the business world. Aside from his per-
sonality-and he is a most genial gen.
ueman-this may be said to be the SEQ
ret OF Mr.. Moller's marvellous success.
From one end OF his plant to the other
the organization, the loyalty of his men,
and the psinstaking and economical way
in which the work is done are at once
apparent even to the casual observer.
A Glimpse at the Plant.
The plant of the Moller Organ Works,
covering several acres Of ground, is sit
uated within the corporate limits Of
Hagerstown. 1t is made up Of a series
Of large buildings constructed and
equipped so as to maintain a high stand
ard Of efficiency and economy, and fitted
with the latest and most improved ma
chinery for the building of pipe-organs.
A great deal of the machinery and equip
ment has been invented by Mr.. Moller
and men in his employ, and throughout
the plant there are any number of won
derful labor-saving devices.

Mr.. E. o. Shulenberger, one Of Mr.. Mol
ler's right hand men, who has been there
for fifteen years, and who is an enthusi-
ast in his work. He took me first to

their jubilant praise to the Most High,
In churches scattered all over our broad
land: that bring from the dead past the
matchiess tones and lyrics Of the great
masters; that thunder forth the music
OF the world-now sad and solemn as q
funeral dirge, now joyous and hopeful
as a love-song, now serious and ma
jestic as in the presence OF great pur-
pose.
Has Built I,4OO Organs.
An idea Of the tremendous activity TO
which Mr.. Moller has given the better
years Of his life may be gained from
the fact that from 1852 to 1872 NJ. P. Mol
Ter has built in his factory at HaEers-
town FOURTEEN HUNDRED PIPE
ORGANS! Can any other organ builder
In the world show such a record as this?

speak--and we inspected the raw ma
terial. In the selection OF the material
that goes into the construction OF a
Moller plpe-organ the greatest care IL
exercised and only the best quality Of
wood and metal is used. And, as my
guide remarked. Mr.. Moller Is an organ
builder. who still believes that ivory
makes the best keys. for while other
manufacturers are using celluloid and
other compositions for their keys, those
on the Moller organs are made OF solid
ivory. And ivory doesn't grow on trees.
Finest Materials Used.
making the larger pipes, melting the zinc
and tin, and shaping the metal into the
great tone-produc'ng pipes with expert
accuracy, / was shown the machine
shops, lumber yards. the dry kiins and
engine rooms. The principal metals used
In constructing Moller organs are zinc,
tin, and lead, and these are blended to-
gether by the special Moller process. The
volume and quality OF tone produced by
an organ pipe depend upon the size of
the pipe itself. the size Of its mouth, ."
and the size and arrangement Of its
''teeth''-notches cut in a strip Of metal
called the "languid." There are pipes
from the great numerous pass All the
way along the scale to the shrill treble.
and every pipe that the Moller Organ
Works turns out Is made By HAND.
And, indeed. almost everything else used
IN their organs Is handmade.
The plant, as stated before, Is equipped
with especially-designed machinery, but

and shaped by a machine Il is finished by
hand. The wooden pipes, for example,
used in Moller organs are strictly hand
made, and not a particle OF metal is used.
the sides being fastened with wooden
pegs and glued together. This insures
purity OF tone. as Is the case in the
blending Of the tin and zinc for the
metal pipes. for the tin alone would pro-
duce too harsh a sound.
Mr.. Moller always has on hand at his
factory from one TO two million feet Of
lumber. selected with the utmost care
from all parts Of the country and the
world. He uses only the finest materials
obtainable and every known kind Of
wood is utilized In making and finishing
his famous instruments. from pine to
rosewood and mahogany, from oak 10
bird's-eye maple.
Takes Years to season.
At the plant there are two dry-kilns,
with a capacity OF about $4,000 feet Of
lumber, and from two to six years are
required to season this lumber before It

This seasoning Is looked upon by organ
makers as one OF the most important
features Of the business, and it is done

work cutting and shaping the seasoned
woods which are then sent to other parts
OF the factory to be finished by hand

the machine shops for the quick removal

The MoIler plsnt is equipped with It's
own private gas works, and. all the cleo
tric power and lights used are manu-
factured there. The engine room Is
equipped with a powerful engine OF 10
horsepower.
The factory has its own railroad tracks
running by the doors, from which the
organs are loaded onto cars and shipped
to all parts Of the country. There is
no drayage. and after the cars are care
fully loaded they are sealed by Moller
men and with the Moller private seal
So carefully is the work Of packing and
shipping done that only one case has
arisen within the past hve years where
breakage has occurred in transit.
An automatic system of IRE protection
Is established throughout the entire
plant. Pipes filed with water, and con-
overhead on every floor, and at a dis
tance of every few feet there are sprfnk-
iers so sensitive that they open at the
heat Of a match and throw water In
every direction. The factory has its
own telephone system. two elevators, and
travelling crane.
The Big Erecting Room.
Among many interesting features Of the
Moller plant Is the huge erecting room,
located between the two main buildings.
II Is built OF steel, with very high walls,
and has q glass roof. Here the parts of
all organs turned out by the factory
are assembled. ana the instrument built
IN It's entirety, so that each part is
seen to be perfect and fitted to its exact
place. After being built and tested IN
this room, which Is flooded with light, the
instrument Is taken down piece by piece.
Grated. packed, and shipped to the pur-
chaser.
When an organ Is sent out from the
ten expert craftsmen are sent to its
destination to put It IN place In church,

form to the acoustics OF the building IN
which II is placed.
