WHY AMERICANS FAILED
Lord NOrthCliffe Tells of Hl-Advised
Enterprises in England.

You ask me why a number OF
American advertisers who have been
successful in their own country have
not met with a corresponding degree
of good fortune in England.
Many of your business people who
wish to establish themselves in Eng
land do not sufficiently survey the
field, and, as rule not not send
their best men
l remember one concern spending
great sum of money in advertising
the fact that they were about TO in
troduce American shoes" to Eng
land. No one could understand what
they were after. A shoe with us
means low shoe; with you it means,
| believe, what7we call boot. This
is only one of many mistakes that /
have seen made.
A common complaint made by the
visiting American is that the heads
of our business concerns are inaccess-
ible. They are not inaccessible when
the time comes for the discussion of
business, but they very wisely avoid

unnecessary business interviews, q
principle that I notice is being fol-
lowed in the United States much
more than when 1 first made it's ac-
quaintance, Is years ago.
Evey country has it's prejudices,
it's natural likes and dislikes, for
many of which it is difficult to as
cribe any reason. Many American
articles have failed in England for
need of little adjustment. In such
small matters as the wearing of
boots, for example. You wear tight
booths and in wet and cold weather
put on "rubbers," or, as we say, go
loshes.' Rubbers with us are re-
garded as something for old maids
and curates; when they are men
toned it is a signal for laughter.
You will remember that the surate
in "The Private Secretary carried
round with him pair of goloshes
and a bottle of milk. l do not see
why the habit of wearing rubbers
should not be made general in Eng
land, where we have more damp days
than you, and are just as fond of
catching cold.
It is useless, however, to try to
force some things on people. The
Pullman car, for instance, was
hopeless failure in England. I cam
not tell you why, but the people did
not like them There are only one
or two now running. But a modifi-
cation of the Pullman car would, in
my Judgment, have been very sue
cessful.
Some years ago a man came TO
me with a letter of Introduction, ask
/ ing for advice as to whether he
should open some 'shOe shining sa-
looms" He had been through Lon
don once on his way to Paris and
| had noticed that there were 40 shoe
parlors.' as he called them. Here
was city, he said, with population
taken on a Chicago or Philadelphia
basis, of ten or twelve millions where
there must be a magnificent oppor-
tunity for such an enterprise. point
ed out to him that in England that
kind of thing was done at home, and
that if person should appear on
the streets with unbrushed boots he
would be regarded as far from res
pectable However, my advice was
disregarded. l understand that the
shoe saloon was opened, and the pro-
prietor gathered in about 20 custo-
mers a week.

Lots of Room Needed

1t is a curious fact that the invari-
able first thought of British jack
tar when landing from cruise is to
get on a horse. For purposes OF
economy one animal frequently
serves for two or three grinning sail
or boys.
Recently a sailor from the fleet OF
British war ships that accompanied
the Prince of Wales to Quebec ap-
preached the keeper of downtown
livery stable and asked for a horse.
"For riding or driving?" asked the
liveryman.
what kind of a horse do you
want?" continued the liveryman.
