up in the organization of a depart
ment Of foreign commerce. William
A. Reid is the counsellor of the de-
partment. His writings and his
series of illustrated business talks
on commercial scouting around and
about the world have attracted wide
attention. Mr.. Reds writings and
achievements reflect the sentiments
and opinions of foreign diplomats,
men of affairs, merchants and i'm
porters with whom he has lived and
mingled for fifteen years and among
whom he has placed vast quantities
of American manufactured products.
During the last two years Mr.. Reid's
articles have been published each
month in the bulletins OF the Pan
American Union OF Washington.

Southern Commercial Congress for
nearly three years, is the secretary
