guard against water often causes the loss
OF thousands Of dollars TO customers.
II must be remembered that steamers
dock at very few ports in South Amer

not infrequent that cases get into the
water before they reach the lighters.

ruined IN this way.
MISTAKES IN PACKING.
Then, too. we are prone to pack too
heavily Importers IN most countries
OF South America are charged duty on
gross weight OF packages. The heavier
ths packing. the heavier the duty. South
Americans who buy cloth here always ask
that the board around which the bolts ara
wound be taken out This is seldom done.
The result Is extra and unnecessary En-
pense with the customs officials Also.

in heavy cases, reinforced and strength

packing, thoroughly waterproof, the GUS
toner would be saved extra duty and his
goods would have arrived IN good shapel
instead OF being ruined by water.
A few years back a firm doing a bio
business in the interior of Ecuador bought
In New York a large consignment OF sta
tionery. The order amounted 10 $1,000.
and the customer paid cash. Specific In
structions were given the shipping crrai
how the stationery should be packed 1cl
was explained that the merchandise a.
would have 10 be unloaded by lighters
and then shipped part Of the way on rail-
roads and then on pack mules. 1t was
the rainy season, and It was pointed out
that the sudden tropical storms would
play havoc with the paper. The customer
asked that the paper and envelopes be
wrapped in heavy paper and then in light
canvas which should be shellacked in
order 10 turn water. All these instructions
were ignored. When the goods arrived.
about two months later all the envelopes
were stuck together The loss was $4,000
