THE INVADERS IN LONDON.
Landing at Southampton | came d.
rectly to London. There was a special
train for the passengers waiting at the
wharf. The\trip took less than two
hours and 1t was about the middle Of
the afternoon when / reached my hotel.
This gave me couple Of hours before
dark for a stroll, during which noted
some OF the evidences OF the American
Invasion. Suppose you take the walk
with me We start at the Hotel Cecil
In the busiest part OF the Strsnd. The
street Is full Of hansoms, four-wheelers
and great two-story buses which are
going on the tr0t back and forth be-
tween the city and the West End. The
buses are heavy two-stOry affairs,
with dozen seats on the roof, as we'll

when they were told that the American
Diamond Match company had appeared
on the scene and proposes TO compete
for the trade. They soon changed their
minds, however. and this Is what hap
pened The English were using old
machinery The American company
had the best and the newest of patents.
They established factories and easily
undersold their English competitors.
They got TO the front and kept there.

cry TO withstand the Americans, but
II was not to be found The result was
that they threw their hands and were
absorbed by the Diamond Match COM

held.
The Americans have the machines
and the patents, and their success
showed they were well justified for
their big expenses in perfecting their
machinery which II is said, often cost
them $4,000 a year and upward In
one year the company paid S25O00O for
patents. II has always paid dividends
to its stockholders. The words Sup

find them scattered aere and there all
over London. The English can make a
good shoe-they call shoes boots-hut

little comfort Tho leather looks as
though It was chopped out with a
Ratchet and the toes are sharp. Their
shoes cost more 10 make than ours, and
the results is we are selling them more
than 100000 worth OF shoes every
year
