Lyon & Healy is always a safe bet when talking about mail order catalog guitars as at the time they were the biggest player in Chicago. They turned out not only Washburns but just after the turn of the century Regals. Oscar Schmidt (out of New Jersey) did not supply mail order houses while Harmony was at the time owned by competitor Sears. That would pretty much leave Stromberg/Kay Kraft which did supply Wards.
