BEST SELLER
WINSTON CHURCHILL “TOBY.” DRINKING HIS HEALTH. A Toby jug of Mr Winston Churchill’s resolute and cheerful face is a best seller in the United States and Canada. The makers have doubled the value of china figures sent to North America since war. All told, Britain shipped nearly £2,000,000 worth more pottery overseas last year than the year before, and' was at the same time making much more industrial pottery for home use, especially chemical stoneware, to take the place of metals needed for the war. Chemical stoneware is now being used for pipe lines, valves, tanks, and storage vessels. It compares in strength with grey cast iron; it can be worked with a chisel; and it can even be ground to the most precise measurements. Stoneware, moreover, resists corrosion except by hydrofluoric acid. ( Once Germany alone was making laboratory porcelain. Today, Britain is supplying herself with laboratory porcelain and also with porcelain filters for water and acid filtration and for laboratory research.
