It is not often that a fancy/ trade of this day scription flourishes in this country. Where ideas, artistic treatment, and delicacy of sug gestion are required, the phlegmatic British Temperament seems to be out of it, and the foreigner rules the roast. However, the cracker trade is largely a British monopoly, which sa | tisfactory condition of affairs is principally due.. to the enterprise and inventive genius of the - firm of Messrs. Tom Smith & Co. They pracy tically supply the world with its Christmas crackers, and their output has increased" "year" by year till it has reached the colossal annoti total of 13,000,000.
This in itself is an amazing fact. Thirteen million crackers placed end to end would reach from London to New York. Packed tightly into one pile they would form a solid vertical columa considerably larger and wider than
