AMERICA NOW HAS
GAINED PLACE IN
WORLD TOY TRADE

Chicago.-Toy manufacturers of
America who found their opportuH-
ity when war shut off imports, be-
leve they are NOW sufficiently i'll
trenched to retain the business thus
gained. They even expect to do
some exporting when shipping "a
ciiities are available.
The toy makers are holding
fair here, with Christmas goods
spread over several floors of big
downtown hotel. 1t was said that
scores of buyers who recently made
the usual annual pilgrimage to the
French and English fairs with
look into the general European
market, returned virtually empty
handed, more than ever convinced
of the economy and efficiency of the
American market.
To compete with the cheap labor
of Europe and Japan, Americans
have had to offer inducements
other than price, such as ingenious
mechanisms, durability and educa-
tional value.
The Japanese can undersell them
80 per cent, it is said, on ornaments
for the Christmas tree, but the
Americans have perfected tinsel,
wreaths and colored globes that are
expected to hold the market be
cause they are practically indie
structible and are fire proof.
In the higher priced mechanical
toys America has always led, and
has even been an exporter. This
trade of course will remain, dealers
say.
Immense quantities of dolls for
merly came from Germany, and
bisque heads are still imported
from France, but to all intents and
purposes America is now manufac-
turing dolls, the traders averred.
THE Germans used to dress their
dolls in their own conception Of the
styles of the countries to which
they were to be exported said the
dealer. THE result was often fun
ny. Since America entered the doll
business the play-babies have been
gowned in faithful reproductions of
