Ellsworth Johnson of Spokane, WA
By John Kadlec

Ed Chaban's request (MMD 020319) for information on Ellsworth Johnson
brought back memories from the distant past.  I had written to Mr.
Johnson, who was a fairly large dealer in automatic music instruments,
requesting a list of instruments which he had for sale at the time.
I will quote from his letterhead:

  Ellsworth Johnson Pianos
  Division of Johnson Electronics ... Est. 1934, Inc. 1958
  West 611 First Avenue,
  Spokane, Washington 99204

The instrument list contained descriptions and some photographs of
21 reproducing pianos, 2 Photoplayers, 4 coin pianos, and 1 Vorsetzer.
