Fewer Foreign Toys.
Toy dealers are laying In heavy
supplies and the larger portion of
the articles this year have been man
ufactured in America. The German
toymakers found comparatively few
American customers as compared
with other years. but still are a fac

this competition, however, has been
counterbalanced to some extent by
