This Exposition stands among the leaders in Industrial Expositions in America. It is an edu cational institution which brings together the research developments and improve ments in equipment and materials for use in heating, ventilating and air conditioning all types of buildings. PUBLICATIONS Important to the field of heating, ventilating and air conditioning are the technical journals, trade papers and business publications serving these industries. They include regular monthly editions, special annual numbers and trade catalogs issued by commercial publishers; and many periodical and annual editions published by engineering societies and trade associations. These publications are a year-round source of information on the many problems involved in the design, production, distribution, operation and maintenance of heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment, and related problems in refrigeration. In editorial content and in their advertising pages are given a comprehensive review of developments in their respective branches of the industry. By means of scientific and .technical articles they disseminate information of value--they provide valuable data for the engineer, practical helps for the production man, and also serve the distributor, dealer, contractor, and the operating and maintenance man. PUBLICATIONS (p. 1126-1135) Specialized trade papers serving a specific branch of the industry; general publica tions serving^ the broader' field of the entire industry and profession; and technical publications providing the data necessary for scientific development of the industry. Many publications compile market statistics and provide merchandising sug gestions for their readers. These services are of value not only to their readers, but are important to manufacturers who advertise their products in the pages of these publications. Consistently read--and their contents correlated with private and govern mental data on development and distribution of heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment--these publications afford a "comprehensive under standing of the problems and progress of thejndiistry.as a whole. 1.125:
