prepare their specimens and put them

ed. These cases should have locks
and keys. The Commissioner, on re-
ceiving these cases, will transport
and install them in their proper places
In the Manufactures Building, and
will see that they are kept in order
during the Exposition. The atten-
ton OF all manufacturers Is called to
this notice. since the Commission will
not be able to furnish cases or do
more than transport and install ex-
hibits in their proper places. The
same may be said Of the Liberal Arts
