CORONATION FLAGS
Large N.Z. Orders for Japan ENGLISH GOODS COPIED By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, September 18. A prominent Wellington commercial firm has received a letter from one of its representatives, drawing attention to a curious feature in the manufacture of Coronation souvenirs and their importation into New Zealand. Preparations are being made by manufacturers in England to cater for a big demand in various parts of the Empire next May for the King’s Coronation, the writer states. However, large orders from all over New Zealand have already gone to Japan, including, among others, thousands of Union Jacks and New Zealand flags for school children at ridiculously cheap prices. For some time past, illustrations have been appearing in English trade and other journals, showing English-made souvenirs of all kinds. These have been copied by Japanese manufacturers. Most of the British national Coronation souvenirs consisting of many classes of goods will, therefore, come from Japan. These goods can be bought at less than half the price of English goods.
