American Hardware for Brazil

The average imports Of hardware
into Brazil during the normal years
1910. 1911 and 1912 were valued at
S8.36O.OOO a year. and of this total,
from Europe. According TO a re-
port on the subject issued today by
the bureau Of foreign and domestic
commerce, OF the department of
commerce. half the exports from
Europe came from three countries
which are not now in a position TO
continue their shipments in any
considerable quantity.
Brazilian statistics are classified
ia such a way as TO make it impos-
sible 20 determine the exact i'm
ports OF hardware. but the foregO-
ing figures are held 10 furnish an
approximate idea Of the trade. A
large share OF the business has been
in the hands OF Germany. In eight
OF the Is classes Of imports in
which hardware is found that coun-
try has supplied larger share than
any other. and in five Of these class
Is IL mas EOlu lllOl = IMAM ali It's NOllA-
petitOrs combined. In three others
IL has been little behind the leader.
England has held first place only
in manufactures of zinc: plated
goods; staples; nails, screws and
rivets. tools and utensils; manufsc-
lures of nickel; and gymnastic and
sporting goods. The United States
mas led only in manufactures Of
lead and in scales.
The author of the report, former
Commercial Attache Lincoln Hutch
ison, sees no reason why the Euro
pean manufacturers should domi-
nate the market TO the virtual eX-
clusion Of American hardware.
Tariffs are very high, but they han
dicap the European manufacturers
as we'll as the Americans. POrtu-
guese is an unusual accomplish
ment in the United States but if
statesmen of the other countries sec
profit in mastering il, Americans
should find il equally worth while.
There is no prejudice against Amer
lean goods; in fact, everything else
being equal, it is more than likely

had fled with the department COW
cred the products on which the
number was used After this method
had been in operation for some time
it was found that the guaranty
legend on the label was misleading
10 the public. IL was incorrectly as
sumed by consumers generally and
some retail dealers that the guar
anty legend on the label meant that
a sample Of the product had been
examined by the u. S. department
of agriculture and that in effect the
u. S. department of agriculture ac-
tUally guaranteed the product.
Object of the Guaranty.
The food and drugs act provides
that no dealer shall be prosecuted
under the provisions Of that act
when ne can establish a guaranty
signed by the wholesaler. jobber,
manufactures. or other party resid-
ing in the United States, from whom
he purchases articles of food and
drugs The guaranty should be to
the effect that the foods and drugs
TO which it applies are not adulter-
ated or misbranded within the
meaning of the act. The object of
this provision is to make the manu-
facturer or wholesaler or person
who knows the composition of the
food and drug products responsible
for their compliance with the pro-
visions of the law. In many cases
a dealer does not know the compo-
sitiOn of the products he sells, and
can not afford the expense Of hav-
ing an analysis made in order to
determine it for himself. A pro-
vision, therefore, was inserted in the
law 10 the effect that, if the dealer
secured a guaranty from the manu-
facturer or wholesaler or other per-
son from whom he purchases, the
party making the guaranty would
be responsible under the law. and
the dealer would be relieved of re-
sponsibility. The dealer should see
that all his foods and drugs which
have entered interstate commerce.
or which he expects 10 ship in in
terstate or foreign commerce, or TO
sell in the District of Columbia or
the territories. are guaranteed to
him in the manner outlined. The
guaranty was never intended TO be.
and never has been, in any sense a
guaranty by the department of ag-
riCulture.

Apples in Small Packages

Several eastern apple growers
were very successful last winter in
marketing apples in small or family
packages. Some sold direct TO the
consumer, while others sold to retail
stores and fruiterers or consigned 70
commission dealers One grower put
practically his entire crop in half
bushel peach baskets which were
handled by a commission dealer He
used $500 baskets which sold at 10
cents TO 81 each. The results in eacn
instance were generally profitable
and satisfactory. declares the editor
of Farm and Home.
Several styles, types and sizes of
of packages were employed. Some
used cartons holding Il or 10 apples
in individual compartments, like egg
boxes. One big grower used a sim
liar type OF box holding either so or
100 fruits. These are made with
compartments of four sizes and are
especially adapted 10 supply fruiter-
ers with fancy apples, peaches, etc.
Apples were shipped successfully IN
them from Massachusetts to Cali
fornia
Not many growers are situated to
market their fruit in this way, but
where they are near enough to a
good market to make two deliveries
week and have a large percent
age of fancy fruit. il is worth trying
The additional returns are not. how
ever, all profit, for il takes cOnsid-
cradle more time and lsa3or TO sort
and pack fruit in small packages
than in baskets or barrels

that a preference would be shown
goods manufactured in the United
States.
Need Intensive Study.
What is needed is an intensive
study Of market conditions in
Brazil. such as the Germans have
made, and there never will be
more favorable time TO make such
study than the present. Trade
gained at this time may be retained
when the war is over if proper pre-
cautions are taken. Mr.. Hutchinson
has devoted many pages 10 the de-
tails that must be mastered If new
business is TO be retained. Much
stress is laid upon tact and courtesy
and upon a knowledge Of the Ian
guage. a number of mistakes made
by American shippers are described.
some Of which are at once amusing
and tragic. The attache himself
once imported an order of biscuits
from the United States. The invoice
stated Crackers since the export
er never thought Of the possibility
OF having the biscuits taken for
fireworks. But the result was that
all the biscuits were unlOaded at
the depot for inhamma bles. and
considerable time and money were
expended before they reached their
I final destination. The impression
that sort of an experience would
make on the average importer can
easily be imagined.
The new report is the fifth of a
| series issued by the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce on the
hardware markets Of the world. A
total of IA samples of hardware
successfully sold in Brazil we're
forwarded with the report and after
being exhibited in the principal
hardware centers will eventually be
added TO the permanent collection
Of samples at the custom house in
New York. Part of the report is
given over 10 a description Of The
trade in each hardware line and has
been made as practical and specific
as possible. In all there are SO
pages. The exact title is Brazilian

CHANGE FORM
Of GUARANTEE
New Legend viii Be Less Mis-
leading to Buyers of Foods
and Drugs.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 20. - The
following legend, so familiar in the
Fast on food and drug packages,
Guaranteed by manufacturer under
the food and drugs act, June 20.
1906, serial number 265, 424" is dis
appearing from labels. \ method
for guaranteeing foods and drugs
which will be less misleading to the
public has been provided by the Of
hcials in charge of the enforcement
OF the food and drugs act Under
the new plan manufacturers may
guarantee their products on the in
voice or bill of sale, or by certain
other methods, but according TO a
food inspection decision which be-
came effective on Nov. 1, 1916, they
may not make any statement re-
garding a guaranty or serial num-
Der on the labels of packages Of
foods or drugs which enter inter-
state or foreign commerce. How
ever, labels containing the guaranty
legend and serial number which
ere printed prior 20 May 3, 1914,

to discontinue the guaranty legend
and serial number was issued. may

TO prevent the loss that otherwise
would occur from the destruction of
such labels.
The New Way TO Guarantee.
The manufacturer. wholesaler. or
other person residing in the United
States and shipping foods or drugs
into interstate commerce, according
TO the amended regulation, may
print or stamp his guarantee on the
invoice, bill or sale, or on any COM
merCial paper that contains a list Of
the items OF foods or drugs which he
intends 10 guarantee. The depart
ment of agriculture does not pre-
scribe the exact form that the guar
anty shall take, but is of the opin-
ion that the following wording Will
be satisfactory:
Il (We). the undersigned. do
hereby guarantee that the articles
OF food (and drugs listed herein
are not adulterated or misbranded
within the meaning OF the federal
food and drugs act. June so. 1906.
as amended"
This statement should DE followed
by the signature. which may be
printed or stamped If the invoice or

Why the Change Was Made.

BUILDING OVER
MILLION MARK
Construction Work Reaches
Highest Mark in History of
South Bend.

The fact tnat the first 20 days in
December have turned I'm almost as
much business 10 the Office OF the
building department OF the city. as
was done in the whole month Of
November seems 10 show that the
month will be one OF even greater
activity when the full report is in.
A 10 percent loss. only has been
registered which considering the
fact that December has yet 10 days
10 run shows it up in a very favor
able light Up TIN Dec 20 when
the accounts OF the year OF the
City's business are made up, rec
ords show that "a permits were
granted for a total estimated value
Of S63.564.
Contrasting these figures with
those Of December, 1915, IL is found
that both in number and value a
gain OF 24O percent is registered.
Counting the full II months OF
both years. leaving out Of considera-
ton the uncouHted 10 remaining
days Of 1915. the gain in the num-
Der OF permits during 1916 has been
$50 percent and in total values as
percent. Here are the figures that
prove beyond doubt the good condi-
ton Of business In 1915 there were
3S5 permits granted for $S1S,17S
and in 1916 there were 926 permits
for a total Of $1.216,5O1.
For the first time in the history Of
South Bend building operations for
a single year have passed the million
dollar mark AS a record of the
expansion Of the city and its growth
along a dozen lines. no better evil
dence can be required. In these
figures are represented the new fac
tories that are bringing the new
citizens 20 the town as we'll as the
dwellings that are demanded for
their use.
SO much more than the more
volatile bank clearings tina: may be

I'm permanent additions TO the city,
buildings that are being erected give
a soliG foundation for the estima-
ton OF the city's growth. Each per-
NIT issued almost necessarily means
"A permanent, desirable improve
ment to the city. II means the
creation OF new possibilities for
South Bend and the widening of its
influence among the markets OF the
world.
During the last week the building
business has shown the erratic gain
Of 1,472 peNAnt over the business
done during the week preceding. OF
course. the week ending Dec. 10 was
one OF exceedingly small returns
showing but seven permits for a to-
tai OF $1,319 The week ending last
Saturday recordea seven permits
but the face value OF them reached
S19.425.
The greater portion OF the bust
ness is TO be credited TO the permit
for $4,000 for the construction OF
an addition TO the plant OF the Step
henson underwear mills. Various
other permits for small sums made
up the difference.

GASOLINE TO CLEAN HOGS

4 farmer tells in Farm and Fire
side that a new wrinkle in cleaning
hogs has been discovered. The
writer says
Instead of scalding in the usual
manner 1 have tried a new wrinkle.
Most men dislike the work Of scald-
ing a hog because Of the steam and
smell. and the new plan does away
with this entirely. The method as
reported 20 me was 20 take the dead
hog 10 an open place free from lit
ter or straw. and where there is
nothing 10 catch on fire Then pour
a small quantity OF gasoline over the
carcass and touch a lighted match
10 it,
The plan sounded so good that !
gave IL a trial on two large hogs
No directions were given as TO the
best way of applying the gasoline
or the quantity TO use / had been
simply told that "a farmer in anOth-
er neighborhood used the method
and il was successful. so / put my
hogs in a safe place and used the
gasoline very sparingly. Less thar
a pint covered the whole carcass eX-
cept the part touching the ground.
