BRITISH TYPEWRITERS.
TRADE HELPED BY KING’S INTEREST. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT Received Feb. 20, 2.50 p.m. LONDON, Fob. 19. Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister (Secretary of the Board of Trade) lost no time in acting on the King’s hint regarding the typewriters in Government offices (see page five). He interviewed the secretary of the Treasury, with the result that the Stationary Office, which supplies typewriters, is considering suitable action. The Stationary Office states that American typewriters are so largely used because British wore unobtainable during the war, when the demand was enormous. None have been bought since the war. British firms point out that they were unable to supply typewriters during war time, because they were devoting their machinery to munitions. British firms state the King’s remarks brought a flood of orders and inquiries.
