SOMETHING NEW AND NOVEL
The Affair Will Last for Nearly Full
Month
Reception Given by the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' Association
General Manager S. B. Hynes of the
Terminal Railway the Recipient of
Very Handsome Greeting From
His Numerous Friends.

| The Merchants ana MANUFACTURERS
association last evening gave recep-
ton to S. B. Hynes, welcoming him back
| to his field of labor in Southern Cali
fornia.
The occasion was the regular monthly
meeting of the association, but the spe-
ciaf feature of the occasion was the
reception to Mr. Hynes. This gentleman
F! is we'll known to the business commun-
ity for he was for some years the gen.
eral freight and passenger agent of the
Southern California railway. He has
been away from Los Angeles for some
time, but recently was appointed as gen.
eral manager of the Terminal railway
| which position he now holds.
| Mr.. Hynes' old friends extended to
him last evening a warm and cordial
greeting, of which any man might well
| feel proud.
| MANUFACTURERS EXHIBITION.
| President H. w. Frank called the
meeting to order. He said that the small
attendance was undoubtedly due to the
| fact that some of the members were
present at the Good Government club.
He explained that the principal topic
was the discussion of the proposition for
local exhibition of home products.
President Frank added that he heartily
favored the idea, and he thought that 1t
could be made great success.
The committee having the matter in
charge reported as follows:
Your committee has given the subject
| of an exhibition of home manufactured
products a thorough study, and would
urgently recommend the holding of SUCH
| an exhibition.
1--WE consider that it would not only
| stimulate and increase our home in
| dustries, but it would enable our people
| to see for themselves what is being man
| ufactured in Southern California. We
send away thousands of dollars annu-
ally for manufactured articles many of
| which articles are now being or can
be manufactured in this city. 1t is.
| therefore, to our interests to show the
people of Southern California what our
mills and factories can do"
A RESOLUTION.
The committee presented the following
| resolution:
Resolved, That this association
heartily recommends the organization
| of a local exhibit of our home manu-
| featured products, to be held in this
city during the month of January, 1897
and we invite the chamber of commerce
| and the board of trade to unite with us
| hibition, by such earnest cooperation
in furthering the efforts of it's organizers
as they can properly give in their Off
cial capacity"
The resolution was the subject of
| some little discussion. j. G.. Chamber
| lain was the first speaker. He heartily
Endorsed the proposition and thought
that by proper effort great good would
| result from the exhibition.
| &C. D.Gray, who had proposed the idea
next explained briefly how he could ar
| range for a successful exhibition if it
| was decided upon. Hazards pavilion,
he said, was just the building desired
for the purpose. 1t was ample as to
size. The exhibition would have the
| good will and support of the people of
the state and of this section of it. There
would be about 10000 square feet of
| space that could be rented out for ex-
hibits. Then there were additional So
| cial features that could be added to It.
The walls could be devoted to an art
exhibit which could be made very hand
lily
Mr.. Gray spoke very logically of the
benefits to be derived from such an
exhibition as he had in view. 1t would
give the whole people a full and ade-
quate idea of what the city was doing
in the shape of home industries. There
would in all probability be II surplus.
and as all the finances would be handed
| ny t1e dSSOcldtlOH. tHe surplus cOuIQ
go to some charitable association.
Mr.. Gray had a number of diagrams
with him which he exhibited. showing
how Hazards pavilion could be sub
divided for the purposes of the exhibit
ton.
President Frank explained that the
president and secretary of the chamber
Of commerce and the president of the
board of trade had unofficially given
the proposition an Endorsement
Messrs Bergin, Ilewellyn and Bing-
ham spoke encouragingly of the idea.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED =
The resolution proposed by the COM
mittee, which is given in full above, was
| adopted.
The understanding was that the as
ISOLATION did rot take hold of the ex-
hiblt as an orgarizat ton, but that as in
divduals the members heartily in
dorsed the scheme. The idea is to get
the space taken by local manufacturers
| and then perfect an organization OF
Southern California manufacturers,an G
they take charge Of the exhibition, re.
ceive and disburse the funds.
The committees report on the sub
iect of an exhibition was adopted as a
ate with Mr.. Gray in taking the initia-
tory steps for an exhibition.
The secretary was also requested tt
| ask the chamber of commerce and the
board OF trade to each appoint a com.
mittee Of three to cooperate with the
association and Mr.. Gray in organizing
the exhibition.
Quite number of local manufactur.
ers present signed up for space last
evening.
