'Background: Back and side walls are covered with flag blue no seam matting edged with red, white and blue braided silk. Floor is covered with red crystalline cloth and draped over a partial platform in the rear of the window. Display: In the center of the back wall is a map of the United States raised a bit from the wall to make it stand out. All around this map are photographs of 50 Governors, 47 from the States and 3 from the Territories and under these photos are the names and states of all the Governors. Some are place on the platform on the floor in the back with the Chairman of the Conference at one end and the Host at the other. A welcome banner is placed in front behind which is a stand containing a small state flag for each of the 48 states and 4 territories. Remarks: This window is our best so far I believe, from the standpoint of attracting attention and being talked about. The coloring at night is particularly attractive with the two spot lights bringing out the colors quite vividly. We have had many residents call in and stop in to remark on the window and there have been as many as 25 people at one time looking at it out front. It has proven timely for two events, the Governors Conference and the Republican Convention in Philadelphia this week. The majority of the Governors as well as their parties also stopped by to see our display.'

'The size and design of the shaker screens now in use at the White Oak mines are the best that an experience of twenty years in preparing Smokeless Coal has found to be the best and yield a satisfactory screened and sized coal. A screen must first be of ample size to take care of the amount of tonnage passing over it, because of crowding and overloading a screen results in poorly screened and poorly sized coal. The screen shown in this picture is handling 400 tons per hour and still has ample screening space to spare. The flow of coal over these White Oak shaker screens is controlled by a feeder which cannot be become stopped up by coal sticking in the slots because the slots are wider at the base than at the top and are therefore self clearing. The lips keep the coal turning over and over so it is impossible for slack to ride over on the larger pieces. The coal never falls; it is always sliding while being screened which helps prevent breakage. Note the uniform size and firm character of the lump coal which has passed over the egg screen shown in this picture.'
