Plumbing Goods md Hollow Ware.
wARERooMs, 531 AND 533 WOOD sTRERT.
One of the most interesting features of the
dustries is the space occupied by this COM
pany who do large export trade in plumb
ing goods and hollow ware. 1t is composed
principally OF "The Standard" porcelain
enameled bath tubs with fine exterior deco
rations in polished brass and marbleized
finish. "The Royal Albion" which sur
mounts the exhibit, is gorgeous and lux
urious bath tub and was much admired.
The panels are NEUROLOGICAL scenes in bas
relief, finely executed in solid bronze, ad-
mitted to be the finest piece of sanitary
plumbing work ever produced.
Another fine specimen has an exterior of
zinc, white and gold, with solid bronze feet.
A third is marbleized, fourth plain. All
these tubs have selected hardwood rims,
antique oak. mahogany and walnut, with
full nickel finished trimmings. This is
merely an index of the elegant display found
In the warerooms of the Standard Manu-
featuring Company, at the location above
indicated, where there are some most perfect
model bathrooms fitted up with elegance,
exemplifying the latest Improvements in
sanitary plumbing arrangements. They
exhibit IN the FULLEST sense the highest type
of perfection to which this science has at
tanned.
This company furnishes, gratis, beauti-
fully illustrated catalogue containing all
the items OF their extensive manufacture.
1t will afford them pleasure to throw open
their spacious manufaclory in Allegheny
for inspection of the delegates to the Pan
American Congress. These works are the
largest and most complete in the world of
their class and are operated entirely by nat
ural gas.

A branch industry OF the Standard Man
ufacturing Company, exhibit with this
corporation, collection of their advertising
signs in enameled sheet iron. These signs
are very durable, will hold their color, pol
ish and fresh appearance for a lifetime in
any kind OF atmosphere. They are shown
in many STYLES, from the largest street sign
down to door plates and name plates for
desks, etc. They are used extensively by
railroad and steamship companies. Being
comparatively inexpensive they are in real
ity the most economical signs ever invented.

without ostentation or flourish, and only
now. in honor OF the city's dis
tinguished guests, are they show
ing their capabilities; for the goods
displayed are a fair index of their
manufactures. New things are constantly
designed, corps of assistants at home and
abroad being devoted to this purpose. They
have also accomplished the largest brass
spinning done in the United States. They
ship from ocean to ocean (with good trade
in the Canadas); to all South America, Aus
tralia and the West Indies, with a business
that is steadily growing, and all of this has
been accomplished in such an unobstruslve
manner that Pittsburgers are not prepared
for what is in store tor them in seeing this
display, though they must admire once and
for all the business scumen which has
brought the Pittsburg Brass Company IN
this brief time to its present position and
power as one of Pittsburg's most important

modern appliances devoted to an industry
so important as drilling for gas, oil or water
and handling the same in scientific man.
ner, this exhibit commends itself most
forcibly. In a limited space all the
matters pertaining to this business
are illustrated in the various lines
of progression of which this vast field
of industry is so fruitful. Models of the
derricks in common use adorn the outer
portion of the space, while tools of a
scientific order fill the interior. Among
the most conspicuous are the "Mogul Drill
ing Engine" and ''The Pipe Cutting Ma
chimes" These are triumphs of mechanical
skill, and have secured pre-eminence through
a thorough and practical demonstration of
their use by this company, who are pioneers
and intelligent experts in the usage of
the most advanced ideas in mechanics
pertaining to this branch of industry.
All the minor accessories of their
craft are fully illustrated in imple-
ments they employ to facilitate the
ready artisan who carries out the prac
tioal part of this increasing business.
The Oil Well Supply Company is a very
extensive organization. They were the first
and are to-day the only concern capable or
able within itself to furnish rom their own
manufactures and shops, everything neces-
sary to drill oil, gas or artesian wells of any
kind, fit them up to produce and supply the
necessary connections and pipes for taking
away the product when found. TLey have
seven % different manufacturing institu-
tions connected almost exclusively with the
business, and in those manu- actories employ
fully !, 400 men. In addition they have
three main Offices or departments,
namely, Pittsburg, Oil City and

MACHINERY HALL REFLECTS ENERGY

The comprehensive industrial resources Of
this city were never more sptly illustrated
than in the business-like and handsome ex-
hibit by resident and outside companies
doing business in Pittsburg, made at Ma
chinery Hall last evening. There were
many things little short of marvellous, and,
above ali, the peculiar scope of the exhibits
appealed to the desire of the distinguished
visitors 20 view the practical instead of the
theoretical.
A bewildering blaze of light was emitted
qy the magnificent system of electrical
illumination of the Thomson Houston Com
pRny. Even the diamonds of the Coldil-
leras could not have excelled the brilliancy
of the display. Should the stratas of the
Andes give forth oil or fluid fuel, there
could be no completer equipment secured
than that exhibited by the Oil Well Supply
Company. The wealth of the Southron's
would find the best possible protection in
the Barnes Safe Company's immense reposi-
tories. Health and hygiene even in the
grateful climates OF South America are Ger
tainlyto be subserved in the use of the
goods manufactured by the Standard
Manufacturing Company. The FIRE

hibits mentioned in detail below which also
attracted wonder and admiration. There
could not have been happier idea than a
condensed exhibit of Pittsburg's in-
dustrial marvels, or one more success
fully carried to completion. The visi-
tors were certainly powerfully impressed.
The Westinghouse electric display adjoined
the airbrake exhibit, and noticeable feature
was the printing of souvenirs in the Spanish
Language, the press power being supplied by
an electric motor The airbrake exhibit con-
tained the fullest and most complete repre-
sentation OF this important detail of railroad
equipment, and was universally admired.

PITTsBURG BRASS COMPANY,
Allegheny, PENNSYLVANIA,

This brilliant, yet thoroughly practical
display, found near center of Mechanical
Hall, elected highest commendation; the
rich hued cardinal floor covering serving to
make fully conspicuous the shining polished
brass work. Around the exhibit by way of
fencing have been placed host of hand
some tenders, made more pronounced by an
inner palisade of parlor lamps IN one hun
dred designs, forming a complete circuit.
What may be termed the center piece of the
display is a quadruple standard of brass,
each upright supporting a double bracket
with lamps; above these the firm name on a
very elaborate sign capped with lamps.
On table near are found vase and banquet
lamps in several STYLES of finish, such as
polished and antique brass, royal copper,
bright and oxidized silver. Some of these
have a delicate brass open foundry work, in
lace designs that are very surprising in such
q material.
That this firm makes all sorts, sizes and
numberless patterns of tubing and mold
ings, is clearly demonstrated in this display;
they convey such limitless possibilities in
the way of ornamental brass Punishment
for private houses offices and public halls,
for which there can be no more elegant or
artistic adornment; this section includes
gas filters work, etc.
Other attractive and useful articles are in
great variety OF ideas. Such prosaic and
practical things as umbrella stands. Gus
pidores, coal vases and hods, vieing in
beauty with the easels and music racks nat
urally associated with art, or the handsome
jardinieres, which, unconsciously, bring
thoughts of fragrant flowers.

burg" mammoth lamp, which has attained
such marked success in the few months 1t
has been on the market. All of these
lamps have the "PittSburg burner" and
they are intended to light stores, halls,
churches and all large spaces, as they are
of 800 candle power, yet at cost of but 1
cent an hour for oil. No other lamp can
illuminate the same space, burning as little
oil, or with as little heat and without odor.

ton between the first and last car is six
tenths of second. The brakes are auto
matically applied by the separation of the
hose couplings, or the bursting or breaking
of any of the pipe connections.
A train fitted with these brakes, running
at the rate of 38 miles per hour, has been

fact, they manufacture nearly everything
within themselves and keep everything per
tanning to this line. They are constantly
shipping outfits for drilling for water, oil
or gas nearly all over the world.

vast amount of items connected with this
industry, and can be studied with advantage
BY those who are seeking the best and most
scientific methods of prosecuting the work
connected with this enormous business.
Greetings of iraternal nature are hereby
extended to the representatives Of the Pam
