The Toy Industry of Germany. 



Something of the extent of the toy manufac- 

 turing industry in Germany may be learned 

 from a recent report of Consul George H. Ifft. 

 of Anuaberg, one of the greatest toy making 

 centers of Germany. From January 1 to Sep- 

 tember 1, 1900. a total of 9.895 tons of toys 

 were sent to the United States, as against 8.716 

 tons for the same period in 1905. The exports 

 to England during these months were nearly 

 equal to those to the United States, and it is 

 estimated that over $3, 500, 000 worth of toys 

 are manufactured annually to supply the Ger- 

 man market. 



Throughout the entire toy manufacturing dis- 

 trict of Germany factories were busy all through 

 the year, but labor conditions were very unsat- 

 isfactory. The increased cost of living every- 

 where in Germany has caused a demand for 

 higher wages, and in many cases a strike has 

 been resorted to in the effort to enforce these 

 demands. At Nuremberg a strike, affecting 

 many workmen and lasting many weeks, has 

 just been terminated by granting not only 

 higher wages but shorter hours. Toy makers, 

 both the factory employees and the house work- 

 men (those who work at their own homes), are 

 organizing to enforce their wants. Added to 

 this has been the increased cost of raw mate- 

 rials, in some cases the advance being as high 

 as 50 per cent, and the result has naturally 

 been a very unsatisfactory condition of the 

 industry both from the standpoint of the manu- 

 facturer and the workman. 



In the Erz mountains of Saxony the toys 

 made are mostly of wood, and while there are 

 quite a number of factories, the work done by 

 men in their homes is the larger factor. Labor 

 there is not so well organized as at Nuremberg 

 and other points, and the industry has not been 

 interrupted by strikes, etc. Manufacturers have 

 had a very busy year and a fairly prosperous 

 trade with the United States.
