THE SALEM Propucts ExXposirion. 
_ Under the direction of an active 
committee of ten men from the Board 
of Trade and ten from the Merchants 
Association, the city of Salem is go- 
ing to give a demonstration of the ex- 
tent and variety of her manufactures 
next week. For this purpose the use 
of the state armory has been secured, 
and Governor Foss is so much inter- 
ested in the event that he is coming 
down on Tuesday, April 18th, to see 
what Salem will have to offer, a com- 
prehensive demonstration of her man- 
ufacturing interests. om 
It has long been the boast of Salem 
that her industries were diversified, 
and thus did not suffer from those 
periodical depressions that come to 
those places devoted to a single in- 
dustry. The Naumkeag Steam Cot- 
ton Mills which pay out $12,000 
weekly to those who help to make the 
high grade of cotton cloth manufac- 
tured there, will show one of the 
latest improved looms in operation, 
weaving go-inch wide sheeting, while 
the other great industry of the city, 
shoe making, will be adequately rep- 
resented by the enterprising firm of 
Cass & Daly, who will put in a line 
of modern shoe machinery illustrat- 
ing the various processes through 
which Salem-made leather is put until 
it is ready to cover the foot of man. 
While these are the most important 
exhibits, they are only two of a wide 
range of Salem products. Leather 
working machinery, elevators, all 
sorts of steam and electric appliances 
will be there and processes akin to the 
leather and shoe industries will be 
well represented. The undertaking 
has met with the unqualified endorse- 
ment of the manufacturing interests 
and the retail business men are help- 
ing on the good work by making not- 
able the spring ‘“Merchants’ Week” 
by elaborate decorations and lighting 
of the streets. 
In this the electric light and the gas 
companies are using their most stren- 
uous efforts to make both the indoor 
and outdoor display brilliant. Cer- 
tainly Salem will be the center of the 
stage all next week and if the 
weather is favorable a splendid suc- 
cess is assured for the Salem Prod- 
ucts Exposition. 
Mayor Adams will start the show 
on Monday evening, accompanied by 
the city government, and having as 
guests the mayors of the Essex Coun- 
ty cities.
