progress of the American people, a
highly interesting and readable

Museum To Open
Art Classes Sept. II

The Washington County Museum
of Fine Arts will open the 1880
season of its Art School on Satur-
day, September II.
Separate classes for children and
adults will be formed, to meet week
ly on Saturdays throughout the year
for thirty-one sessions. The Youth
Glass will meet from 100 to 2:15
p. M; the Adult Glass from 2:30 to
4:30 p. m. Easels and storage equip
ment will be furnished by the Mu-
scum, but each student will supply
his own paints or drawing materials.
These art classes are offered by
the Museum as public service, with
professional instruction as desired
in drawing, every type of painting,
and the graphic arts. The registra-
ton fee is $1,000 for the complete
year. Students may register only
for the full year. instruction is
based on the students experience.
The Art Class, however, offers more
than simply an art study group. Here
is an opportunity for independent
work and criticism. The class acts
as a type of seminar for the advanc-
ed painter and guidance for the be-
ginner. Membership in its group of
students gives access to the ex-
change of ideas among artists. the
relation of the arts, the Museums
collection, studio facilities, and in
Mr.. Thomas Danaher of MERGERS
burg, Pa, will again direct both
classes. His success with artists and
students over the past two years,
and his wide experience in the fields
of art, demonstrate Mr.. Danaher's
value in this capacity.

from its multitude of cast or forged
metal parts-such as the automobile
engine or brake drums for example.
Blast-cleaning by compressed air and
sand for such parts was used prior
to the first World War. In those
days, however, it required 80 men
to clean 100 engine blocks an hour
And the job was both dirty and dan
gerous. Since that time Pangborn
engineers have developed the clean
ing methods so effectively that today
their automatic ROTOBLAST clean
ing machines have increased produc-
ton to 240 engine blocks per hour
with the help of only four men and
cleaning costs are now cut to one
third of previous costs, a saving
which is passed on to the car buyer.
The new Pangborn brochure is
well illustrated with photographs
and drawings showing comparisons
of today's and past years products
and methods. The early history of
the Pangborn Corporation, an in
tegral part of the early history of
the industry, is likewise compared
with Pangborn today in a brief at
tractive presentation.
Copies of this brochure are being
mailed, along with personal let
ter from the president, Thomas w.
Pangborn, to 10000 top executives
and managers of leading American
industries and to the heads of large
industries abroad.
