From the newspaper’s Money Section: “Founded in 1623 by an Amernian in the Nar East, I’m the oldest continually family-owned business in America. I moved to Massachusetts in the 1900s, and I make and market musical instruments. My secret manufacturing process involves tin, copper and silver. Jazz kept me going in the Depression, when I worked in “hi-hat”, “low-sock” and “hi-sock” versions of my flagship product. Later came “Bop-Rides”, “Pings”, and “Sizzles”. Satisfied customers have included Gene Krupa, Max Roach, Ringo Starr and Keith Moon. I”m still the top name in my field and remin a privately held company. Who am I?”
