Consul Rufin Of Paraguay says that the butter supply fer that country comes mainly from Europe, and is in- ferior to that made in the United s ates. He thinks the sUp5rior quality Of American butter would insure it's rapid sale, and states Una. the retail price is from 8 tc. 40 cents, geld, p:r pound. Foreign butter, however, pays a 50 per cent duty. The consul sug- gests he following innocent tricks of ths trade: Let any butter manufac- turer cater to the whims of the p:o- pie by placing Cn his small cans pie ture Of the president Of Paraguay, CT those of some of the leading statesmen and an old historic house or two, which would catch the eye Of the people and cause it to be talked about. This would give popularity 10 the American brand, and ought to lead 70 quick and profitable sales. Nothing of this sort exists in the country"
