The Company unfortunately had to dispose of the Pipe Organ Branch of their business (formerly Griffen and Stroud) owing to the sudden death during the war of Mr H J Griffen. His son Mr L Griffen was in the army and there was no-one left to carry on this fine old business, all the pipe organ staff, with the exception of two, being in the Forces.
