Looking round the exhibits, the visitors recollect the devoted efforts made by President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il for the production of consumer goods.

In October Juche 40 (1951) when the country was at the height of war, the President visited a light industrial exhibition, stressing the need to rapidly develop the nation's light industry and local industry so as to fully provide the inhabitants with daily necessities.

In December 1979 he sent samples of knitted hats to light industrial officials to produce similar goods suited to the physical constitution and tastes of Korean women in keeping with the national sentiment and the modern aesthetic sense.

He personally chose 206 kinds of sundry goods, badly needed for the people's daily life, and examined designs of model consumer goods to raise their quality and quantity.

True to the noble intention of the President, leader Kim Jong Il made a ceaseless journey of field guidance for the wellbeing of the people in his lifetime.

He visited the Pyongyang city light industrial goods exhibition in August 1984 and the 2nd Commodity Exhibition at Pyongyang Department Store No. 1 in July 2011, calling for production of more consumer goods on a mass basis and indicating the detailed ways for raising the quality of goods.

Saying that the country and the people would get benefits as much as their leader's efforts, he continued his field guidance to light industrial factories despite weather conditions until the last moments of his life.

Among those factories were the Sinuiju Cosmetics Factory and Sinuiju Enameled Ironware Factory.

Their devoted efforts and feats for the people's happiness and wellbeing will be always remembered and encourage the people to build a thriving nation under the guidance of respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.
