Gives Reasons for Failure.

The author of the bureaus report,
Special Agent j. A. Massel, has some
decided opinions upon what constitutes
efficient selling methods in Argentina.
1T is very evident. he says. that,
If one excepts agricultural machinery
and possibly few other lines of minor
Importance, the American manufac-
turer has thus far had virtually no
market in Argentina for his products
in general and for machine tools in
particular. The following are the most
important reasons for this state of af-
fairs: The very few American houses
that tried to do business in Argentina
measure, of their failure to adapt
themselves to the business practice Of
the country. The American manufac-
turer was content to send out travel
ing statesmen with little or no know1-
edge of the country's language or GUS
toms. selling or endeavoring to sell
mainly from catalogues and price lists
printed in English. In general he de-
manded payment for his goods cash
against shipping documents in New
York. The fact that Europe has i'm
mensely superior shipping facilities
has been an important factor. Europe
also has made large Investments OF
capital in Argentina, and practically
all of the important industries-the
railroads, power plants, etc.-are In
the hands of Europeans. The fact that
ket in Europe for its products is not
without its influence. And finally 1T
must be confessed that the Europeans
have had the incentive of really need
ing the market, while many Americans
have been only mildly interested"
