The value OF great events In the
manufacture OF toys was first taken
advantage of in Germany. The
Germans saw that children would
play at what their elders were talk
ing about. When nation Is at
war the children play war. The
war OF 1912 saw the introduction
of military toys in America. When
the German toy manufacturers
learned that America and England
were at war they manufactured
lead soldiers with red coats to rep-
resent the British. To oppose them
they had blue located soldiers to rep

came as late as November and some

the toy stores and for the toy de-

filled their counters with American
