facturers' Union closed yesterday after a very successful four-day session. It is estimated that dur! ing the period it was open, more than 5,000 people visited the Ex- hibition.
That there is a definitely hope- ful future for native Chinese pro- ducts is proven by the extensive interest taken in the Exhibitio and the total of purchases actual- 19.made and orders placed, which run into several thousand dollars.
If it has done nothing but to.. show the universality and effi- ciency of Chinese manufacture, the Exhibition would have served its, purpose...
An additional point which has evoked much lavourable comment was the high quality of the goods displayed.
