What is expected to be the greatest industrial fair ever held in Europe was opened simultaneously in London, Birmingham and Glasgow on February 23, says a London despatch. It is held under the auspices of the Board of Trade. The purpose is to promote the sale of British goads at home and abroad. The first British industrial fair was held in 1915, but at that time nranY.in- dustrial plants were busy making mu- nitions and consequently were unable to participate in it. This year, how- ever, the situation is vastly different, as almost every factory haa returned to peacetime production and therefore will have exhibits. . The. London section of the fair is being held. in the Crystal Palace, the largest exhibition building in the world. Every line of goods manufac- tured in Great Britain. is shown. In- vitations were issued to 50,000 foreign- ers oreign ers and 100,000 Britons. It.will not close until March 5.
