TOURING N.S-W. BACKBLOCKS. (FKOM OUR OWN CORHZSrONDENT.) bYDNEY, November 19. "With tho -words, "Buy Australianmade" in massive red letters on its sidos. especially conspicuous against the white in which it has been painted trom, end tajend, the Great White Exhibition, Train, organised by the Australianmade Preference League, in order to advertise -roods of Australian manufacture, is now engaged on a six months tour of the country districts of NewSouth "Wales. Nothing like this great mobile show, in which tho goods of manufacturers are most attractively displayed, has previously been organised in Australia. The goods are displayed in lb specially constructed vans. In addition, there are two sleepers, a dining-car, a brake van, and a power station to sirppiy all the necessary power and liglit. The train, which, is brilliantly illuminated at night, carries about 33 representatives of the Exhibition, as •n*ejl as a big staff of the League officers.' It will prove something of an evc-oponcr to the folk out in the Far West, for example, and with the programme of musical items which will be tirelessly transmitted nightly and its ovm moving picture show it will bring a little new life into some of tho .remote country centres through which it threads its way. . .

' Direct * telephonic communication ■between each compartment and the manager's office is another evidence of the thorough organisation of this big show on wheels. 'Die Exhibition, towards the cost of which the State Government has contributed EoCOO, should sive a' wonderful fillip to Australian industry.
