JAPAN’S ADVANCEMENT.
e ; — UTILISING ELECTRICITY. SPECTACULAR ADVERTISING. Speaking to a reporter of the "Manawatu Daily Times,” Mr William Cook, a well-known Palmerston North business man who has just completed a tour of Japan, said that oven in a small place the size of Ash-,-hydroelectric works enabled them ments would be elaborate to a degree. Of course, the country had immense water power, and the numerous’ large hydro-eletcric works enabled .them to have an abundance of electricity —more than in New Zealand. There were some immense rivers, very many of which were larger than the Manawatu, though some of them dried up in very rainless seasons. In most of the centres the chief* means of entertainment was the picture show, and •in places like Tokio, Yokohama, and Kobe the use of electricity for advertising by flashing signs made a great spectacle.
