NEW YORK, February 14.—Like much of the transportation of the United States, many of the toys of the Nation will be on rubber tires in the next year. There is a big trend toward what the trade knows as “wheel goods.” This is shown un- mistakably at the toy fair now in Drogress here. This fair is the mecca for the St. Nicks of the Nation at present. Play- sthing buyers are here from every State, and 2,000 manufacturers, both domestic and foreign now have ex- hibits on view. All this is in prepa- ration for the holiday season 10 months hence. Any boy or girl who could get a peek at these exhibits to- day would be able to tell pretty well what Santa Claus could be expected to leave December 25 mext. H. D.

Thus the fair influences the sale of at least $30, 000,000 worth of merchandise priced . on a wholesale basis. Some manufac- turers are able to close their books right after the exhibit and devote the remainder of the year to produc- tlon without further selling efforts. Sturdier Toys in Demand.
