SAVING THE BLACKSMITH.
NEW OUTLET FOR TRADE
British blacksmiths, whose trade has suffered so much from the condition of agricultural industry arid the decline of hbrse-dfawii traffic, are finding a new outlet for their energies.. They have discovered that there is a demand for wrought iron work, and with the help of the Rural Bureau; more than 100 smiths in various parts of the country are now making lamp-standards, fire-dogs, hinges and gates'.
The bureau, it is stated in its annual report, has prepared a number of designs which can be executed by the village smith, and it is hoped to arrange an exhibition of smiths' iron work in London in. conjunction with the Royal Institute of British Architects.
