There have been number of state
conventions held in Bennington dur
ing the past year but no organization
has made such an impression upon
the community as the Vermont Elec-
trical association which concluded its
two days gathering here last evening.
A large majority of the members and
associate members in attendance up
on the convention were young men
who were identified with the most
progressive industry of the present
age and the vigor and energy that
would naturally be associated with
the great business was at all times
apparent. They were a sociable lot
of men, too, made friends quickly
with the people they met and we
would all be pleased should the asso
citation make Bennington the perma
nent meeting place for all annual SEES
sions.

The boarding houses and no.

we'll as many other kinds of
business.

times larger than this.
