CHISWICK FACTORY MAKES TOYS FOR OVERSEAS
DG/FM
For 364 days of each year, a large toy factory in Chiswick works all out for the 365th day (December 25th). It makes Christmas toys - mostly for the stockings that hang up over overseas fireplaces. The factory's output of lead toys is 35,000 per day, and they include such toys as motor cars, farm animals, and of course soldiers of all kinds. All the lead
toys are hand cast and painted.
