CHINA MANUFACTURER ENTERTAINS ASSEMBLED GROUP

The second meeting of Pick's Progressive Association, the new mutual benefit association of the salesmen of Albert Pick Co., the hotel supply house, was held last week at the Palmer House, in the Fountain Room. More than one hundred of the firm's employees were present, and in addition there were a number of invited guests. President J. W. Palmer was in the chair. Following the plan to have at each meeting some speaker from the factories which supply the company, Mr. Jackson, or the Warwick China Co., Wheeling, W. Va., addressed the meeting on the manufacture of china. Mr. Jackson followed the very successful plan of H. C. Fry at the first meeting by having on hand all the ingredients which enter into the manufacture of the ware. In his preliminary remarks he gave the history of "china," distinguishing it from earthenware, and then, rolling up his sleeves, proceeded to make a jug up to the point where it was ready for the first firing. When he had completed his task he told in detail the steps which would have to be taken before the jug would be ready for the display room. Needless to say, he held the attention of the audience from start to finish.
