KAISER’S BUSINESS APTITUDE.

Now Pushing u*e of Output of Potteries for Building Purpose*. The Emperor has recently- shown himself to be an excellent business man by the energetic and efficient way in which he has pushed the sale of the manufacture’s of the pottery works at Cadinen, which belong to him. These pottery works, whejre majolica is the’ principal article have been the Kaiser’s private property for several years, and his Majesty personally supervises their management Apart from acting as managing director of the the London Standard says, his Majesty also contrives to stimulate the sale of these manufactures among his friends and wealthy men. Recently majolica from the imperial potteries was used to decorate the hall and staircases of a new home at Danzig, and the Emperor, hearing of this, announced his intention of going to see the new building. The two Berlin architects who had designed the decorations-were ordered to be there to receive his Majesty. The Kaiser, on entering the house and seeing his majolica, said: “The purveyor comes to visit his patron.” After ascertaining by personal observation that the use to which majolica is put in this house opens an entirely new field, the Kaiser commanded the architect, Herr Lesser, to visit him in Berlin in order to explain matters to him more fully. It is now announced that in consequence of the royal visit to the house in Danzig, several builders of new houses in Berlin have decided to use imperial majolica for their decorations. The result is that there is a “boom” in majolica from the imperial potteries at Cadinen. The Kaiser’s wares are in high favor, and new customers are sending in orders day by day.
