OFFICE OF THE ASSOCIATION, 166 MONTAGUE ST., BROOKLYN, N. Y., OFFICE OF THE EXPOSITION, FIFTH ST., BET. CEDAR AND STATE STS. BROOKLYN, March 10, 1893. Gentlemen:-The Executive Committee of the American Street-Railway Association is pleased to announce that the Milwaukee Industrial Exposition Building has been secured for the exhibition of supplies and manufactures of every nature used in the street railway business, in connection with the Twelfth Annual Meeting of the Association, to be held in the city of Milwaukee, Wis., commencing the third Wednesday in October, 1893, and lasting three days. The building has been engaged for two entire weeks, beginning October 9th and ending October 23d, thereby giving ample time for the setting up and removal of the largest and heaviest exhibits. By the dimensions of the building above, as well as the lithographic sketch of the ground floor sent herewith, a comprehensive idea of the size of the building will be obtained. The hall for the meeting is also in the same building, on the second floor, and delegates will be enabled to examine the exhibits with much greater satisfaction than heretofore, on account of the nearness of the meeting hall to the exhibits. An advantage, which will be appreciated by those desiring power, will be found in the 150 H. P. engine on the premises. The only additional charge therefor will be that which the cost of furnishing the same will amount to, pro rata, among the exhibitors using power. The nearness of Milwaukee to Chicago is considered to be a great advantage this year for making a satisfactory and extensive exhibit, as everybody will, of course, attend the Chicago Exposition; and it is believed not to be necessary to submit any argument setting forth the advantages to material men of taking part in this exhibit to be made under so much more favorable circumstances than any other previously held. The heaviest machinery and largest castings will all be under cover, and can, of course, be inspected much more advantageously than when in the street, especially should the weather be unpleasant any of the time. There is, of course, no extra charge for heating and lighting the building. A blank application for space as well as the rules and regulations governing the exposition are sent herewith. Should you desire to make application for space, will you please notify the Secretary at your earliest convenience, and oblige, Sincerely yours, W. J. RICHARDSON, Secretary. The following list of rules and regulations accompanied the foregoing letter: The Twelfth Annual Exhibition of the Association will open on Wednesday, October 18th, and and close on Friday, October 20th, 1893. It is the intention to make this year's exhibit by far the most interesting of any yet seen. A cordial invitation is extended to all manufacturers and producers of street-railway supplies to exhibit their machinery and wares, if pos sible in process of manufacture. RULES AND REGULATIONS. 1. Applications for space must be made on blank forms, one of which is enclosed herewith. 2. Space will be allotted on May 10th to all exhibitors whose applications have been filed with the Secretary and accepted on or before May 1st. Appli. cations for space received and accepted after May 1st will be allotted remaining space, if any, in the order of the acceptance of such applications. 3. The space will be charged for at the rate of ten cents a square foot, and no space less than 100 square feet will be rented, nor more than 2,000 square feet, unless by special arrangement with the Secretary. 4. Space allotted cannot be transferred without permission, and must be taken possession of on or before October 17th. 5. Articles placed on exhibition cannot be removed without the written permission of the Secretary, except as provided in Rule 18. 6. All goods shipped to the exhibition should be plainly marked "StreetRailway Exposition, Milwaukee, Wis." 7. On and after October 11th exhibitors and their agents and workmen will be admitted to the buildings for the purpose of preparing necessary structures. 8. The general reception of articles for exhibition will commence on October 11th. 9. The driving engines will be in operation on and after October 16th, and exhibitors of machinery in operation must have everything in running order, in readiness to start their machinery on the morning of the opening day. 10. All goods intended for exhibition must be on the premises and properly displayed on or before Tuesday evening, October 17th. II. Exhibitors must provide all counter-shafts, pulleys, belting, hangers, etc, necessary for the transmission of power to operate their machinery. 12. No platform or other structure must be nailed to the floors or walls. 13 Exhibitors must not place any sign or circulate advertisements, except such as pertain to their own business (and those only in their own space), without written permission from the Secretary. 14. Steam power and main shafting will be furnished to exhibitors at actual cost, to be charged for pro rata among those who use power. A main steam pipe, with numerous T's for connecting branches, will run through the Hall to furnish steam to those who require it. 15. The main shafting will not be interfered with or taken apart, therefore exhibitors must provide themselves with split pulleys. 16. All machinery will, if possible, be exhibited in motion, and should be kept in operation at regular work during the hours 9 to 12 A. M., 2 to 6, and 7 to closing P. M. 17. The main shafting is 33 inches in diameter, and driven at a uniform speed of 162 revolutions per minute. The other lines of shafting are of different sizes, and all driven at a uniform speed of 200 revolutions per minute. 18. SALE PRIVILEGES. Parties desiring to sell and deliver in the building any articles whatever, must first obtain a written permit from the Secretary, for such consideration as may be determined upon. 19. Any permit to sell may be revoked at any time, at the pleasure of the Association. 20. Every possible precaution will be taken to guard against fire, and a full corps of watchmen will be on duty day and night; but the Association will not be responsible for loss or damage to articles on exhibition by theft, fire or other wise. 21. The Association reserves the right to charge an admission fee to the citizens of Milwaukee should it so determine, but the admission of exhibitors and their agents will be free. For further particulars, address W. J. RICHARDSON, Secretary, American Street Railway Association. 166 Montague street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
