AMERICA INDEPENDENT
OF GERMAN DYESTUFF

Bridgeport. Conn. Nov. 27.-
America has cast off its dependency
upon Germany for dyestuffs, with the
result that half the Deutschland's
first consignment still lies unsofd In
Baltimore warehouses. according to
an expert connected with one Of the
largest dye manufacturing concerns
in the country
With the expiration of some Ger
man patents several months ago. ac-
cording to this authority, American
concerns had free rein in experiment
ing. and a base product as good as
that for which Americans always de-
pend upon Germany Is s.iow being
sold for $3.50 a pound. The stuff
brought over by the Deutschland on
its first trip was selling for $3.50 a
pound when a market could be OBJ
tanned.
Gossip among dye makers says
this authority. is that many New YORK
concerns are buying alleged German
dyes, bearing German lettering, and
sold as part of the Deutschland's
cargo. which never was out OF
America.
