BRITISH INDUSTRIES FAIR
NATION OF SHOPKEEPERS SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF. LONDON, February 21. “ We have been sneeringly called a nation of shopkeepers,” said the Duke of York at a banquet of sales managers. “ Well, there’s nothing to be ashamed of in shopkeeping, but only in keeping it badly, ill-planned, ill-managed, poorly arrayed, and poorly advertised. It is our job as an industrial nation to keep a shop and keep it better than anyone else, and be proud of doing so.” THE KING AND WIRELESS. (British Official News.) Press Association—By Wireless—Copyright. RUGBY, February 21 The King took particular interest in tho exhibit of wireless sets at tho fair, and revealed the fact that at Buckingham Palace he shares all the attractions and difficulties of a wireless listener. He confided to the expert in attendance his repeated disappointment at failing to get Paris or German stations, and the expert promptly showed the King'a set which ho declared would overcome these difficulties.
