Ing. This company built all of the clrc-
trical apparatus which furnishes power
for many Southern cotton mills, und
also for the power stations used in illum-
mating Southern cities. Many : uth-
ern street railways use almost cXclu-

the General Electric Company, and

company which can supply anything
for electric lighting from II dynamo TO
lamp, and anything for street rail-
ways between the engine shaft and car
axle, IT. Is evident that the interest
Is at once fixed upon any display they
may mako. With the broad spirit
which charactcrizcs this company's
policy, IT early decided to make an eX-
tcnsive exhibit 1T Charleston. The cX-
hibit required four freight cars TO tran
port 1t from Schenectady and is now
completely installed.
