The chief exhibit on this stand will be an imposing Veneeta, box-van type of body mounted on a Hanford chassis of the War Office subsidy type. On account of the manner of construction, Venesta boards and panels are unshrinkable and waterproof ; they are thus admirably adapted for use in the building of bodies for industrial machines. A celebrated London example is the "Johnnie Walker" Cornmerear van.
