GERMAN LABEL MISSING
FROM RECENT PRODUCTS
LONDON, Oct. 27.—The once famil
iar “Made in Germany” is not appear
ing on products of German manufac
ture since the armistice which are find
ing their way into continental mar
kets. An American salesman who has
just returned to London from Italy has
several samples of the goods German
firms are distributing there. Each
bears some symbol, but not the three
old words. A cutlery firm has its
name in a semi-circle at the base of
the blades, and under it is stamped
a lion.
The salesman told the Associated
Press: “I saw many new German
made articles in Italy priced far be
low what American manufacturers can
produe them for. I was surprised to
find that the Germans were offering
from twelve to eighteen months’
credit.”
