IN sensible, well considered article
on the Importance of seeking FOREIGN
markets for the products of our skilled
labor, the current issue of the Fe,ect,e
Recieso says
1t should be the aim of every MAINS
lacturer to seek trade abroad. Mexico.
Central America and South America
should draw largely from the United
States instead of England and other
European countries, If manufacturers
from all over this country had regular
monthly trade from abroad, it would aid
much in keeping their factories and shops
running, as nearly all foreign trade is
cash with the order" which means no
losses. It would materially assist in
breaking down the ruinous practice that
has been growing in many lines of manu-.
featured articles, notably 10 the agricul-
tural line, of selling on the installment
plan, extending the payments from four
to thirty six months, and in some cases
even on longer time; many times selling
to parties of little responsibility and with
but little business ability, in hopes that
the buyer will make money enough ont OF
the machinery TO meet his payments.
