advice from Mr. Longmore, coast rep
resentative of the Kimball Company,

from the factory May 25, and should

from there on June 26.
Mr. Elliott, manager of the pipe or
San department of the Kimball com
pany, has just made a visit to Seattle,
md reports that the organ, which has
jeen especially built for Captain Lath
•op’s new Cordova theatre, Is one of
;he best that has ever left the factory.
E. O. McCormick who spent some
lime here and In other parts of Alaska
ast fall as a member of a federal
commission sent north to report on
conditions in Alaska, is a personal
riend of Mr. Conway, president of
:he Kimball Company. Mr. McCor

uressive spirit of the country, that
lpon his return through Chicago, he

VIr. Conway.

liinself. Nothing has been omitted to
nake it as perfect an instrument as
he Kimball Company is capable of
urning out, and that means the best
irchestral organ that is being manu
actured today.
