Condemnation and obtaining for personal gain

[gordon stelter]

Just for historical accuracy, let's please remember
that Mason was acquired by AMERICAN, in 1924, and did
not become part of the "Aeolian-American" conglomerate
until 1930, when those two, prior competitors, merged.
     Even then, they really did not make what I
consider to be "junk" until the mid-1960's.
