AN EXAMPLE FROM SWEDEN.
“There is no necessity to diminish the 'heauty of a country because of the development of industry,” said Sir Martin Conway; M.P., in the House of Uonlmons, just before the dissolution. “ Stockholm is a beautiful town on the margin of many channels of the sea and rises out of the midst of woods. It has manufactures and industries of all kinds, and it is a prosperous city; but there is not a single disfiguring feature, as far as I know, in the surroundings of Stockholm as the result of modern developments. You see, planted by the side of the channels of the sea, factories which are like roads penetrating the country, but you never anywhere see such a thing as a displayed' name advertising the factory. There may be a small name printed in letters an inch high on a door, but in looking, from a distance at ahy of these places you r see no advertising signs, nothing disfiguring on the buildings and no advertising surrounding them. Nor is there a single displayed advertisement, as far as I know, all over the country.”
