Sorry to take so long to post. I've been trying to get more information about the possibility that the clarinets may have been manufactured and/or sold under other names. I do know that the family business was originally started by Walter Rudolf (or Randolf) Yerke born 1891 who had a heart attack and died in Chicago while on a sales trip around 1950. Most of the clarinets were sold in the Chicago area. I believe that WR Yerke started his career as a repair man before starting the factory. While I can only make some assumptions I do know that a family member may have embezzled funds and with the sudden death of WR Yerke the factory was somewhat short lived.. I'll contact some family and see if I can gain more info...
