery County but also does a large business in Fountain, Parke, Boone, Tippecanoe, Clinton and surrounding counties. Go where you may you will find the Emerson piano and Chase organ and the owners pleased to speak a good word for Townsley & Co.
