Peru Electric Manufacturing Company Exhibit

Exhibition Notes — III.

PAGES FROM OUR EXPOSITION ALBUM.

LAST week we presented a number of views of leading exhibits at the National Electrical Exposition accompanied by notes upon them as well as upon many of the other exhibits of which our photographer had not, in spite of steady, hard work, succeeded In securing pictures at the time of our going to press. This week we are able to supplement our notes with a large number of fine views of exhibits previously described, but not hitherto illustrated. They will serve to give an excellent idea of the generally high quality of the exhibits and of the admirable decorative effects aimed at. It is said that no snow has ever been given in New York atwhich the effect or tout ensemble was better. This is the more striking when it is remembered that a large majority of exhibits embrace machinery of the most prosaic and practical character. Still, electricity is clean, neat and handy, and for this reason alone, if for no other, encourages the practitioner on such occasions to try his hand at decorative effects.

The exhibit of the Peru Electric Manufacturing Company, described in our last issue, is illustrated in the present number. The company not only make a beautiful and highly creditable display of their specialties, but are also advertising their porcelain in a decidedly novel way. Mr. Stevens, who represents the company, has favored us, among others, with a dainty inkstand, in the shape of an insulator made of Peru superior porcelain, capped with a removable slotted piece, and mounted in a nickel circlet supported by three handsomely turned binding posts, which serve as legs. The name of the company is stamped on the circlet. The inkstand is a useful souvenir as well as a good advertisement. It is needless to say that it is being much sought after and that the supply is necessarily for short of the demand.

Little three-year-old Helen Stevens is quite a drawing card at the company's booth, where she amuses herself nearly every evening with carbons, porcelains, binding posts, screws and screwdrivers, and other trade supplies, and attracts much attention by her prettiness and dexterity. She is known as the "Little Electric Girl," her only rival being the bright little chap, a year or two her senior, at the Birdsall Electric booth, who lights up his nose and mouth good-naturedly for the benefit of the passers-by.
