 The big industrial firms that are ex- hibittng have almost invariably sent to Seattle their most experienced and suc- cessfuI salesmen or workmen as dem0n- strators- The result soon makes itself felt, for the competition to attract and hold the attention of the crowds. as they pass through the buildings, is so keen that the visitors interest never has a chance to fag.
