BRITISH PIANOS.

NOTHING NOW TO FEAR FROM GERMANY.

Tradeoptimism was the key note of the views expressed recently to a Day Chronicle represenative by leading British pianoforte manufacturers,

They had "nothing to fear from the bogey of German competi- tion and the loud pedal was well pressed down on present

and future prosperity. The one dis- cord was the pianissimo attitude of British labour in the little matter of production.

"I have just been talking to a man who returned from Berlin a few days ago," said Mr. George W. Turner, the secretary of Messers. John Brinsmead and Sons, Ltd.

"He is a piano trade expert, and be made it his business to find out how things stand over there. His view is that the piano manufacturers in Germany have no stocks of the quality' they were accustomed to send to this country.

"Such stocks as they had were of very inferior quality, badly finished, and not in the least suitable for sale in England at the prices they would be compelled to ask. Undoubtedty these Ger- man pianos were for German consumption. as they were not fit for export. And even so, the stocks were not, heavy, and con- sequently we Bad nothing to fear from the dumping of German pianos on the British market.

It is said that there are over 40,000 German pianos waiting shipment. Frankly, I don't believe it. We can get no trace of them. And such statements are calculat- ed to do much harm to British trade, as being in the nature of an advertisement for German goods, and, moreover, tend to sap the minds of the buying public.

Quite apart from any import duties, we are in a much stronger position to fight the German makers than we were before the

war.

We have learnt many trade lessons.

"British salesmen of 1919 are a thousand times more adept than those of 1914. We have all been shaken up out of the ruts of

timidity in approaching possible customers. The men are easier in their manners, and so nieely convincing. It is not the parrot patter of the American salesman; not the swank that always goes against the grain: but a plain, common-sense statement of the facts that the makers are prepared to stand by.

And you are quite sure about the non-existence of those 40,000. pianos wickedly waiting to be dumped down into our best parlours" queried the Daily Chronicle representative before leaving.

"Quite," said Mr. Turner: "And there is no need to be in the dumps about anything so silly."

A WAR-BORN INDUSTRY,

THE BATTLE-JACK AGAIN IN DEMAND.

The making of Battle-jacks, a Daily. Chronicle representative discovered recently, has provided a new war-bora industry for the market town of Battle, in East, Sussex.

Battle-jacks are the caps madej of leather and rabbit-skin, which the men of East Sussex have worn since long before the days! when the interloping William the Conqueror built his great Battle Abbey in the neighbourhood. They wore them under their belmets in those old "war days: later for work in the fields.

When last year, however, the squire wanted to procure a Battle- jack, there was only one to be found. This was borrowed, local rabbit skins were requisitioned, and local leather-workers got to work.

From that small beginning sprang an industry which is pro- viding work for the men and women of the neighbouring cot- tages.

The fame of the caps spread to London, and there has been a great demand for them from air- men and motorists.

As

headquarters for the distribution of these rural man- ufactures,

picturesque house, dated 1678, has been taken. Battlejacka bought from a mansion which boasts of diamond paned windows, powdering closet and, & secret room may readily be supposed to have a peculiar glamour.

The villagers, however, have also accepted the invitation of many London shops to send their goods to the big city, where they are commanding a large sale,
