Besides his inherited advantages and technical ability, Mr F H Milsom has been greatly helped in developing the business by his knowledge of German, which has enabled him to trade directly with the best continental houses, and to engage the best skilled workmen for the new factory in Berlin, where the first of C Milsom & Son are now manufacturing their own Pianos, which have already found much favour with the musical profession in this country.
Mr F H Milsom is assisted by his partner, Mr H Hermitage, a gentleman of considerable experience, and with a large staff of men fully qualified in every branch of the trade to maintain the high reputation of the firm of C Milsom & Son. Mr F H Milsom died in April 1937 in his 83rd year. |
