SODA FOUNTAINS INVADE
GREAT BRITAIN GUSHING
FORTH OPPORTUNITIES

Great Britain has fallen for and
adopted another American product
Of exceptional utility and worth
the soda fountain.
While that apparatus Is extremely
popular in this country in view OF
recent developments, there seems to
be no particular need for one on an
island that Is as wet as the sea
that surrounds it, but Consul Calvin
H, Hitch, at Nottingham, assures
the Department of Commerce that
they can NOW be found in most Of
the provincial cities of the United
Kingdom Until recently. however,
the consul said, "they were prac-
tically unknown in this country out
side of London"
The majority Of the soda fountains
now being sold in England are pur-
chased by the proprietors of choco-
late shops, cafes and department
stores, the consurs report states.
So far, though, none of them has
been installed in drug stores. MIR.
Hitch says, but he prophesies that
''this class of trade may later be
developed and should prove very
profitable"
Following out his duty Of looking
out for trade possibilities for Ameri-
can business men, the consul Sug-
gests that large concerns in the
United States who engage in the
manufacture of soda fountains. ice
cream freeZers and similar classes
of goods. "should investigate this
market and consider the advisability
of opening branch houses in one of
the larger cities of the United King
DOM"

gestion that the people of Washing

ceived because of its charitable tinge.

counsel, and Charles A. Douglas, at
torney, who have volunteered to give
their legal services to the cause, were
selected to draft the text of the BILL

lief for those permanently injured;
those who suffered temporary In
juries and financial loss and those
who are dependents because of the
disaster. Upon completion of the bill
it will De turned over to Representa-
tive Focht, chairman of the House

ranged for a conference later dur

there has been no recent change
