The Cooper Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church
of Randolph, Vt.. recently acquired a Kohler & Camp-
bell piano. The instrument has on several occasions
been used in place of the church organ. Despite the
size of the church, the volume of the piano is more
than sufficient. The pastor, Rutherford H. Moore,
declares that he is highly pleased with the perform-
ance of the Kohler & Campbell and considers it quite
indispensable.
