THE BRITISH INDUSTRIES FAIR

[To the Editor of Tim SPECTATOR.] SIR,—It is good to see that the directors of Olympia have faith in and are planning for the future. While serving their own interests by erecting a great new building, they are at the same time spending 1:1,500,000 and giving employment to more than 2,000 men for two years. This is the type of courage and enterprise that is going to set us on our feet once again.

Moreover, with the British Industries Fair growing as it is, it will be surprising if industries which have not so far realized the necessity of showmanship to-day do not quickly take advantage of this development of the recognized centre of national and Imperial displays.—I am, Sir, &c.,
