OUTLOOK IS GOOD.
National Electrical Supply Com
pany Expect Prosperous Year.

The manufacturing branch OF the Ma
tlonal Electrical supply Company report
an exceptionally good outlook for the
year 1912. They have been making large
Quantities OF special telephone and wire
less telegraph apparatus for the Signal
Corps for the past two years. They have
Just made delivery TO the United States
army OF apparatus consisting OF nsId
telephones which were specially designed
and developed for this service, which
amounted TO over slO,O00 They have Just
received an order from the Cuban govern
ment, a contract aggregating about
5000, for wireless telegraph apparatus
to be used in the school OF instruction
for the Cuban army.
A Herald reporter on visiting the shops
OF the National Electrical Supply Com
pany found 4 force OF between forty and
nifty men busily engaged in an up-to-date,
completely equipped shop.
The manufacturing branch alone may
be considered as a manufacturing insti-
tuition OF which the commercial interests
Of Washington may well be proud.

PROGRESS PLBASES
EXCHANGE MEMBERS
President Prescott Says That
Growth Is Encouraging.

The work that has been accomplished
! by the Builders and Manufacturers Ex-
change during the past six months was
outlined by President Samuel J. Prescott
! before a meeting Of the exchange last
night.
Mr.. Prescott reported that the growth
Of the exchange during that time has
been most encouraging. He said the
membership had increased to l2I mem
bers, and that never before in the his
tory OF the association was sile treasury
in better shape.
The report showed that during the past
six months the number OF visitors to the
exhibition rooms in the exchange build
ing had averaged more than 40 a day
This unusually large attendance, Mr..
Prescott said, was proof OF the fact
that the people Of Washington are be-
ginning to realize the benefits In such
an exhibit. He said that the exhibits of
building and decorative material which
are now to be seen at the Builders Ex-
change are proving very valuable to
the architects and builders Of the city
in demonstrating to prospective patrons
the merits Of the different articles
shown.
Mr.. Prescott reported that the exchange
had been greatly benefited as the result
VI ils dmudIlOn Win the Interstate
Builders and Traders Association of
Maryland, Virginia, and the District of
Columbia, and with the Trades and
Workers Association. One Of the main
objects of both of these organizations is
the development OF a system OF local
employment bureaus.
In accordance with an agreement with
the latter association, the Washington
Builders Exchange entered into an ar
rangement to open a branch ONCE in this
city. Since the opening of this office.
Mr.. Prescott reported that the associa-
ton had been OF great value to members
Of the exchange In furnishing mechanics
timore branch for mechanics to MI re-
quests in Washington.
Mr.. Prescott told the members Of the
Washington Herald, whereby the Builders
junction with the Exhibit Company, edits
Tuesday of each week, known as the
builders page.
This page" said Mr.. Prescott. is
edited for the benefit of the members OF
the exchange and exhibitors. This Is
the only exchange that know or In the
country that is editing ITS own news IN
a full page once a week In a daily news
paper. Several other exchanges are get
ting out pamphlets and bulletins. but that
does not seem as beneficial to exchange
members, and certainly does not reach
the public. as does the daily newspaper.
We have received much favorable COM
ment on our work along these lines"
