TRAVELING EXHIBIT READY
Mrs. Blanche Darling, chairman of the NBS Travelins Exhibit, repolts
that she now has nine frames ready to be sent out. Her aim has been to
select such educational material as could be explained in a few wofds and
illustrated with actual buttons better than in any other way'
The NBS extends borrowing privileges to local clubs and state societies
subject to these rules:
1. The borrower may obtain all frames or any selection of them'
2. The Society delivers the loan without cost to the borrower'

sured carrier.

5. Address requests to: Mrs. Blanche Darling, L135 E' Pinchot St"

when the exhibit is wanted for a special dated event, such as a button
sholv, fequests must be made well in advance. The cards have been en-
closed in cellophane-covered cardboard boxes to keep shipping costs as low
as possible.
The subjects now ready are: clean and coloretl Glassn one frame tl'om
Division I, one frame from Division III. The Division I frame was planned
to show selected classes from the regular classification. The Division III
frame was planned to show some of the newer types of eilass now on the
market as well as to call attention to the revival of some old types, such as
Baperweights.
