That the Swiss embroidery trade is
more and more losing its American
market appears from recently pub

ne of Swiss embroidery exported to
The United States was 76,OOO,OO0
francs it is attributed TO the increased
American production.
In the last decade Swiss embroidery

ial Swiss expectation since 1896 is val
