CARRYING ON

BUSINESS IN BRITAIN. LIVERPOOL RESIDENT'S LETTER. An indication that business continues in spite of enemy air raids is given in the following letter published by the “Christian Science Monitor.”: — Liverpool.

Dear Oswald, London is still doing business very much as usual. Our travelling man returned from there today with the spring orders and he says the companies we deal with are going right along. • Liverpool has had many raids but business still flourishes and I can vouch from personal observation at Liverpool, Southampton and Bristol that ships are still sailing in and out every day as they always have. Some of our towns have been knocked about a lot but not knocked out

It’s going to be a tough job. We are counting on a lot of material from you quickly. We are getting more confident every day but are not this time underestimating our task. It seems to me the real task will be when the conflict ends. We have plenty to eat. We are short of lemons and onions, but can get along. George.
