That was ln th goad old days when the home was th factory and the myriads ef wooden trinkets wer carved by hand. By and by there came a revolution In the Industry: machinery for manufacturing dolls, doll house, soldiers, hobby horse, pianos and what not, wis Invented, big factories sprang up In th city Itself and th suburb and th tens of thousand of home worker disappeared to give place to thousands of factory hands. Sine then newer and better labor-saving Inventions have further cut down the domand for manual labor until the uoudly thot anrt nf decuJ or so ago hav become much fewer la number. C'llB Old Methods.

All told, some ),ono persons are directly employed the year through, and, excepting a thou-rind or two who work It) doll factories In Ponneberj:, the rest of this toy fashioning multitude do their work In their own homes, either for themselves and afterward selling th-lr handiwork to buyers, or else as employes f'.r wholesale toy dealers In Sonneberi?, v.hcre all the to.s m-ido In Thurii;?l.in fore! fitiallv lli:d fhf-lr v:ny, thence t3 be shipped at the psychological moini ut to Kngland and America, and to the parts of the fatherland where toymakers SJ un known In tl e fl.h.

Then there are the Knglish makers of card game, on or mora such game find ing a way Into th stocking of th average American child with each recurring Christ mas. Th Industry give steady work to other thouaands, and this can be readily understood when tt la stated that that 1 a small game card factory which turn out only l.WO.Ow pocks of cards a year. And while Johnny Jones and his sister Bus ar wishing theme cardrr.aker th bast that tho season affords let them da the same by the several thousand men and women simi larly engaged In their own land.
