Kingsbury The Cable Company Chicago

Hi, what a great site! I have a piano with the name Kingsbury; The Cable Company Chicago. The serial number is 176708. I'd love to know where and when it was made. And could you perhaps point me towards a link that has information on this company? I found an article about a company in Chicago called "Cable Piano Company;" is that the same company? I'm just curious about who they were, how long they were around and if maybe they still exist under a different name, or were acquired by another company long ago, etc. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Bob

Thanks very much for your quick response. That link was the same one I had found. It seemed likely that "Cable Piano" was the same as "The Cable Company," but for some reason I had it in my head that there were two companies with similar names. Thanks again.
