English and Local Industries.

The adjoining exhibit, though not one of local production, is, nevertheless, of interest. It consists of samples of spring hinges for swing doors, and of contrivances for opening and closing fanlights, made by Mr. R. Adams, of London. A thorough-going believer in local industries is Mr. W. H. Price, of Sydenham, whose exhibit is the next to claim attention. He shows costings of brass and German silver—bells and medallions, as sharp in their lines and edges as could be desired. One of his small and convenient hand fire-engines is also on view. The exhibit of the Globe Ink Company represents an industry well worthy the support of the public, especially of the members of the "Association for the Encouragement and Fostering of Local Industries," whose record, it is to be presumed, will never henceforth be written in imported ink.
