Four Nations Contributed
to This China Sale
France. England, Japan ami our own great country are
represented by the output of their potteries. And as is be
fitting a wartime sale, the savings a fourth to a third
help offset the high prices of other things.
One might think because France and England have been
at war so long and have had their industries so badly crippled
that their contributions to the sale would not be up to stand
ard. On the contrary, they are a.s fine and beautiful as ever
they were and a little more so. ,
We prepared for this sale so far ahead and on such .f
large scale that in spite of the unprecedented business so far
wc stjll arc able to keep selection good from our great reserve
stocks.
