Columbia College Buys Seven
Pianos from Rice & Sons
Emert S. Rice, President of W. S.
Rice & Sons Music House, Columbia,
S. C, reports the sale of six new studio
pianos and a Steinway grand piano to
Columbia College, a Methodist girls'
school located in his city.
When the pianos were delivered, the
interesting picture shown herewith was
snapped and the piano van had brought
the studio pianos direct from the fac-
tory to the customer's door, without
any intermediate handling. "In fact,"
said Mr. Rice, "our van handles about
90% of our major yearly freight."
In addition to the above, Columbia
College uses a concert model Ham-
mond organ as a practice instrument
as well as teaching purposes for Ham-
mond organ students. Professor Fred
H. Parker, who is shown in the picture,
also requires that all organ students
during their term use the Hammond
organ in order to acquaint them with
this unique type of electronic instru-
ment.
Those who appear in the picture,
from left to right, are Dr. R. Wright
Spears, President of Columbia College,
Mr. Rice, Thomas G. Shuler, Assistant
to the President of Columbia College,
Miss Margaret Richards, teacher of
Piano Major students of the college,
and Professor Parker.
