D. MANUFACTURED BY T.R.T. MANUFACTURING COMPANY (REUSING OLD WURLITZER ROLL NOS. 6668 TO 6676)
For a time we believed that the 6-tune rolls listed below, made up from old Wurlitzer masters, originated with Doyle H. Lane, who purchased the business assets and equipment of the T.R.T. Manufacturing Company in 1975 after the death of Ralph Tussing. For several years, before moving first to North Carolina, then to Middletown Springs, Vt., Doyle Lane did business in Canada as the Player Piano Centre.
However, a typewritten roll catalog issued by Ralph Tussing and dated by its recipient "6/62" lists those nine rolls. It is a mystery why he reused the particular roll numbers he did, since those numbers had been used by Wurlitzer in the 1930's for entirely different rolls.
