This 2026 NIA Show Directory is an absolutely amazing piece of literature created by Doug Rusher. It is 78 packed pages with line history, insulators used in Montana with fantastic color photos of early lines still in service, historic photos of early lines, early telegraph lines including the Mulford & Biddle line and the W U Pattern line, Ramshorns insulators, the only known photo of the Porphyry Dike Mill where one of the Cochrane Suspension lines went to, historic individuals involved with early power transmission, the porcelain Cochrane info, the baby gutter top, a map where these lines went, and advertising for wants by fellow collectors. Each dealer packet will contain ONE of these directories. The Directory will be for sale at the Show and should be worth at least $20.00 but will set you back only $10.00. A super cool souvenir of the 2026 National Show.
