enough to command the attention of
the leading manufacturers and export
ers of the United States who are seek

is a general desire on the part of Rus
sian merchants and dealers to make
connections with American manufac-
turers, provided this can be done ad-
vantagcously-that Is, If they can deal
directly with the home company. The
surest and best means of introducing
goods into Russia is to send samples
