Of the country to what has been known
that is the fact that we excel in the In

Thousands of Workmen.
Skilled workmen by the thousands have
taken their places when the whistles
blew in hundreds of workshops to turn
their ingenuity n cunning into
machinery, wearing apparel, ornaments,
foodstuffs, hardware. building material,
