~eratlons past Germany has led the
world in toy Manufacture. although the
tremendous influx OF Teutons to this
country has resulted in a big impetus to
the enterprise in all the big American
cities. Here whole families can he found
steadily employed at ~toymaking Children
play quite as important a part In the work
as their parents and evince quite as much
pride and even a livelier interest in the
task than their elders,
In Germany toymaking is regarded as
one Of tie cOuntry's chief industries and
there are many factories in which toys
of one sort or another are turned out in
their entirety; and then, too, there are
others where only portions OF the work
are completed and the remainder Is done
by piece work by workmen in their homes.
Here Is where the entire family is assigned
some portion OF the work. This applies
more generally to the making of dolls.
The heads are made In the factories. as
are their W bodies. Then these parts
are assembled and turned over TO piece
workers, who take them home. put them
together and prepare the clothes for dolly,
dress her and send her back 20 the factory.
where the finishing touches are put ON
her before exporting her 60 the furthcrmost
corners Of the globe.
