The British Industries Fair A good point in this year's
British Industries Fair, which opened on Monday, is the number of trade groups organized by trade associations. Two of these have formed separate exhibitions—of cotton at the White City and of artificial silk goods at the Albert Hall— in addition to the two main sections of the Fair at Olympia and at Castle Bromwich, Birmingham. As usual during the first two days of the Fair buying was slow, though attendance in London was greater than ever before and many sections did better business than last year. These include, we are glad to hear, the Cotton Exhibition. The Fair is receiving whole-hearted support from all quarters, and, as usual, from the Royal Family. The Duke of Gloucester's speech, at the dinner given by the Government at the Guildhall, was noteworthy for its references to the benefits of better combination and the pooling of resources.
