A BRITISH FAIR

The iiritisli !Imfiistrics Fail, which Mill be held simultaneously in the eities of .London, Birmingham, and Glasgow, from February 21st to -March 4th, promises to be the most striking exhibition of British manufactured goods yet placed before overseas buyers. The Fair is organised by the Department of Overseas Trade, having the imperial Government support behind it. Though the demonstrations are being held in different cities, they are, in reality, sections of one Fair. Together they u ill.,constitute the greatest trade fair in tlie world. The demonstration is not an exhibition in the ordinary sense. The general public are not invited. The list of visitors is confined solely to genuine trade buyers, which it is considered will greatly facilitate the despatch of business. Each city will specialise in different branches of trade —there will be no duplication—and in each case the exhibits will be under one roof. The range of goods displayed at past Fairs has been very large, hut the coining Fair will cover the whole field of British production. By its means the overseas buyer who ordinarily would have to travel the length of the, country seeking to fulfil his requirements, will have brought directly under his notice practically every thing that he is likely to require.
