New York, March More than

lean public for toys in 1920, accord
ing to the prediction of Homer Ste

Toy exhibitors. in commenting upon
the recent birth and rapid growth of
the new industry in this country
The first attempt of American
manufacturers TO compete with the
Germans in the making of dolls was
hardly twelve years ago" stephens
said. 'Since then our doll industry
had grown until at the present time
tureFs make more dolls in one year
than all the manufa cturers of Ger
many ever made in the same length
of time for importation to the United
States
THE old toy phrase made in Ger
many will soon be changed to made
in America because all parts of the
world are now realizing Americas SUI
premacy in this new field. Big dis
tributors in every country except Rus
STA and Germany have visited our new
toy factory here in New York and
have made purchases.
In 1911, about $10.O00.000 worth
of toys We're imported from Germany
and about s125.O0O were manufac-
tured here. In 1920. we will sell 500.
900. 900 worth of toys manufactured
by American in this country. Ameri-
cans have just awakened TO the fact
that toys made in the United States
IRE not ornamental like the old Ger
man toys. but are constructive land
educa tional-that is why America has
given birth TO and is rearing well its
new found industry"
