settled, and work upon the plans for

Where the Matches Come From.

They are made in almost untold guam
titles in Sweden. Then China is max
ing them so fast and SO abundantly that
she completes even in the Hamburg
market with Sweden. At this moment
India comes along with yet larger sup
ply, and at prices that are wofully low,
as the European producer says. But
Japan will not be left out in the race, so
she joins with the manufacturers at the
Cape of Good Hope, and Brazil, and the
rivalry is more earnest than profitable
for the producers.
