W. H. Paige and Company is a music retailer based in Indianapolis, Indiana. The company was founded in 1871 in Terre Haute, Indiana by William H. Paige, a vocal music teacher, and W. B. Warton, a real estate agent.[1] The company sold a variety of musical instruments, books, and phonographs. William Page died in 1901,[2] and the company was operated by his sons Warner and Frederick.
By 1977, the company was run by Warner Paige III, who opened a second location in Indianapolis, Indiana.[1] The Terre Haute location was later closed, as was a satellite store in Kokomo, Indiana.[3] The company now focuses primarily on band and orchestra instruments for schools,[4] and shares a storefront with J. W. Pepper & Son, Inc.[5][6] The company is listed in the "Top 200 Music Stores Ranked by Sales" by The Music Trades.[7]
