The Old Sign-Made In Germany

ft IT'S only, a matter of days now until the infant life of our || II cities will be making a young inferno of the public streets || II with hooters, trumpets and drums. |j II Proud, but flustered, mothers will be struggling after || |1 presents: and every retailer throughout the country will be ff !l displaying tempting arrays of gifts. If f| Of all the money spent, how much is going to go to New || If Zealand manufacturers, to British manufacturers—to Ger- || 11 man manufacturers! || || The war is over. Germany is supposed to be paying f| |f her debts with the proceeds of the trade she is steadily ff If building. But there are things she can never repay. 11 || Fritz is a cunning craftsman. He can apply unusual || || originality to goods which sell around Christmas time— || ff that same originality that evolved poison gases, liquid fire || ff and explosive bullets—the originality which put those little |j Ij crosses signifying "Killed in aotion',' on our Rolls of |j j| Honor. |f ifmHHiniMiuiiniMHmiMniimnnnniinniiniMiiHiiMnMiuninimmiiinu jMniinMMi]MNiniiiHiiiiiiimniimniiiiiiiiniiMmtmiimNiiHMiiMMMiiNMi
