Committee Selects a Kimball Organ After Thorough Investigation of Several Makes. ( The committee appointed by the official board of Trinity Methodist church to purchase a new pipe organ, matte a second trip to Chicago Wednesday and as a result of the most careful and discriminating investigation finally bought the pipe organ from the Kimball Company, Chicago. The committee all went to Chicago except W. O. Rowles, but he was acquainted .with the Kimball Company organ and was in favor of that selection. . >

Dr. Curnick, J. J. Hunt, J. D. Allman and Dr. M. D. Gwin were the members of the committee who went to Chicago. Mrs. Dr. Gwin accompanied the committee by request, as she is the organist of the church and the committee desired her judgment on the matter of selecting the neyv organ. The committee made a very careful study ot pipe organs and had several organ men visit the city and make their estimates. The Kimball Company is one of the largest organ manufacturers in America and have installed organs in many of the largest churches in the country. They have pipe organs in Lafayette and many other of the best churches in Indiana.

The organ will have all the latest improvements. It will be electric action, with oscillating stops and will have a wonderful combination of tone and harmony. The pipe organ will be placed back of the pulpit with a beautiful front extending from the east, to the south walls. The keyboard will be in the southwest corner of the choir room. The committee feel assured that they have bought as good an organ as could be purchased with the-gift of Mr. George E. Hosmer, and it will be the largest pipe organ in the city.
