A wide range of British products, from powerful engineering plants to decorative snd utility household goods, will be assembled in 1939. These goods are so arranged, trade by trade and group by group, that buyers from home and overseas visiting the three great exhibition büildings can make their comparisons and selections with maximum ease and certainty.
Next year, the display of textiles at Earls Court will be even more ingeniously planned than in the past. The centre avenue at Earls Court will lead to an archway forming the entrance to the Textiles Section from which corridors will radiate, left and right, to cotton, rayon, and silk; linen; wool; furnishing textiles and made-up soft furnishings; women's and children's made-up wear, and men's made-up wear.
