E.  Pritchard,  F.  M.  Apple,  Christopher  Koch,  Jr.,  and  F.  H.  Cope, 
in  which  the  subject  was  treated  from  various  standpoints,  and  which 
created  a  lengthy  discussion,  participated  in  by  Messrs.  Bone,  Wil- 
bert,  Apple,  Koch,  Cope,  Kressler,  Osterlund,  Krause  and  Stanis- 
laus, during  which  many  valuable  points  were  brought  out,  particu- 
larly as  to  the  value  and  method  of  detailing  physicians  with  regard 
to  the  preparations  taken  up. 
Mr.  C.  L  Bonta  then  gave  an  interesting  ten  minutes'  talk  on 
advertising,  illustrated  by  a  number  of  charts  prepared  for  the  pur- 
pose. Mr.  Bonta  was  granted  a  rising  vote  of  thanks  on  motion  of 
Mr.  Bone. 
A  paper  on  a  new  form  of  mixing  device  by  Mr.  I.  M.  Weills,  of 
Harrisburg,  was  read  by  Mr.  Croll  Keller,  who  showed  the  actual 
working  of  the  apparatus.  On  motion,  it  was  decided  to  include  a 
photographic  reproduction  of  the  device  in  the  Proceedings. 
Mr.  ClifTe  read  two  papers,  by  Mr.  G.  M.  Beringer,  on  the  subject 
of  synonyms  of  some  of  the  more  common  preparations,  after  which 
the  meeting  adjourned. 
The  last  session  of  the  Association  was  held  on  Thursday  evening 
at  8.30  o'clock.  A  paper  was  read  by  C.  H.  LaWall,  entitled  "  The 
Label  and  the  Law,"  which  was  followed  by  a  short  paper  on  "A 
Novel  Window  Display/'  by  Mr.  R.  H.  Lackey.  Chairman  LaWall 
then  read  by  title  over  twenty  papers  which  had  been  presented, 
and  which  could  not  be  read  on  account  of  insufficient  time,  after 
which  the  officers  for  the  ensuing  year  were  installed. 
A  feature  of  this  year's  closing  session  was  the  introduction  of  a 
new  body,  called  "The  Salesmen's  Auxiliary,"  with  a  membership 
of  about  fifty,  Mr.  Frank  W.  Smith,  of  Philadelphia,  being  President ; 
Mr.  A.  L.  Wolcott,  of  Philadelphia,  Secretary,  and  Mr,  McFenan, 
of  Philadelphia,  Treasurer.  After  the  re-appointment  of  Messrs. 
Bransome,  Byers  and  Busch,  and  their  installation  as  the  Entertain- 
ment Committee  for  the  coming  year,  the  Association  adjourned  to 
meet  at  Bedford  Springs  in  June,  1909.
