Hard times in Europe have resulted in dumping of literally thousands bf oil paintings and other pieces of art into the' American market, the majority of which have proven to be fakes or copies of master pieces in the dpinion of Gustavus T.

Ki'rby of the American art gallery. Many these "originals" were thought genuine by their European owners who had inherited them and. never had occasion to examine them until the war took their wealth. Most of them were greatfy surprised when the fact thcye are cither copies or fakes, had h.een discovered by customs officials on arrival in this country. Of course, Mr.

Kirby pointed out, some of them are geuine originals, such ag Gainsboro's "The Blue Boy" and Reynolds', "Mrs. Siddons as the Tragic Muse," but the apparent great revival in buying and selling of fine pieces of art is indicated by the transfer of ownership of cheap copies. Many of these paintings were hung on ancestral walls in European homes for centuries and were considered by successive generations eg originals. BUSINESS LOCALS Tennessee Red Cedar fchests.
