visitors.
The convention has aroused interest not only in this country but abroad.
Our secretary has received word that a Belgian manufacturer will bring over
a machine to be exhibited.
The Executive Committee in charge of arrangements has overlooked no
detail to provide an interesting and instructive program throughout the entire
three days.
Reduced railroad rates amounting to one-half of the return fare are
assured, provided only 150 certificates are validated. Make sure to request
the ticket agent, when purchasing your ticket, for a certificate and submit it
to the secretary upon your arrival. This represents a substantial saving and
should not be overlooked.

executives will be present to meet the operators. Dozens of new machines
are to be nresented for the first time: new ticket scales; the new small model
