Convention Notes.

The exhibits of McGill, Porter & Berg comprised a most complete line of the many high-grade specialties represented by this young and enterprising firm. The most prominent features of this exhibit were the products of the Ohio Brass company, I-T-E circuit-breakers, Morris rail bonds, Speer carbon brushes, National electric heaters, Wilson trolley catchers, Ham sand boxes and a large display of trolley wheels and harps. Max A. Berg and E. R. Mason did the honors, while Mr. Speer talked about the self-lubricating motor and generator brushes. Mr. V. C. Gilpin, New York agent of the Cutter company, was present to meet the many satisfied users of the I-T-E goods. For the entertainment of the throng of visitors a quartet of colored men was provided. "The Convention Menu" prepared by this popular firm was one of the features of the convention, and the variety of good things provided made it an easy matter for any customer to make a suitable selection.
