Another issue of Design for Industry magazine here. This one is from Aug/Sep 1959. Featured on the spreads (if you click on them they will increase in size, albeit in a rather clunky fashion) is the Scottish Industries Exhibition that featured 'more than 200 firms representing 100 industries... showing goods of Scottish manufacture'. According to the article, the previous fairs (in 1949 and 1954) attracted more than a million visitors, with buyers from over 100 countries placing orders of more than £20m.
'Germans, Japanese and the Swiss are untiring in their efforts to sell their products abroad. We must do the same,' advises Mr Matthew H Donaldson, General Manager of the exhibition.
