 what a wonderful country Germany
 must be to turn out all these various
 products that bore the inscription.

 positions of both countries. Germany
 has seen her best days. America now
 rises to the heights she has Striven
 so hard and so long to arrive at.
 And now going one step further what does Bridgeport mean to
 America. You, dear reader, you, the
 have probably never realized that you
 live in the greatest manufacturing
 city in the world. Bridgeport known
 from coast to coast in the days of
 bloody strife as the Essen of Ameri-
 ca has now settled down to normal
 cy. Back to the days before the war had achieved a reputation and ma
 tional fame as the coming manutac-
 turing city of the world
 Today we have arrived at that peak
 of success where we are the largest manufacturing city of the world. No
 better example of this fact is there lthan the windows of the D. M. Read ACo. Here are shown probably the
 largest variety of Made in Bridgeport
 products a prominent display of
 which is being exhibited in practic- ally every store in the city as the forerunner of a monster campaign Ifor a bigger and better Bridgeport AJ Warner Brothers corset company 4tNSot only with factories in Bridge port but in France, Germany and Canada but who are still proud to advertise the fact that theIr offices .are in Bridgeport One of the large massive window displays in the D. M. Read company store is devoted eX- fclusively to a. display of the products tnf this concern.

 Two displays that are sure to in terest the kiddies are those of both the Ives Toy Company and that of 5the Bridgeport Novelty Company. Both these companies have been long established in this city but it was not until the days of the war when the
 flow of toys from Germany stopped

 Another display that is of interest Coach Lace Company. Theirs con- .sists of wide and varied display of upholstering used for the upholster- ing of autos this display would pro- bably go unnotlced but nowadays car over CTS are more thoughtful and in their desire to get every possible amount of use out of their cars it is tcustomary to recover the original fupholstering with another lighter shnd probably rougher substance so that the car will be better equipped and able to stand the abuse to which many are subjected in these times : To those who are in the market for : a product of this kind it would be 1ime and money saver for them to { view this display.
