The Manville Covering company's contingent was of good size. S. H. Finney came from Chicago to represent the electrical department, while William A. Buddeck, manager of the St. Louis branch, left the Mound City for a few days to mingle with the Kansas City throng. W. R. Kendall, from St. Louis, was also there. The Manville Covering company is the selling representative of the H. W. Johns Manufacturing company, which was represented by A. Hall Berry, manager of the electrical department, New York. D. T. Dickkson and J. W. Pay from Philadelphia, Joseph Sachs from New York and E. B. Hatch from the Johns-Pratt company, Hartford, Conn., were present. The H. W. Johns Manufacturing company had an interesting display of its overhead line material, Johns electric heaters and vulcabeston insulating pieces. Mr. Sachs, in able and interesting manner, demonstrated the action of the Sachs' No-arc fuse and car cutouts. The Manville Covering company's steam-pipe and boiler covering was shown in different sizes, to meet all requirements.
