1. Lyon & Healy. Band Herald. Chicago, IL: Lyon & Healy, 1917, [n.p.] The company was located at Wabash Ave. at Jackson. The catalog clearly states that in 1896,               
this company established a factory to produce “Own Make” brass instruments. Private communication.  http://www.peterhadams.com/L%20titles.htm              
2. "I have a copy of a publication called the "Lyon & Healy Band Herald" from 1917. It has photos of their factory in Chicago including photos of instruments being made.               
It also has drawings and descriptions of their "own make" and "improved own make" instruments."
