German manufacturers are sighting

Miller, of Miller Brothers, jewelry

Europe especially to represent the COM
pany at the National Merchandise Fair.
Every European country, Mr. Mil
Ter said, Clocks to America to solve all
difficulties. The Europeans are very
much worried about the possible pass
age of the tariff. For many Industries
this. legislation means ruin. Over
burdened with taxes, continually rising
pr1ces for all necessaries and contin-
ued depreciation of the mark, the Ger
man manufacturer must increase pro-
duction. This he frequently does at the
expense of quality. The specialist is
ruined, but the general manufacturer
is often able to recoup losses on one
line by the manufacture of a new
article.
MANY articles of manufacture have
to be discontinued, due to exeessiye
prices OF raw materials. Several purses
we formerly sold were discontinued for
this reason. The situation in Austria
is worse than in Germany, although
