H. W. Johns-Manville exhibited at the Atlantic City Convention

EXHIBITS AT THE ATLANTIC CITY CONVENTION

Full advantage was taken by the manufacturers of the opportunity afforded at Atlantic City for an elaborate display of apparatus with the result that the exhibits transcended any that have heretofore been held in connection with the meetings of the association. As the treasurer of the Manufacturers' Association said in presenting his report to that body, some 210 exhibitors took space, establishing a new record. As to the value of the exhibits to the operator, that is inestimable, though it may be said that hearty appreciation was individually expressed by the delegates of the opportunity that the excellent display afforded them of keeping abreast of the latest developments. That the exhibits are profitable, considered from the standpoint of the manufacturers, is borne out by the steady increase in the membership of the Manufacturers' Association and of companies seeking to display their products. While the accompanying notes are not elaborate, they serve to convey an idea of the extent and variety of the different exhibits:
