New York, Aug. PA special TO the
Tribune from Washington says: No
greater compliment to American man
ufactures and American workmen can
be imagined than that expressed in
the increasing demand upon them by
the world for high grade instruments
and machinery. Coarse, heavy goods,
which show their quality upon their
face, and which are not subjected to
special strain or breakage, are pur-
chased in any market, but those who
purchase complicated and delicately
constructed machinerw which must be
handled and operate 0y persons thou
sands of miles from the place OF con-
struction, show a confidence in the
quality of material and the faithfulness
OF construction which is a marked tes-
timonial to those who make and to
ThOse who sell such articles.
xZ@lEhat the people of the world have
confidence in American goods of this
character, and therefore, in the people
who make and sell them, is shown
by the large orders which American
manufactures OF fine and complicated
machinery have received in the fiscal
year just ended. Telephones, telegraph
instruments. typeWriterS, bicycles,
steam engines, fire engines, railway en-
gines, metal working machinery, shoe
manufacturing machinery, electrical
machinery. sewing machines, printing
presses instruments for scientific pur-
poses, clocks, watches, pianos. organs
and similar articles of delicate con-
struction amounting in value to $780,,
000, coo, have been sent by this country
TO other parts Of the world in the fiscal
year of 1928. From the forests of
Africa and the islands of Oceanica,
from Turkey, Persia, Siam, Corea,
Alden, the Azores. Auckland, Fiji, Ton
ga, Samoa, Madagascar, TripOli, Ger
man Africa, Spanish Oceanica, British
Australasia, the Dutch East Indies,
French Guiana, Portuguese Africa, Ash
attic Russia and the countries of Cen
trail and South America, orders have
come for these products of American
factories. japanese fingers manipulate
American typewriters, Chinese feet and
hands give motion to American sewing
machines, operators in the European
centerS communicate with others in |
distant parts CT the world with Amer
lean telegraph instruments, and the ma !
atfyes OF Africa, India and Oceanica dis !
port themselves on American bicycles. /
For years this country has exported |
sewing machines to the value of s., O0O,- /
GEO or $1,000 coo, but the figures for the /
last year ranged far above the average |
OF the decade. From the time that |
typewriters and bicycles came into use |
There has been a steady demand upon /
sAGerica for them, and now their ex-
fpOrlatiOn ranges into. the millions III
value. and their purchasers are found /
in every part of the globe
