THE SECOND NATIONAL EXPOSITION 

 OF CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES 



The Second National Exposition of Chem- 

 ical Industries will be held at the Grand Cen- 

 tral Palace, New York City, during the week 

 of September 25-30, 1916. The Advisory Com- 

 mittee of the Exposition is as follows : Chas. 

 H. Herty, chairman, Raymond F. Bacon, L. H. 

 Baekeland, Henry B. Eaber, Francis A. J. 

 Fitzgerland, Bernard C. Hesse, A. D. Little, 

 B. P. Perry, Wm. Cooper Procter, E. F. 

 Boeber, George D. Bosengarten, T. B. Wagner, 

 TJtley Wedge, M. C. Whitaker and Charles F. 

 Both and Adriaan N/agelvoort, managers. 



The roster of exhibitors includes most of the 

 leading companies doing business with those 

 industries wherein chemistry plays a part. 

 From this list it appears that the exposition is 

 already twice the size of its successful prede- 

 cessor. 



The managers anticipate an even greater 

 number of visitors to attend this second expo- 

 sition. The chemical and engineering soci- 

 eties that last year had their attention divided 

 with the attractions of the exposition and the 

 engineering congresses on the Pacific coast, 

 have this year united and arranged to hold 

 their annual meetings in N/ew York during 

 and in conjunction with the exposition. 



The American Chemical Society will hold 

 its annual meeting during the whole week — 

 the program for the meeting is now being ar- 

 ranged and the committees appointed. The 

 American Electrochemical Society has ar- 

 ranged to hold its meetings the latter part of 

 the week, September 28, 29 and 30. The 

 Technical Association of the American Pulp 

 and Paper Industry is arranging its meeting 

 for this week, and other societies are expected 

 to hold meetings.
