Why Yankee salesmennHsve Not Sue

In the matter Of statesmen abroad,
we must have men who not only speak
the language but who are also thor
oughly c~onversant with the customs
and idiosyncrasies of the people with
whom they deal, says the Engineering
Magazine. The South American, in
his buying as in almost everything
else, is q most deliberate person as
well as a sensitive one. A salesman

asked-rather than make assertions
about his goods, win o~utselI, five to

opened up a sample case. This is a
thing so contrary to the instinct Of the
American salesman that, to date, in
his wanton disregard Of It, he has con

more experienced European rivals.
