Unfinished business. 



Resolutions. 



Adjournment. 



The local entertainment committee 

 has prepared a number of trips to points 

 of interest, a special feature being a 

 visit to -Arnold Arboretum. 



The Trade Exhibits. 



The trade display refuses to show 

 much progress, in spite of the large 

 amount of work the committee puts on 

 it e.aoh year. The Somerset offered ex- 

 ceptionally fine surroundings for the ex- 

 hibition, but at a considerably larger 

 cost than the exhibitors or the asso- 

 ciation has had to meet in the past. 

 The showing was good, what there was 

 of it, but it never yet has been in pro- 

 portion to the extent of the industry, 

 or even in proportion to the interest 

 taken in the other features of the con- 

 vention, which is famous for the large 

 volume of business consummated be- 

 tween those present. The exhibits in 

 place on the opening day were as fol- 

 lows: 



A. B. Morse Co.. St. Joseph, , Mich., catalogues
