proprietary medicines-there is
q a big field for American manufac-
turers Chileans are large consumers
Of patent medicines. Trade has been
largely in hands of Germans. Imports
now shut off by war. American patent
medicines could occupy this field"
After a journey around South Amer
lea 1 can apply this observation to the
entire continent There is a broad OPP
portunity everywhere for extending the
sale of American patent medicines. an
opportunity which American manufac-
turers are taking advantage of. Not
only are these preparations being sold,
but American toilet articles are coming
into favor.
This is especially true in the case of
preparations used in the care of the
teeth. South Americans share with
Europeans the opinion that American
dentists are the best in the world. and
dental preparations benefit by this
opinion.
The subject of patent medicines is
brought in at this point not so much
for Its own sake as 10 lHlIouuSC d
story of American craftsmanship In
South America that illustrates the 1g-
norance of some American manufac-
turers with respect to South American
geography, transportation and COM
mercial conditions, and the necessary OF
giving an American salesman In South
America a fair deal in the home office.
The traveller in South America Is apt
to gain false impression OF the ex-
tent of Yankee trade simply because
some of the most conspicuous objects
in the stores are of American manu-
facture. The cheap automobiles on the
streets of the cities are made In U. s.

train comes from the United States,
and perhaps the coach in which the
traveller rides. The fnterurban electric

lean Shoes American hats and Amer
lean toilet articles are on display in
the shop windows.
But these are the snowy, conspicuous
objects The Yankee traveller sees
three or four Illinois windmills from
his car window, but fails to observe the
long pile of British briqueted coal be-
side the track. He sees the American
cash register in the department store,
but the clothes worn by the clerks and
the fabrics on the shelves are made in
Europe. He sees an American sewing
machine in the poor howell of the In
dian seamstress, but the goods she
works into garments come from British
and German looms.

The windmill. the cash register and
the sewing machine come within the
class of commerce known as Compel

ufacturers are supreme. But the bulk
of the trade, the backbone of Europe's
foreign trade. is the competitive class
