HULL ADVERTISES EMPIRE
ENTHUSIASM OF ITS SUPPORTERS. HEAVY PURCHASING OF CROWDS. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Australian Press Association. London, Oct. 11. Perhaps no town or city in the United Kingdom has more enthusiastic supporters of the ideal of Empire trade than Hull, where the whole of the resources of the municipality and business people are thrown into the civic week, in which the resources of the Empire are featured everywhere. At the invitation of the London and North-Easternn Railway, Press representatives visited Hull. The whole city is beflagged and every shop window is devoted to Empire products. The Guildhall is converted into an Empire show window, where every conceivable product of the Dominions and colonies can be purchased. Since the opening throngs have clustered round the stalls and made heavy purchases. Indeed a hall thrice the size is needed to accommodate the crowds. The municipal authorities covered the cost of the organisation on the first day, which suggests that' Hull’s example might be followed profitably by other centres. The London and NorthEastern Railway officiate escorted the pressmen to the docks to inspect- the remarkably improved facilities for handling wool, wheat and fruit.
