Convention Notes and Personals.

The R. Thomas & Sons company of East Liverpool, O., managed to do a neat piece of advertising through the energy of their hustling and popular representative "Tom" Grier. "Tom" was enterprising enough to see that those little knobs of white ware were well used in the temporary wiring of exhibition hall. Trust to "Tommy" Grier for ingenious and timely bits of advertising — he's an author, too, you know. J. E. Way, from New York, co-operated with Mr. Grier in his most excellent work.
