FROM DELCO CONVENTION

r. P. Harwood, local Delco-Light
dealer, returned this week from the
Fourth annual Delco-Light v
ton, which he attended in DAYTON.
Ohio on March 18th to Goth. He
came back displaying boundless en-
thusiasm over the trip and described
f~1uently the many unique and inter.
estlng features which were offered at
this convention of the makers and
sale smen of D%elco.Light, the we'll
known farm electic plant. Some of
the more striking features, says MIR.
HARDWOOD were: first the opening ses-
sion on Thursday morning when talks
were made by R. H. Grant, general
manager, and other officers of the
company. These talks. he stated. had
to do largely with the general ro-
position of the spread and develop

rural communities and many valuable
new electrical products were announ-
ced On Thursday afternoon, the
whole convention body of some L. 500
members were taken on q trim
through the great Delco-Light fac
tory, largest of its kind in the world
and covering more than q million
square feet of floor space. On Thurs.

with music produced and presented
exclusively for the Delco-Light or
%ganization. Fridays program dealt
with intimate service and financial
problems and included, also, a strik.

three day convention.
Mr.. Harwood declares that in his
opinion electricity is one of the most
important forces offered the farmer
today and that that opinion was
strengthened by what he saw and
heard at the tremendous gathering of
statesmen of electrical products. An
electrical exposition conducted by
about 100 manufacturers of electri-
cal appliances was a valuable feature

cludes that when all farmers come to
use electricity as they will one day,
the result will be a most valuable

questioned addition of untold COM

the enjoyment of the advantages that.
electricity alone affords.
