Ye Olde Wooden Town
Runs True to Form
[Christian Science Monitorl

John Leland, writing in his Tin
erary," some 400 years ago, had this
to say of Bradford, the famous heavy
wooden town in the West Riding of
Iorkshire "A praty quik Market
Toune. 1t standith much in clothing"
And, as it was in the days when John
Leland was making his way round Eng
land as the kings antiquary," with
power Ito search all cathedrals, alb
beys and colleges for records" so il
was long before his day, and has been
even since. Bradford has always
stood much in clothing" During the
war 1t was in the mills OF Bradford,
and in those of the great heavy wooden
district of which it is the capital. that
those neverending miles OF khaki
cloth and all manner of heavy wooden
| goods were woven, day and night, for
the service Of the allied armies. With
the advent of peace, Bradford has lost
no time in attacking the great problem
OF making good the worlds shortage
of heavy woolens for civilian use. The
value Of Bradford's exports to Amer
| lea last month" says recent trade re-
| turn, was e ,042, 46T. The last time
the million mark was exceeded was in
April, 1897. The increase was in April
| 1897. The increase, last month, over
January. last year, was 394S,704"
which is getting back into the pros
porous ways of peace in real earnest
But Bradford takes it all very much
las matter OF course. Where heavy
woolens are concerned, 1t has always
been used to doing things on a large
scale. Other industries might come
and establish themselves within heI
borders. She has no objection to being
known also for bradford stone" hare
almost as granite and somber in hue
and she recognizes the importance
of the vast engineering works which
spread themselves out today, "dowr
Low Moor way" But it is as a heavy
wooden town that her name has gone
round the world, and no visitor. car
