Oliver Wendell Holmes and
Sir Winston Churchill.
Mr. Hitchman writes:
"Anyone interested in ex
changing bookplates? If so,
I'd be pleased to hear from
them, for I'm always ready
to trade.
"Those who have not yet
been bitten by the book
plate collecting bug may
well turn for background
information io the Encyclo
paedia Britannica. There
they'll learn that book
plates are labels, usually
pictorial or ornamental,
placed in books io indicate
ownership. They have been
in use since about 1480.
''How does one begin col-
! lect,ng7 Flrst' have 0,le of
own as fading stock,
Persuade Cnen who use
en-',nem or institutions with
wnlcn " nave an ""nation
to donate a number of copies
of theirs to your supply of
trade goods. Then find a col
lector, and you're on your
way. He or she will exchange
with you and probably can
supply names of other collec
tors. Before you know what's
happened, letters will be go
ing to and from all parts of
the globe and bookplates with
them.
"I have just received a list
of members of Asociacion de
Ex Libristas Barcelona: 81 of
them, living in Spain, Portu
gal, The Netherlands, Brazil
and France - all prospects for
trade.
"As a collection grows, the
tendency is to specialize: and
here the field of choice is un
limited. Some collect only en
graved plates; others, etched
plates, woodcuts or wood en
gravings. There are collectors
who specialize in punning or
canting plates, in which the
design carries a pun on the
owner's name. Some gather
the bookplates of famous peo
ple. Others like angling
plates, children's plates or
plates with ship motifs.
"What about 'lifting'
bookplates from books in
which they have been past
ed? Collectors (and librari
ans) frown on that. It vio
lates an unwritten code. I
will confess, though, I have
bought books at salvage
stores and bargain tables
just to get the bookplates
in them. But only when the
volumes were 'junkers' and
priced at 25 cents or less.
In these cases, I consider
i I'm saving an item that
i otherwise would be lost.
; "And what to do with the
! bookplates after they're in
! hand? Some collectors keep
I them in envelopes or in loose-
leaf books. I mount mine with
I library paste and NOT rub
i ber cement (the invention of
J the Devil) on good quality
I cards, and I store them in
1 i cases ready for display.
j "That's the story - with one
final word of admonition. If
j one is planning to have a
' j bookplate prepared for per-
1 sonal use and for exchange,
do take the effort to have a
good one, worthy of your
books. Keep in mind: the bet
ter quality the plate, tne
choicer the items that will be
received in exchange for it.
Commercial plates (those
ready-made ones sold in bulk
at stationery stores and im
printed with the owner's
name) have little or no trade
value. Better a well-designed,
type-set plate than an ama
teurish production, one in
hod taste or an armorial plate
that violates the laws of
heraldry!

question: anyone interested in

Decade of Progress
"We have 15 new industries
this year." he said,
than in the last 10
"more
years,
Government revenues in one
month this year - January -from
the Virgin Islands were
higher than in all of 1952.'
Employment practices of
recently-a r r i v e d industries,
Kimelman said, have been
something of an innovation in
the Caribbean area. Many of
them employ women, in jobs
similar to those in the United
States.
"We recently made a survey
comparing the capacity of la
bor in the new plants with
comparable plants in the Unit
ed States," Kimelman said.
"Three of the four plants
found their labor operating at
10 per cent of the capacity of
similar labor in similar plants
in the States."
He said that the labor cost
in the islands was estimated at
