Abstract
THE British Industries Fair, 1936, will be held at Olympia and the White City, London, and at Birmingham, on February 17-28. The general exhibits will be seen at Olympia, the furniture and textiles section at the White City and the engineering and hardware section at Birmingham. There will be no less than twenty-four miles of exhibits, of which London's stand frontage will be 12\ miles and Birmingham's 11 \ miles. The Overseas catalogue recently issued contains a classified list of exhibitors which alone occupies 170 pages, and the key-parts of the catalogue are printed in nine languages. The organisers are able again to say, as they have said in each preceding year, that it will be a record-breaking Fair. The exhibitors number 1,421, London contributing most of them 775. Other cities and districts sending exhibitors to the Fair are, following the order of their contributions: Birmingham, the Potteries, Manchester, Sheffield, High Wycombe, Nottingham, Leeds and Liverpool. Seven sections are larger than last year, and the display of furniture at the White City will be the largest in the history of the Fair. The largest number of foreign buyers visiting the Fair will come from Holland; Germany is second on the list and Belgium, which was second last year, is third. Large contingents of buyers will also arrive from France, Denmark, Switzerland, the United States, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Spain. From the British Empire countries, the largest number of buyers will come from the Irish Free State, with Canada next, followed by India, South Africa and Australia in that order. Altogether sixty-four countries will be represented.
