THE PRINCE'S ADVICE

‘.‘Time’ and trade wait for no man, especially as regards new and rapidly expanding communities of trade. . An opportunity missed is gone forever. There is no second barrel; and there are many people shooting. * ’ With these words the Prince of Wales concluded a fine speech, in which he ha,d urged British people to trade with British, people. The Prince was in great form* judging by the cabled report of his speech, which was delivered at a notable banquet held at the Mansion House to commemorate the British Industries Fair. The Prince struck a high note when he extolled British goods, for which he said there was an enormous potential demand in all Dominions, colonics and foreign countries which he had visited. He urged every manufacturer and every trader to explore overseas markets to the utmost, always to be alert, to miss'no opportunity of finding new outlets, but, above all, not to forget the markets within their own borders. He annealed to them to b.uy British *goods “first, and every time.” The Prince welcomed overseas visitors at the banquet table, because he

felt that the Fair would help them

to realise that “even if wo have suffered nightmares we are still able to get on with the job.” Thou, referring to the demand from foreign countries, he gave British manufacturers the solid advice with the quotation of which we commenced this article. They are weighty words.
