"THE Crockery Compact has not been a

the place that has the best known reputa-
| ton with their orders, while the smaller
works are compelled to scratch along
among the leavings for their trade. be-
lieve it will prove good thing for the en-
tire trade in time, as it will make each
pottery endeavor 10 produce the best ware,
and competition will be directed more in
that channel than in the price. But il will
be scorcher on the small trade"
