The. development of the British dye industry has made it possible to impart, a rich diversity of colours to the material, and as manufacturers have mastered the secret of polishing it to a fine gleaming surface, its adaptability for conversion into knick-knacks is unlimited. The manufacturers have overcome till the technical difficulties, and arc now sending out in large quantities a great variety of articles made from casein.

The goods Birmingham is making arc claimed to be superior to anything Germany ever produced, and it took the manufacturers only two years to make casein a business proposition.
