Brown had condemned.
1t was argued that Greene and Gaynor
were extradited from Canada for partici-

that the industry is gaining very

Indeed, public approval of the man

200 years ago when the first pat

1t is known that in New England
and especially in Massachusetts. the
manufacture of educational and me-
chanical toys has increased consid-
erably OF late years. but the bulk OF
the toys that amuse the children so
much come from Germany and Swift
zerland.
Germany still counts the manufac-
tire of toys as ono of her greatest
industries. She sends at lenst three
fourths of the toys she manufactures
to other lands. the United States pur-
cha sing the most and Great Britain
ranking second. Out of toy pro-
