ITO give an idea of the wisdom on the part of
a manufacturer in sending competent travelling
to India and. for the that
to other parts of the world. an instance may be
cited concerning a we'll known American manu-
facturer supplying the hardware trade. who
gagged the services of traveller twelve years
ago journey around the world. says
suar officer in report. I'm due course he ar
rived in India and found his employers goods
were unknown there although there a very
large sale for similar goods made in England The
English maker had held the trade for years and
felt so of his position that he adopted the
foohardy policy of debating to his customers and
whenever he felt like increasing his prices he did

that every dealer felt compelled to handle them,
with the result that prices cut to such an
extent that scarcely any profit remained. Along

goods quite well made the English
tice, the prices were lower and the American manu-
facturer did not dictate All the same the preju-
dice in favor of the oldtime English make was so

American company finds himself In India again.
and upon visiting the bazaars or native shops he
sees American article in every of them
and to-day hundreds and hundreds of cases are be-
ing regularly shipped to the various Indian ports
The English make is gradually being ousted and
the American is creeping in"
