vious exhibits. the volume OF business
has been very satisfactory, and the OPP
portunity of showing the new improve
ments. one of the chief reasons for the
annual exhibits. has been well utilized;
AS to the ACCESSIBILITY of holding the
annual shows so early, various opinions
are expressed, some makers oeeaarI NE

This is as 1t should be, for there is nc
