Members of the Japanese Mission visiting Philadelphia toured establishments and workshops around the city.  They were taken to several jewelry companies and a type and stereotype foundry and were given demonstrations in the state of the art workshops at each stop.  They also saw the Fairmont Park Water Works, the Good Will Fire Company, and the J.B. Lippincott and Company presses.  (By John Osborne)
