In connection with the John Taylor Arms exhibit of etching,

 of Public Roads, Department of Agriculture, is now using this process 

 for making excellent road pictures for display purposes.

 Wood Court, Arts and Industries Building, during American fores- 

 try week, April 27 to May 3, 1925. This was designed to stimulate
