TO OVERSEAS BUYERS

Britain's greatest annual trade display, the British Industries Fair gives the overseas businessman an opportunity of seeing within a matter of hours the pick of United Kingdom industrial production for the pre- eeding year. Indeed the B.I.F., which is to be held this year at Earls Court and Olympîs, London, and Castle Bromwich, Birmingham, from April 30 to May 11, is designed expressly, for the overseas industrialist and buyer and every attempt is made to anticipate and satisfy their needs.

en-COMPANIES

Understanding between nations and peoples, fostered by the bonds of industry and commerce--the necessary flow of goods that keeps the wheels turning all over the world-is basic to peace.

It is our fervent hope-one which we believe is almost universally shared that the statesmen on both sides of any and all existing disputes and misunderstandings will get together and set things to rights. We still hold to the view that mutual trade does most to promote friendship and understanding between nations and peoples, and that we, as business men, should argue that point wherever and whenever we can:- Isbrandtsen
