The exhibition as a whole has resulted in an increased demand for locally-made goods and .retailers have realised, as they never did before, that it is to their beJt interest to support home industries i« preference to those wf other countries The. public interest in the various dis plays continues unabated, and a feelint of patriotic pride in New Zealand's in dustrial progress is everywhere preva lent.
