manufacture' the general opinions expressed being that
the former were priced considerably above better class
o-oods of British manufacture, and that from such com
petition home firms had nothing to fear. The Ename
ware also was considered of low grade and high price.
The Brushes.—mainly of Argentine manufacture
were an indication of the extent to which that country
had developed her home industries m this particular
line during the war, and although crude m finish and
construction, were mad© of good quality material, and
illustrated a form of competition that could not lightly
be disregarded. , , . , , , 0 •
Most of the domestic electrical goods were of Swiss
and United States manufacture, and Local firms engaged
in producing similar articles found a good deal to inter
est them in the methods of manufacture, particularly in
respect of minor devices that suggested ideas for im
provement m their own products. About 200 samples
were loaned to firms at the close of the Exhibition
for further examination.
