Yes they viii pay, was the reply;
| hut they are SLOW This country Is In
it's business babyhood, IL has no com
mercial machinery like Other countries.
There are no commercial agencies, such
| as Dun's and Bradstreets and the only
way for stranger TO learn mer-
chants standing is to employ lawyer
who charges well for the service. The
Germans have a system Of their own
by which they know the standing Of the
most Of the trade. They have their
agents IN the principal towns and these
agents subdiylde the territory sur
rounding them and keep reports of the
financial standing Of all business men
In them. There are head agencies IN
Berlin who know the business rating of
firms all over Russia. The Americans
should organize an association for the
same purpose They should have their
own private reports, which In time
would be very valuable
How about catalogues
"Any OF the consuls VIII tell you that
there is no use IN sending catalogues
In English nor In Russian, nor In any
other way than that provided by the
laws of Russia, All catalogues have to
pass the censorship, and Il is best TO
first ask permission TO circulate them
and pay the revenue stamps, amounting
to about 81 cents, required for auch a
request. A great many catalogues are
sent which never get through the mail,
and others are thrown into the waste
basket because the people cannot UNI
derstand them. Some of our manufac-
turing firms, such as those sending ag-
rlcultural machines, understand such
matters and print their advertisements
accordingly"
