Description:

Waterloo Cabinet Organs became the Waterloo Organ Co., which suffered a disastrous fire on May 27, 1881, at its manufacturing plant on the east side of Virginia Street. Alexander C. Reed and Malcolm Love, his nephew, then purchased the Waterloo Organ Manufacturing Co. and renamed it Malcolm Love and Co. At the World’s Columbian Exhibition in Chicago in 1893, the Waterloo Organ Co. had a booth that displayed its Malcolm Love Piano. This piano received an award for its fine tonal quality and workmanship. An official ribbon was given, a copy of which was attached to the back of each Malcolm Love Piano as long as they were manufactured in Waterloo. The company also received a bronze medal. Tragedy struck on Saturday evening, March 13, 1897, when the piano finishing factory building burned..
