    “加拿大最受欢迎的钢琴:海资曼公司”

     塞奥多·海资曼在多伦多的一个厨房里制作了第一架加拿大海资钢琴，并立即将其出售，用所得建立了自己的企业。他于1860年左右在多伦多创立了自己的公司，并于1866年将其注册成立，到1888年，海因茨曼能够在Junction开设一家新的钢琴制造厂。
      到19世纪90年代，Heintzman&Co.钢琴厂有200名工人，每年生产1000架新钢琴。在那些没有收音机，更不用说电视或电脑的日子里，钢琴是家庭和公共娱乐的中心。
      Heintzman钢琴当然不是市场上最便宜的品牌，但由于其高质量的声誉，它们卖得很好。随着公司的蓬勃发展，塞奥多·海资曼和他的有商业头脑的儿子们也在蓬勃发展。他们在当时繁荣的多伦多郊区Junction建造了一些最好的房子。直到20世纪，Heintzman仍然是多伦多一家受欢迎的企业，最终在20世纪70年代迁至欧文桑德地区。该家族在Junction的遗产在他们的遗产房屋里保留，并与附近的Heintzman街同名，该街曾通往他们的工厂。

Toronto Feature: Heintzman & Company
"Canada's Favourite Pianos: Heintzman & Co."
Legend has it that Theodor Heintzman made the first Canadian Heintzman piano in a Toronto kitchen and sold it immediately, using the proceeds to build his business. He founded his Toronto business around 1860, incorporated it in 1866 and by 1888 Heintzman was able to open a new piano building factory in the Junction.
By the 1890s, the Heintzman & Co. piano factory had 200 workers and was cranking out 1,000 new pianos a year. In those days, without radios, let alone televisions or computers, the piano was the centre of both home and public entertainment.
Heintzman pianos certainly weren't the cheapest brand on the market, but they sold well due to their reputation for high quality. As the company prospered, so did Theodor and his business-minded sons. They built some of the finest homes in the Junction, which was then a thriving Toronto suburb. Heintzman remained a popular Toronto business well into the 20th century, eventually relocating to the Owen Sound area in the 1970s. The family's legacy in the Junction is retained by their heritage houses, and as the namesake of nearby Heintzman Street, which used to lead to their factory.
