DAY BY DAY.

An unrivalled opportunity for inspecting the products of the To Help British manufacturing inthe dustries will be afforded Empire. by the British Trade Fair;

to be held in February and March next. These fairs were first established in 1915 and have proved so successful that the coming one will be on a vastly extended scale. The fairs are not exhibitions, and admission is restricted to bona fide buyers interested in particular trades. The exhibits must in all cases be the actual manufacture of the exhibitor. In London one group of trades will be represented, in Birmingham another, and a third in Glasgow. The three fairs will be held almost, but rot quite, concurrently, so that visitors interested in various classes of goods can conveniently attend all three in sequence. The idea is to bring buyers from abroad into touch with the actual manufacturers, and the whole of the manufacturers, in each trade. This will naturally economise both the time and money of visiting buyers, and as onlyaccredited buyers are admitted, inspection can be carried out and inquiries made and dealt with unhampered by tin crowds of sightseers in an ordinary exhibition. Side by side with the firms with whose products the buyer is acquainted will be those in the same line who have been unknown to him. Effective comparisons of price and quality can be made on*the spot, and the way opened for the establishment of valuable new connections. The opportunity i? one that should not be missed for knitting trade relations with the Mother Country still closer, and so adding to the'prosperity and stability of the Empire.
