Maine Industrial
Heads Are Benefitting
By Summer Folks

Portland, Me, Aug. "A survey OF
the activities this summer of some
of the states leading industries show
that they are beginning to appreciate
the value, from a commercial aspect,
of the million or more tourists who
will visit he state. 1t shows that
the work done by the State of Maine
Publicly Bureau with headquarters at
Longfellow Square is bearing fruit
In putting the recreational appeal
before the public in sufficient force to
draw visitors here who have the op-
portunity to look over the ware pro-
duced by Maine industries.
Many of the larger firms realizing
this have opened up many attractive
and popular show rooms and are also
displaying on living models IN cen
trally located places Maine made
goods. The throngs of visitors which
daily visit these exhibitions cannot
fail but to be one of the best forms of
visual, advertising that has yet been
offered to Maine firms, to show their
wares.
The York Manufacturing Co.. of
Saco is one of the firms who were
quick to appreciate the opportunity
to advertise their wares. They have
been conducting a style show at one
of the leading hotels at Old Orchard
employing living models to display
to seasonable wearing apparel made
from dress goods which are manu-
featured in their mills. They have
displayed a representative line of
their RED Seal Zephyr" and Sunny
brook Cloth in style creations which
are applicable to the summer season.
The exhibition has been put on in a
most attractive and pleasing way and
las attracted thousands Of the out
o6-state tourists to 1t who learned for
the first time what Maine had to Of
fer along these lines.
1t is hoped that this and similar
exhibitions will be put on at other
resorts in the state.
Other firms who are also taking
advantage of the tourist trade as a
means of advertising are the Pepper
ell Manufacturing Co., at Biddeford
who have installed a very attractive
display room where a full line OF
their fine quality products are on
permanent display to visitors
The Sanford Mills and Goodall
Worsted Co. at Sanford also have a
salesroom and permanent exhibit of
representative fabrics which are made
in their mill. which is the largest of
it's kind in the world.
Concrete evidence that the work
done by the State of Maine Publicity
Bureau, which is member of the
State of Maine Associates, and which
is supported wholly by private sub
scriptions, is bearing fruit is shown
by the fact that it is now attracting
sufficient interest and attention so
that representative factories are now
sending direct subscriptions of funds
to support the ever increasing work
that the bureau it doing. Heretofore
the bureau has been supported for the
past three years mainly by the So
called resort interests consisting of
hotels and camps.
l.. C. Minor, field secretary OF the
bureau. reports he finds an increasing
ly ready response from all classes of
the so-called non-resort interests.
The larger representative mills are
subscribing units of from 500 to $1,000
each In this category are such con-
Germs as the Pepperell Manufacturing

Wallpaper Industry Training
Paperhangers

Modern vocational training has
for several years been recognized
as a vital step in the development
of American industries. Manufac-
turers in many fields are forced
to depend upon craftsmen and me-
chanics for proper application and
installation. The wallpaper indus
try is one of those that recognize
the importance of developing more
and better mechanics and as re-
suit of its educational program,
paperhanging classes have already
been established in public schools
throughout the entire country. Ap-
proximately $500 men are training
at the present time for the paper

Newly Decorated Rooms In
White House Reflect
Modern Trend

In selecting the decorations and
furnishings for her own room and
also for the Presidents room, Mrs.
Coolidge has brought about a de-
Ilightful harmony of strong and
beautiful colorings. For the Presi-
dents room she selected one of the
new scenic wallpapers,-cool, sober,
restrained and classic in its effect.
The eoloring of this paper is deep
blue and grey and gives the room
unusual interest because of the
many vistas which are opened up
by reason of its carefully drawn
perspectives. For her own room,
Mrs. Coolidge chose a gay floral
paper of the chintz type in soft rose
and apricot colorings. The furni-
p ture in both rooms is a splendid

are invariably characterized by

which makes them all alike"
Perhaps the Baron's criticism is
we'll founded in so far as houses
which were decorated several years
ago are concerned. It is regrettable,
however, that the Baron could not
have visited some of the smarter
american homes decorated recently.
American people themselves have

that leading American architects

are introducing colorful variety by
means of the countless designs

more than a coincidence that the

by Ambassador Herrick for one of

American Designs For American
Homes
The lively interest shown in re-
cent contests for wallpaper designs
suitable for American manufacture,
shows that famous artists are be-
ginning to realize that their genius
is not dimmed by applying it to
the requirements Of American in
dustries. This has been true abroad
for years, hence our erstwhile idea
that we prefer goods of foreign
manufacture. The better artists Of
America today are beginning to
apply their ability to the designing
Of wallpapers, fabrics and furniture
as we'll as to portraits and mural
paintings. 1t is therefore. not sur
prising that those who appreciate
really beautiful things are no long
err finding it necessary to shop
abroad. The work of such institu-
tons as the Metropolitan Museum
of Art in bringing together the bet
ter artists and manufacturers OF
our country is rapidly making avail
able a wealth of American made
decorative products, vastly more
suitable for American homes than
anything that ever came from the
other side.
