ART EXHIBITION.
BENEFIT FOR NEEDY CRAFTSMEN.
GOODS DISPOSED OF BY BARTER
Received January 26, 1.25 p.m. PARIS, Jan. 25 ; The most astonishing art exhibition in history has closed after business valued at 2,500,000 francs for the benefit of needy craftsmen, but nothing was sold. Every picture, statue and object d’art was bartered for goods. One artist secured a motor ear in exchange for a picture, another several dozen bottles of Chablis; a surgeon gave a free operation and a physician a year’s free attendance. The Salon des Echanges was so successful that it will be repeated in 1934.
