Dan Hemingray in San Francisco for the next 10 days

PERSONAL.

Willard W. Low, D. Hemingray, A. N. Palmer

It was midnight when the bells rang in the arrival of the only famous “Billy” Low, president of the Electric Appliance Com­pany, of Chicago and San Francisco.

"Billy" accompanied by “Dan” Hemingray of the World’s famous Hemingray Company, manufacturers of the Hemingray Insulators, arrived on the midnight train from Chicago.

Willard W. (Billy) Low

Mr. Low is making his annual visit to the Coast in the interests of the company he represents, and the trade in general hopes that he will find a few leisure moments in which we might acquaint him with some of our “latest born.”

Since “Billy’s” last trip to the Coast there are many new faces in the field and many new companies organ­ized. As it is essential that everyone in the electrical business should know “Billy” and he is just as anxious to know them, it is therefore the humble duty of the boys of the Coast, and especially of ’Frisco, to see that Mr. Low is carefully looked after. No one from the Pacific Coast has ever gone beyond the Rockies without meeting this same “Billy” Low; and history does not relate the time when any of our boys has ever known to want for anything when on any of their sojourns to his town.

Mr. Low and Mr. Hemingray will be in San Francisco for the next ten days, as will also Mr. A. N. (Al) Palmer, general sales manager of the Phillips Insulated Wire Co., whose wide ex­perience in things electrical and otherwise has made him famous, also no one that we know of is better prepared or is any more willing to offer to the trade his knowledge of the famous “O.K. weather-proof and “Parac" rubber-covered wires than this same “Al" Palmer.

We have also in our midst the famous McDowell, who, for the past fourteen years, has been travelling to the Coast in the interests of the Manhattan Electrical Supply Company, and whose smiling face is just as familiar on Cortland Street, New York, as that of “Billy” Low at any of our annual conventions.

The trade in general, and THE JOURNAL in particular, extends to our distinguished guests a most cordial welcome, and we trust that next year will see them with us again.
