the public may attend, in the normal course of things, exhibitions of industrial design at which the goods can actually be bought over the counter. In addition a far wider range of people will be attracted to see the exhibition, and the buyers of the various shops will be in a position to sound the feelings of their own customers on this question of industrial design ; the wants and views may vary according to districts as well as classes of shops and such a census should be of interest to manufacturers.
This programme represents widely extended activity on the part of the D.I.A. and the Association hopes for the support of a wide section of the public not only by subscription but by personal activity.
