In some matters American merchants
and exporters are very slow to learn the
lesson of their real opportunities, thus con-
tradiCting many traditions. Cor long
time the consular officers have been point
ing out to the manufacturers and shippers
here at home the value of display of sam
pies of their goods in the foreign markets.
Report after report has been sent to the
State Department. indicating how eager the
foreign buyers are for American articles
when once they have seen the things them
selves. Experience has shown most con-
clusively that catalogues and illustrated de
scriptions of exported products do not Sufii-
GENTLY attract the purchaser. Neverthe-
less. it is with exceeding difficulty that the
exporters are prevailed upon to change
their methods. The vice consul st Nice has
just submitted a report tending to clinch
this demonstrations FIe tells how he per
suaded a firm in that city to establish a
sort of American commission house. to
which merchants in this country were
asked to send samples. from which orders
might be secured. TO avoid possible loss
it was provided that in the event Of a lack
of large orders the samples might be sold
and the proceeds handed over to the eX
porters. Notwithstanding the richness of
to send catalogues and picture books. and
refused to send samples or to contribute
in any manner to an actual exposition Of
goods Consequently the enterprise has
failed and the market is practically closed
to large quantities of American goods
which would otherwise have found "a ready
sale
This point has been adduced often before.
One Of the standing necessities IF American
trade Is the institution of permanent expo
sitions i'll the foreign cities. Observers Of
trad,. conditions in Asia particularly urge
this plan a. one of the first steps toward
winning the markets. In South America,
too. where the market would be most easily
secured by the American shippers the local
demand is for a display of goods instead
Of circulation of dodgers and illustrated
catalogues. Through these expeditions the
merchants could more readily learn the pc
culiar preferences of the people. Each
country has its own individual needs and
prejudices Customs must he studied to
earn trade. one of the chief reasons for
the success Of the English fabrics and
