The production in 1913 was the larg-

underlying cause of this prosperity
is no doubt the improvement In the
character of the American product in
texture, finish, color, decoration. and
the prevention of Grazing, the higher

it has greatly exceeded them, the pro-

considerable decrease in exports Of
pottery, a record which should now
be reversed by reason of the changes
