Peru display at the New York electrical exposition

Peru Electric Manufacturing Company's Exhibit.

Few, if any, booths at the electrical exposition in New York attracted more attention than that of the Peru Electric Manufacturing company of Peru. Ind., shown in the accompanying picture. The arrangement was in the shape of an octagon. On entering the booth, on each side, were two large highly polished oak boards, upon which were shown the company's leading special insulators, including various cut-outs, bushings, lamp bases, etc. At the back of the booth was also a large board which had a full line of the regular stock of cleats, tubes, rosettes, receptacles, insulators, etc., while on each side of this was arranged Laclede and Hercules primary batteries. One special feature of the exhibit was a new porcelain socket made without a projecting key, which, on one-eighth of a revolving turn, would turn the light on or off. The new catalogue, which is profusely illustrated, was a great demand, and J. T. Stevens, who was in charge of the company's exhibit, was kept responding to requests for "jut one more of those beautiful ink-stands." These souvenirs are in the shape of an insulator made by the Peru company, having the usual removable slotted piece for a cap, and mounted on a nickel stand; but the supply was quickly exhausted, so great was the demand.
