New Pipe Organ
Delights M. E.
Congregation
To Be Dedicated at Sunday Service
February 29

With the installation of the new
pipe organ the Laclede M. E.
church can now boast of ranking
equal with metropolitan churches
as far as church music equipment is
concerned. The new instrument
is a two manuel and pedal organ
of nine speaking stops, nine coup
lers and all mechanical accessories
common to an instrument of this
size. The system of action is the
new direct electric, invented and
built only by the Wicks PIPE
Organ Co., of Highland, Illinois,
This system has the advantage of
being extremely simple in its con-
struction and through its simplicity
very reliable and durable. The
attack and repetition is instaneous,
a feature very much desired and
heretofore unattained by any other
form Of action. AS the name i'm
plies, the action is carried direct
from the key to the pipe over in
divldual electric circuits of which
there are over five hundred in the
organ. From a tonal standpoint
the organ is most complete instru-
ment, diapasons, flutes and strings,
all being represented, each in
their characteristic tone quality,
permitting of any number of
beautiful solo effects and the whole
blending into one grand. firm and
majestic tone of immense volume
in full organ.
The instrument is installed in a
chamber especially constructed by
building an addition to the church
and is encased with neat casework
of solid oak and speaking show
pipes richly decorated iu deep
Roman gold bronze. Power is
furnished by a rotary, electrically
driven blower and by a separate
motor-generator unit which sup
plies current for the action.
Mr.. E. j. Buchheim of the
Wicks Company together with Mr..
julius Wick as assistant, has been
doing the installation work here in
Laclede. The organ is the gener-
Gus gift of Mary E. McEfee, de-
ceased, to whose memory the
instrument will be dedicated on
Sunday, February %.
