H. N. White people of note


	This page is dedicated to all of the fine men and women who worked for or helped The H. N. White Company grow into the success that it was. Everyone at the company was accountable for the extremely high quality that was built into every H. N. White instrument and deserves credit for their efforts. Even today, H. N. White instruments are in demand by those who recognize quality. In the following biographies I have attempted to provide the individual's years of employment, in addition to any known catalog pictures in which he or she appeared. Unfortunately, The Seeburg Company destroyed all of the H. N. White employee records. As such, this page is incomplete but with the help of others this page will continue to grow. Please contact me if you can help. Another www.hnwhite.com Exclusive! When ever possible the actual signature of the craftsmen has been added to the biography sheet!
