WHAT A SMASH.
2,000,000 CUPS AND GLASSES. LONDON, January C. Major Isidore Salmon, managing director of J. Lyons and Co., Ltd., says that the company has refused to cater for the Wembley Exhibition this year purely on business grounds. -Records show," he said, ''that repeat exhibitions are seldom successful. If the attendance falls short of the 1924 figures, expenses will not be covered. •'The chief difficulty in catering is the irregularity in numbers.
