Flashing a startling come-back the Whiting Club, composed of employes of the Whiting & Davis, threw a scare into the camp of the Attleboro Falls Men’s Club the other night in their annual card, pool and billiard tournament. Going into the fourth and final sitting 40 points behind, the Whiting boys won 50 to 11, and came very near accomplishing the impossible. This makes one win each, as the Whiting Club won last year, and next year’s tournament should provide plenty of excitement.

A. N. R. J. A. Convention - St. Louis - 1924

Whiting & Davis, Plainville, Mass.

Perhaps no other exhibit at the convention attracted more attention than that of Whiting & Davis, of Plainville, Mass. Everyone was anxious to see in operation one of the machines that automatically makes the soldered mesh that has made this concern known throughout the world. On tables and on the walls were displayed 1,250 bags of every description in silver, gold, plated and fancy colors. These bags ranged in retail price for $7.50 to $225. Attention was called specially to their new line of Alice Delysia bags, an attractively shaped article combining a bag with a compact and opening each compartment at the will of the user. Another feature of the exhibit was the line of tapestry bags. These are made in different size and shape, and the tapestry effect is obtained by various colors of enamel on the fish scale mesh of which they are made. Chester Anderson demonstrated the mesh-making machine, and was constantly kept busy explaining how this machine made and wove together into mesh links from the smallest wire and how, when finished, the ends of each tiny link is soldered. Others present were Charles A. Whiting, Clifford Whiting and A. L. Clark. Mr. Clark was also showing a complete sample line of the chains made by the Whiting Chain Co.
