Reflection of War on Toy
Market--No Scarcity in
Supply of Playthings of
All Kinds.

Heres good news for you, boys and
girls.
Expensive toys which have been so
scarce since the war was begun, are now
to be had in abundance, and even IL peace
is not declared within five years the
nursery will not suffer to any extent
On your dolls piano, your sled, or that
fine drum that YOU have been using for
many years YOU have noticed the words
Made in Germany" In fact, on all
most all of your best playthings these
words appear.
But conditions have changed since the
European armies were assembled. and
hereafter on many of your toys will be
printed in great, broad letters MADE in
America And, by the way, Philadel-
phia boasts Of the largest toy factory
in the United states
When commerce between this country
aud the German empire was discontinued
the toy merchants were frantic. Their
business depended almost entirely upon
importations. Toys of q certain kind
were plentiful enough here. but the deli
cate tin playthres, dolls that make
speeches. and all OF those things which
ARE typically German were not obtain
able hcre.
The American toy man is rcsourceful.
