FOR FOREIGN TRADE.
Portland Board of Trade to Assist
Manufacturers.

Portland Board of Trade to Assist
Manufacturers.
The Portland board of trade has con-
cluded that the best way for Maine in
dustries TO continue prosperous under the
new tariff is to expand their foreign trade.
The board recognizes that many manu-
facturers are so situated that an energetic
campaign abroad is out of the question.
They have, in many cases, had no expert
ence with foreign markets, and thousand
unknown details, aside from the heavy ex
pense involved, stand in the way Of an in
dividuai attempt to expand foreign sales.
A committee OF three members has been
appointed to perfect the organization OF 9
bureau which will act for the individual
factories in making determined and well
advertised campaign in the foreign field.
The proposed bureau will be independent
OF the Portland board OF trade. 1t is to be
central agent for pushing foreign sales.
It will be operated by and for the manu-
facturers who choose to participate in the
wide opportunities il opens to them.
This committee is interested purely
from the standpoint OF the interests OF the
State at large. The work il does will be
paid for only through the prosperity that
results to the entire State. 1t is a matter
of the greatest Importance. The board
wants the entire State to be interested.
The president of the State board OF trade
is member of the committee. A united
effort will bring increased prosperity to
